Review: Very Different Stories all rolled into one book
Rating: 3 out of 5

It's very hard to write something for this book because of the huge differences in how I feel for each story. The first, Play with Me by Lisa Renee Jones, I loved! The interaction and play between Damion and Kali was fun as well as sexy. It was nice to have a strong female character who could hold her own with an exciting Alpha male. They both had issues that they dealt with but it was nice that they were dealt with and they moved on to more exciting things! I would give it a 5 star rating without hesitation. The second, Snowfall by Mary Ann Rivers, I did not like at all. This story alone is what brought my rating down to a 3. It felt disjointed and was difficult to read. I felt the characters, could understand their struggles but it was very blah. I think what dragged it down was all the technical writing. It felt more like a manual during some points than it did a romance. The romance was there in the end but it was hard to get to that end. The third story, After Midnight by Serena Bell, was really good. I would have given it a 4. I enjoyed the characters and the serendipity of the whole experience. I loved the growth of both of the characters. They met in a chance encounter at a very dark time in both of their lives and it took them finding each other before they were realized they needed to move on so that they could be complete. I really enjoyed watching them go from two damaged people to two healing people.
