A copy of Melt My Heart was provided by author Holley Trent in exchange for an honest review.This is an exceptionally entertaining and fun Valentine's Day anthology. Containing four short stories, Melt My Heart showcases love at it's lighthearted best, and is the perfect selection for any romance reader who is looking to get into the holiday spirit.I enjoyed, and can equally recommend, all the stories in this well written anthology.Because my copy was provided by Holley Trent, I will be focusing the following portion of my review on her short story, A Demoness Matched.Nobody ever promised that the life of a demon spawn was an easy one. In fact, it was never even implied.... but when you grew up in a cult in the Arizona desert, dear old dad want's to mark you as a succubus to further his political alliances in hell, and your 215 year old half-demon half-brothers dump you on the front porch of the man who is supposed to be your life mate; only to discover that he's an extremely pissed of werewolf? For Julia Tate, life couldn't get much more complicated, but Calvin Wolff is just about the sexiest man she's ever seen, and as his grumpy personality begins to fade, she starts to think that maybe, her brothers weren't as wrong about him as she first thought.An exceptionally well written short story; A Demoness Matched contains references to character's found in Trent's book A Demon in Waiting but is a stand alone paranormal romance that can be read on it's own and does not have a cliff hanger ending.It lacks the steamy sexual encounters that are often so characteristic of this author, which will appeal to a broader reading base, but that doesn't detract in any way from the humorous writing, engagingly spunky characters, or quality story line that I've come to depend on finding in all of Holley Trent's books.This entire anthology is sure to be a hit!
