Before starting my review I have to admit that the novella/short story is not my favourite literary form but occasionally (as is the case here) I read anthologies in order to find authors that are new to me. Of the four the only one I had previously read (and very much enjoyed) was C.J. Ellison.I thoroughly enjoyed "Kissed by a Vampire". I found it to be a sweet and amusing story with a very satisfying HEA. I shall certainly be reading more of Patricia A. Wolf as I like her writing style...I loved her light touch and tongue in cheek humour.Story two, "Loving Ms Wrong" featured an old friend as the hero - Marcus from the "Vanilla" series. A tale of "opposites attract" and finding love in unexpected places. I laughed (and occasionally sniffled) my way through this one...it was a joy to read!And here we come to a stop....I'm finding story three "The Beckoning of Beguiling Things" by Calinda B. very difficult to get into....I'm up to Chapter 10 but still don't know where the story is going ...it jumps from character to character without us knowing who some of them are...sigh.This could well be a failing on my part (and to do with my current frame of mind) and not the fault of the author...so...I shall take a break and come back to the story and will review it and story four in another post.
