4-4.5 "TOTALLY WORTH IT" STARSI've had this anthology on my wish list for a while and was waiting for it to go on sale but got impatient. I was happy to see it was lendable and was able to borrow it instead of having to keep waiting for it to go on sale. This anthology had a few of my "must read" authors and that fact that all of them are together in one collection is awesome!I haven't read all of the stories but here are some brief thoughts on what I have readSinful Surrender by Elizabeth NaughtonI've read Elizabeth Naughton before and enjoyed what I read but I have to admit, she wasn't a "must read" for me. However, out of the stories I've read in this collection, Sinful Surrender is my favorite. Naughton really nails it. The characters have great chemisty and I was smiling throughout the story. The story isn't over the top steamy compared to some books I read but I thought it was pretty sexy and the sexy was well done =) I'm looking forward to reading her new romantic suspense series coming out in July, the first book will be Extreme Measures. I consider this to be an intro to that series.Sinful Secrets by Cynthia EdenNow Cynthia Eden is a "must read" for me and while I liked the story, it was my least favorite of the collection. Fans of her "MINE" series will recognize the over the top alpha hero. And Eden even mentions Drake and his casino. I don't know why I didn't like this more. I just thought overall there was too much going on. I still liked it, just didn't love it.Sinful Seduction by Katie ReusI like the Red Stone Security series. Some stories I've liked more than others but as a whole, the series works for me. I think Sinful Seduction was one of my favorites in the Red Stone series (out of the books I've read). It wasn't really the sexiest or the steamiest but the characters worked for me and overall I enjoyed the story.Sinful Deception by Joan SwanI'm a big Joan Swan fan. She just never disappoints. As a big fan, I was surprised that I hadn't read anything in this series before (especially because I own Wicked First which has another story in this series in it!) I really enjoyed Sinful Deception, thought the characters had great chemistry and immediately went back to read the other books in this series.For romantic suspense fans, I think this is one of the best anthologies out there. All the stories are from great writers and the ones I've read are all quality stories that stand on their own. I was able to borrow this collection but would have been happy if I paid for it as well. One of my favorite collections so far. I own Wicked First (the first anthology released by this same group of authors) but only read a couple of the stories from that collection when I purchased it. I'm definitely going back to check out the others
