This collection of romances is a step above formulaic fluff, but still leaves a lot to be desired. The pros: interesting twists on standard plots. The cons: most of the heroines are angry women with immature emotional responses; it's picky, but every lead character is repeatedly described with a "smirk" - setting a juvenile tone in the stories; falling into bed and "love" in days without any true relationship development. Basically, I found it hard to relate to many of the main characters and there were a couple of "heroines" I actively disliked. My final problem was the lack of proofreading (or intentional misspellings). For instance, "gentile" instead of "gentle" and"lightening" rather than "lightning". Nor was attention paid to proper and consistent verb tenses. The author clearly needs to brush up on her grammar.
