Of the three stories in this anthology, I actually only enjoyed Vixen, the middle story.The first story, The Blushing Bounder, was so confusing at first, that I put it aside (figuratively, since this was a Kindle edition) and moved on to read other things I found more interesting.  After a few weeks, the fact that I had not finished this one began to irk me, so I made myself read it.  Not my cup of tea.  This was the first steampunk story I'd ever read, and apparently, I'm not a fan.Vixen was a cute little romp, with wonderful sexual tension, a realistic mother/daughter relationship, and good characterization.  It had a leg up on the others, because I already read and enjoy shifter fiction.  I would enjoy reading more about these four characters and their continuing lives.Kitten-tiger and the Monk was least enjoyable.  I understood the dystopian world in which the story was set, but I just didn't give a rip about the characters, not even when they were in mortal danger.All three stories were well-written, just two of them not all that appealing this to particular audience.
