I have long thought Anne Stuart's "Dangerous Lover" is just about perfect as an erotic Valentine fantasy tale. I reread it from time to time and it retains its charm. Warning: don't expect logic or reality. That's not what this is about.
Very nice touch!

Anne Stuart is an unique author! She makes any plot feasible and realistic. Ms. Carrol's story is good also. And, I've liked Ms. Thompson in this story as well as others. However, the only one worth rereading is Ms. Stuarts.
Vicki Lewis Thompson, ya done good!

Good Afternoon! I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed most of this book. I was especially pleased with the story by Vicki Lewis Thompson "Once Upon a Mattress". I have read that story several times and I get a kick out of it each time. I just ordered more of her books because of this one. I also enjoyed Dangerous Lover by Anne Stuart to a certain extent. The first two thirds I liked but the rest of it didn't do anything for me, but I have read other books of hers I liked.The last story, Special Deliveries by Marisa Carroll was a good read. It was a sweet story and I will look for other books by this author.All in all, I liked this book very much and I am glad I bought it. Because of it, I am now a Vicki Lewis Thompson fan. Thanks for the entertainment!
Wonderful Anthology!

This book is charming, and the four star rating is mainly due to Anne Stuart's story, which is a keeper for me. Imagine a bored lawyer sending gifts anonymously to sexy French neighbour who turns out to be an ex-spy who is paranoid about being stalked by his former enemies. Guess who becomes the prime suspect in his eyes? This novella is funny, and Anne Stuart manages to pull the story off without making both characters look stupid. The other stories are more run-of-the-mill types, pleasant enough. But I do recommend Anne Stuart's story. It's funny. It's sexy. It's great.
