I'll give a basic recap of my feelings on the stories. In general, the stories that leaned towards urban fantasy made more of an impression on me, because the focus was on the plot and the worldbuilding. I either ended up feeling like the couples had some hot chemistry, but not really buying the true love, or wanting more because things ended too quickly. It's kind of hard to do that in a very short story, especially the ones that are supposed to be very steamy. I love the tension and the emotion of seeing a couple meet, fall in love, and decide they want to spend their lives together. Overall, I would say I'm leaning towards being mildly disappointed with this anthology, but it's really for the reasons of what appeals to me. Some authors did a better job than others of engaging me. The only thing that broke the monotony were the paranormal elements, and seeing how each author created a story out of that starting point. I get it now! It gets pretty dull to read sex scene after sex scene. This is probably one of the first bigger romance ones I've read. Well, I tend to read fantasy and horror anthologies for the most part. I love reading anthologies, so I never really got why a lot of romance readers don't care much for anthologies.
