I have been reading a ton more anthologies than I have in the past! I haven’t read a standalone book from any of these authors, but after this I certainly will. I find that when I read anthologies there is usually one or sometimes two stories that stand out. In this book the stand out story was definitely Driftwood by Mary Janice Davidson. Picture me parked in the school parking lot waiting to pick up my kids, and snorting loudly with laughter. Weird Ohio weather made it possible to roll the car

I bought this for my local book group. I've always been a fan of werewolf stories and was hoping this book wouldn't bore me to death like so many of the romances I've recently read.
The first story is by Angela Knight. When a female werewolf in heat runs away from an arranged marriage to a brutish alpha wolf, she lands pretty much on top of a police officer who just happens to be a werewolf himself. Imagine the odds of that? She needs a baby in order to maintain her independence fr More...

- Moon Dance by Angela Knight
Lucas Rolling of the Harrisville Police Department had been bitten. Now that he was a Direkind (werewolf) his size and strength showed him to be an alpha type. An alpha was what Elena Livingston needed if she wanted out of the marriage her aging father had just arranged for her.
**** Book 3.5 ….. Really enjoyed Lucas and Elena in this story. A few different approaches to were-lore making this a story that I would like to see more of. The magic of Merl More...

My rating only goes to Sunny's story.
I must say that I'm really enjoying this series, which I can't believe because it did not sound as any of my usual readings. But this new world of the children of the moon has got my hooked.Although I hope the next book in the series is better. Let's see.
I need some more Story development and not so much "bedroom action". LOL.

Four short stories by different authors. All with hot supernatural men-types in them. Yum! I'm only in the second story but I'm already giving the book 4 stars... sexy reading.

OK now that I'm done reading the book...
Story 1:
'Moon Dance' - by Angela Knight
One word: corny. The love scenes were good but the rest of the plot was hazy. I felt like I started in the middle of a story with no background on the context. I won't bother reading anything else by More...

Like most anthologies, you get hits and misses, and Over the Moon was a mixed bag and no exception. I grabbed this one because it contains the second book in author Sunny's Monere Children of the Moon series, and I was happy to read something by the other three new to me authors who I've heard of previously.

This is #7 in the author's Mageverse series, but I had no difficulty following it and didn't feel as though I was missing big chunks of infor More...

There are four stories in this book. They are:
1. Moon Dance by Angela Knight (Mageverse, #7)
2. Between the Mountain and the Moon by Virginia Kantra
3. Driftwood by MaryJanice Davidson
4. Mona Lisa Three by Sunny
One day, I'll get around to reading this book... ;-)

This review is only for the Angela Knight story in this anthology titled Moon Dance. It's part of the Mageverse series, which I'm reading for the second (in some cases third) time. The story of Lucas and Elena is short and hot as needed for an anthology, but that creates a few problems. Once again, Angela Knight has her characters making an emotional plunge into a serious lifelong commitment out of necessity rather than desire. They've known each other less than a full day when it happens, which

Four novellas by well-known PNR authors:
1. Angela Knight: Moon Dance Revisit the Mageverse world=this story focuses on Direkind on Earth, and we learn more about its history, and of course, enjoy a hot romance.
2. Virginia Kantra: Between the Mountain and the Moon Meet the Sidhe in North America: This is a bit different from her Children of the Sea series, but it continues another short story she wrote. In this, some rather unusual things happen on a hiking trip, and Cait learns More...

Angela Knight's story was great! I loved it. 5 stars. her werewolves are the best! I'm not sure I understand the rules to her Mageverse, though. The one in Shifter was sci-fi future-y. One was fae and dragons. This was present-day. A female blue-blood of the direwolf Chosen is used by her father to secure power in their council. He plans to marry her off to the cruel stephen, but she runs after he tries to rape her, and she enlists Lucas' help...a Bitten cop. They have great sex, beat t

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book.
I've never read anything by Angela Knight before, but I really liked her story MOON DANCE. I was intrigued by her Direwolfs and the world they live in, and plan to look up more of her books.
BETWEEN THE MOUNTAIN AND THE MOON, by Virginia Kantra, was an interesting story, but didn't appeal to me simply because of my preconceived notions of the sidhe world. In this story they seem evil, and that threw me off, but the More...

All parts of a series (somewhat), and not bad at all!
Now, let's face it, there hasn't been a story by Angela Knight that I didn't like. This one was alright. Not the best that I've read but not the worst. I wish there'd been a little more to it. The couple came together way too fast, way too easy. Both knew what they wanted in life. The sex scenes and action scenes were well played out. Not bad at all!
The next was Virginia Kantra. While the name strikes me familiar, I c More...

Still not a fan of short stories but I liked Davidson's contribution as the story seemed more 'fleshed out' than the other stories in the book. It helps that I have read Davidson's Undead series and her other contributions to the world that the series takes place in.

Angela Knight's story worked best for me; it earned a straight B. MJD's story was next - it earned a B-. Virginia Kantra's earns a C and Sunny, whose entry is not dark fantasy erotic romance but instead dark fantasy erotica, earned a D-. I found it derivative of LKH's Merry Gentry series

This was a fun little anthology. I especially loved Virginia Kantra’s beautiful portrayal of the faery kingdom and MaryJanice Davidson’s hilarious were-vamp match. Fun read, but be prepared for a huge cross-section of styles!

I enjoy anthologies as they almost always help me discover a previously unknown author whose work impresses me enough to look out for more works him or her. This was the case with "Between the Mountain and the Moon" by Virginia Kantra, a story of overlapping fae/human worlds and what happens when a hiker goes astray on mountain trail. And "Driftwood" by MaryJanice Davidson was pleasant, especially since this is the first piece I've read by her. Angela Knight's werewolf bit

Angela Knight's Moon Dance is #6 in her Mageverse series which I very much enjoy.
I very much enjoy Sunny's Monere series as well...this one's #2 (in spite of the title!), Mona Lisa Three.

Heartwarming story about a couple who goes to South America to adopt a baby girl. The book describes the process that have to go through and the joy of parenting.

Only read Moon Dance by Angela Knight so far but it was very good. Looking forward to the other stories.
Just finished Mona Lisa Three. It was good but it seemed like it was part of a series and I didn't know what happened in the other books.

Very good read. Nice to read different authors and see if I would like to read any further books of theirs.

not a bad little story, but to be fair I only read the one by Mary Janice Davidson

Still a little slow but I hear they get better so I am sticking with them for the moment.

Angela Knight's "Moon Dance" was my favorite. I skipped over Mary Janice Davidson's "Driftwood".

Loved Moon Dance, fun sweet read! Between the Mountain and the Moon was good but a bit confusing, so I know now that I have to read the prequel to that one. Skipped over the MJD story as it looked like I might be confused by her note at the beginning, and stared the Sunny story as she is new. Couldn't get into it. The charachters did not seem real enough to me, not enough explaination of who Mona Lisa is...and the first sex scene...EEEK! TMI for me...a bit too raunchy for my taste...I may t
