I read this of course for Maryjanice Davidson and ended up liking the whole book. It took me awhile to admit to myself that I like romance novels. I read this one when I was still heavy in denial. With it's pink cover, cutesy cherub and being about all things Valentines day. I was certain I would not like this. But I wanted to read more of Davidson's work... so I figured if it's crap 4 pages in I won't bother with it or the other stories. Well I was surprisingly wrong and well into my way of re...more
I only read the first and third story. A 'No Drama' Valentine's was just a bit too odd for my liking, so I only read a few pages of that.
There wasn't anything unique about the two stories I read; just a bit of light reading, and didn't leave me wanting more.

I liked the first & last story - good light reading. I didn't care for A "No Drama" Valentine's - the writing doesn't flow very well - the accents in speech is fine but when it's thrown into the thought/actions - weird. I didn't even finish it.
I liked two out of three of the stories. Cuff and Coffee Breaks was good as well as Valentine Survivor. A "No Drama" Valentine's story just wasn't for me. Kind of different and just not what I enjoy. Of course, to each his own.
Susanna Carr's Valentine Survivor was okay.
I liked Leslie Esdalle's A "No Drama" Valentine's.

I really liked Davidson's contribution to the book but didn't really care for other stories.

I bought this book because of Mary Janice Davidson. I enjoyed her story, but that was only one third of the book. I usually like trying new authors, but I struggled to finish this book. I dont think I will try any more of their stories.

Meh. Typical romance formulae. Not admirable characters doing ridiculous things for sex. Not enough humor or adventure to make it much fun, either.
Murder, betrayal... deception... all the things a single girl need on Valentine's Day... lol
