 Rating:  - A must readI loved these stories. Some of these stories were overly emotiomal for me. I also love that the proceeds go to a womens shelter. It is a group of stories that I felt most people can put themselves into at least one of the characters in each story. If you are a person who likwa reality based stories these are for you. They did not feel like the authors put too much drama to make the stories more imoressive, they just felt like this could happen anywhere. Rating:  - Just not worth it...I really enjoy most of the authors in this anthology. The book is for a very good cause. However, I found it very dissatisfying. It wasn't just the length of the stories (in a 305 page book of 12 stories, don't expect length) because all girls should know that size isn't the only thing that matters!

Just when I was coming to really get into a particular story it ended. I suppose that is what is to be expected but I wanted more from my some of my favorite contemporary authors (Foster, McCarthy & ...

When she meets him at the pool, all her dreams come true. Lori Foster proves yet again why she is such a great romance writer. "Sweet Dreams" is sexy and romantic and the chemistry between Cara and Jamison is intense. I love this story! "Unpredictable" by Erin McCarthy Hannah Godwin`s psychic ability is sometimes ... Read More Rating: - superb anthologyTwelve romance authors contributed to this superb anthology in which each donated their proceeds to the YWCA Battered Women's Shelter of Cincinnati. Besides the worthy cause, each entry is well written and inspiring; focusing on a second chance at love by females previously battered (mentally and or physically) in their relationships. Readers will root for the stars who hesitantly risk their souls for love. The tales run the gamut of the genre with my personal favorites being "Unpredictable" BY Erin ... Read More
