(Excerpt of a review originally posted on SnarkyMomReads.  Blaze was received in exchange for an unbiased review for NetGalley.)Blaze (A Minxes of Romance anthology) is 201 pages of firemen romance stories for just $3.99.  All stories are based in the town of Coombethwaite and all eight stories are written by different authors:  Maya Blake (Author), Sally Clements (Author), Catherine Coles (Author), Kat French (Author), Tara Pammi (Author), Suzanna Ross (Author), Romy Sommer (Author), Lorraine Wilson (Author).  (If you want to know more about the "Minxes", check out their website.)  While the book promises "scorching hot romances", please be aware that these are not erotic romances - while there is some sex, it's more "smoke" than "fire" when it comes to those scenes.  If you're feeling the need for fireman love, these are great short stories to read while in the carpool lane.  It's also interesting that all the authors based their stories in this village, and the stories weave in & out around different things that happen in the village, or feature the same old busybody neighbor, for example.  However, the one thing I kept thinking was that for a small village, they sure did have a LOT of fires!  LOL!Bottom line?  If you're looking for short & plentiful, pick "Smokin'" with its 17 stories.  Want little bit longer short stories?  (I know.  Oxymoron.)  Try "Blaze".  Want the stories to set you on fire?  "Smokin'" is it for you!  Just want a little smoke started?  Check out "Blaze"!
