I love anthologies because I like the variety and the surprise, and the fact you can dip in and out. This one is awesome, not only because it delivers so many bangs for your buck (it's huge for the price - ten sizzling stories) but because it does that so effectively - in short the writing is brilliant. Serviced is explicit and hot as they come, but if that's all you're expecting, look again. This is heat with heart, and so much more.My fave stories so far are:Taking Command by Zara Stonely, who again exploits her talent to create emotional depth and complex characters in a story about a brother's best friend returning home on leave.  Heat-packed, compelling and illuminating, I loved the fierce determination of heroine, Jade, and the integrity of smoking-hot hero, Andy. Zara is queen of delicious heat and those scenes are pure perfection. Read and enjoy.There's wonderfully evocative language in Raven McAllan's gloriously wicked historical, Major's Minah. Feisty heroine Minah was delectable, and the wry humour of smoldering hero Oliver was great. Rauchy, pacey, atmospheric and deliciously naughty.Allie A. Burrow's For One Night Only is full of refreshing new takes, covers a lot of ground in a short time, and delivers a lovely twist at the end. Her writing is slick and assured, her imagery and themes are very original, and after reading this, travel on a train will never be the same again. (!!!!)Heat level: almost had to call the fire brigade (because of the heat, not just because I like firemen ;-)  ) I won this book in Allie A Burrow's competition, but I will definitely be buying the next Volume. Can't wait for that.
