Moments In Time is similar to purchasing or receiving a box of assorted Lindt or Ghirardelli chocolates; you get to sample several different varieties, and there isn't a bad one in the bunch.  The chocolatiers in this anthology are Madeline Sheehan, Karina Halle, Nicole Jacquelyn, Ashley Suzanne, Daryl Banner, and several other talented writers, and the genre ranges from Fantasy to Steampunk to Contemporary Romance.  You cannot go wrong with this book of short stories, PLUS all the proceeds go to the Western New York Independent Living, a nonprofit organization that works with people, young and old, living with a disability, and teaching them life skills that will enable them to take control of their lives.  It's a win-win situation for everyone involved.The first story that I couldn't wait to read is Because You Are Mine by Madeline Sheehan, and it didn't disappoint.  This story involves a  shape-shifter, half human and half wolf, and 100%  hot alpha male wolf.  This story is that one piece of chocolate in the box that everyone fights to claim it first, and I couldn't help, but think of that  piece of delectable chocolate in the image of Joe Manganiello.  I only wish that the story could be developed from a short story into a full novel; I would love to see more Shayanne and Grey.  The Benson by Karina Halle is that piece of chocolate with the center being filled with delicious buttery caramel goodness.  Each story in Moments In Time is delicious, and the wonderful thing is if you get a flavor that you don't like, skip it and move to a different variety:  if you're not a connoisseur of Erotica, move on to Paranormal, Fantasy, Steampunk, or Contemporary Romance.  This book is a treat for readers of all genres, not only should you buy it for yourself, it would also make the perfect gift.
