I really liked this set a lot.  Almost all of the books were of a significant length, and I didn't feel cheated at all.  In fact, I would have paid more for this collection.  Kellison's Shadow Bound book was far superior to most of the paranormal books I've ever read-- so much so, in fact, that I bought everything she had in this series.  It took me on a wild ride and kept me on the edge to the end.  The main characters were phenomenally written and so believable that I felt like I knew them.  Kellison knows how to write action, and she knows how to build scorching tension.  I highly recommend her book in this.  The only book I absolutely did not like in the collection was Seduce by Felicity Heaton which read like poor fan fiction with a TSTL heroine and 2 dimensional hero, but it was the only book out of the six that I thought was a complete waste of time.  I was prepared for Ashley's Hard-mated to be much the same as Seduce in terms of silliness and bad writing, but I was pleasantly surprised.  It turned out to be my second favorite book (even with a hero named Spike).  It's well written and a fun read. I loved Mika's no nonsense character because she is a woman with a backbone. You'll find yourself rooting for the characters through the whole thing.  Don't ignore Roane's Embrace the Dark, either, if you're looking for a worthwhile heroine and an exquisitely tortured hero, look no further.  This one is good, too.  I paid 99 cents for this, but I would have paid several dollars more!
