This collection of Samantha Holt's Erotic Short Stories is fabulous!  I previously read her short story, Highland Knight, and loved it.  Now I get to read three more of her wonderful short stories.  These stories are the perfect length for a quick bedtime read or maybe while waiting in a doctor's office or at some other appointment.  So far I've only read One Knight and of course Highland Knight, but already I can tell you that this collection is a 5 star value...considering that you get all 4 short stories for $1.99 instead of paying $.99 each.  Highly recommend!One Knight is about a couple who are married, but each thinks the other does not like him/her.  Katerina and Guy have known each other for several years, and in all that time, Katerina has been convinced that Guy dislikes and does not approve of her.  She is puzzled as to why Guy asked for her hand in marriage.  The story beings at their wedding feast and progresses through their wedding night where Katerina learns a few truths, not only about Guy's feels for her, but also about her feelings for Guy.  This story was short and sweet.  Despite the fact that the events took place over an evening, I have to say that the HEA was believable due to the length of time the h and H knew each other.  I'd give this short story four stars.In Highland Knight the H and h are betrothed to each other by their fathers in order to forge peace between their two clans.  Because it is so short and everything occurs in a relatively short period of time (only a day), you have to suspend reality a bit in order to truly enjoy the romance.  However, this fact does not take away from the story's enjoyment.  Anna, the heroine, is not happy about being married off to a Sinclair.  Afterall the Sinclairs and McKenzies have been enemies for generations.  Niall, on the other hand, is resigned to his fate of wedding a McKenzie female.  They meet when Niall and his father go to the McKenzie home to finalize the betrothal contract.  The chemisty between the two is quite intense.  In a matter of a day they are having torrid sex and are in love with each other.  However if, like I said earlier, you are willing to suspend reality for a while the story is extremely enjoyable.  This short story was another satisfying read.  Four stars!In Black Knight the heroine, Katherine, is very much in love with her childhood friend, James, but unfortunately he is only interested in friendship.  She lives in fear of one day losing him in marriage to another.  Katherine has not found any other man in whom she has any interest and so at 21 she is still single....a rare occurrence for medieval times.  Katherine craves danger and excitement and one night she gets both in the form of a sexy stranger who accosts her in her darkened chamber.  But, Katherine gets quite a pleasant surprise once the lights are on!  A five star read!In White Knight the heroine, Sara, is fleeing an arranged marriage to a man she has never met.  Unfortunately, her middle of the night flight takes her right into the arms of her betrothed.  Christian, the hero, has known and loved Sara for five years.  His entire existence for that length of time has been to make himself worthy of her hand.  Unwilling to force Sara to marry him, he now has one night to convince her that they are meant to be together.  This is a truly sweet love story.  Christian's devotion to Sara is very touching.  This short story is another five star read!
