Date with a Devil

This is a very interesting story, it really makes you think. Plus, I do love the way it was written. Its not the story you think it is.. check it out.

I picked this up because of Anne Stuart and SO GLAD I DID. This is a more romantic, whimsical side of Stuart the Queen of the Bad Boys. Those this bad boy is centuries bad, he has become rather jaded and it takes a trip to earth to make him care. It's Stuart as we BEST. This story alone is the price of the book!I have not ready Cherry Adair, but shall after reading this story. This blind date was such a fun read. I really lover her characters and the whole story was such fun, so sexy. Off to buy her back list!The last story by Jensen is good, but not in the league with these first two. First off, the premise is blind dates. Her story is NOT a blind date. The premise is contrives, but I went with that. But it's not a date, they go in an plane write to keep her out of the way. She thinks she is on a trip to pick up special linens. Why have them in a plane? Why have the go pick up linens. The premise is so thin. Secondly, the attraction between the leads had promise, but it's such not developed correctly. Jensen is a talented writer and the story is good, but not great like the first two and hurt by it not fitting the premise of a blind date.Jensen's a 4 start, I give it a 5 because of the strength of Stuart's and Adair's brilliance.

OH>>>>I love Gideon. I am fan of Stuart and love Into the Fire, Ritual Sins and I just finished Moonrise (WOW!), but Gideon is a more world weary soul. The same old rogue male, but slightly tired of existence especially if it means hurting a gentle, young woman. SIGH...my heart belongs to Gideon.<p>Adair is one steaming blind date. Mom from hell sets up daughter with her ex-lover, the man she has been trying to forget about. It's red shoes sexy, and of so romance. If I cannot have Gideon, I will happily settle for Jack.<p>Third one by Jensen? HUN? it's not a blind date story at all.<br>And undercover cop and his boss who is unaware he is a cop crash land in his small plane. That is NOT a date and there was NOTHING Blind about it. She knew she was going up with him, so how they picked this tale to go with the other two puzzles me. It's very well written, through is hurt by being with the amazing Stuart and Adair.<p>For anthology, this is one of the best! Stuart and Adair are just heart stealer!

The first two stories by Anne Stuart and Cherry Adair were fantastic. They both did a great job of painting a rich picture of love and passion, which is difficult to do in a short story. This is also where the third story fell short; the passion barely reached luke warm and the love popped out of nowhere and wasn't believeable at all. I still gave the book 5 stars because the first two stories were so darn good! And that is rare for an anthology!

I read a lot of this writer's books and have enjoyed each of them. Adair (Stuart) and (Jensen) are 3 terrific writers who the reader can count on to deliver time and again.
