I wanted to like this but couldn't.
1) This collection was trying to be all things to all possible readers of this book. Make the romance readers happy! Make the horror readers happy! Make the urban fantasy readers happy! That much happiness got spread thin. I wish it had gone with "make romance readers happy" and left it at that.

Full Disclosure: I have a story in this book.
I like themed anthologies. It's partially because I'm a fan of short stories in general. Even more than that, I like to see how different authors can take a basic idea and do all sorts of fun and unexpected things with it.
On that front, Hungry for Your Love fits the bill. This is an e-anthology published by Ravenous Romance that starts with a twist: Forget vampires - what about zombie romance?

Best Zombie Romance Anthology EVER!
It will probably come as no surprise to learn that this is the ONLY zombie romance anthology ever.
Lori Perkins' Introduction is a must read explanation for how this seemingly insane project ever came to be; as you no doubt expected, some daring, even some "double dog daring" was involved.

I wanted to like this. Really I did. I love zombies. I love erotica. And I've met the editor so I had high hopes but ultimately I was disappointed. Most of the stories read like bad Harlequin romances or like smutty sex and zombies were just thrown together to qualify for the anthology. Of course, whether or not someone likes a work of fiction is subjective and I realize that so keeping that in mind...

Arvostelussa ei ole käytetty yhtään hirsipuuhuumoria... hups. Zombiet ja rakkaustarinat eivät yleensä sovi samaan lauseeseen, joten novellikokoelma oli pakko hankkia jo ennakkotilauksena. Muistissa on kuitenkin Nummelinin toimittama Tuhansien zombien maa, jossa elävät kuolleet rakastivat ja surivat useammassakin tarinassa.
En tiedä, pitäisikö tätä kokoelmaa kutsua "monimuotoiseksi" vai "yhteismitattomaksi". Samaan kirjaan on ympätty niin maailman todennäköisesti ensimmäinen zo More...

If there is every a zombie apocolypse it wil be just like LAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH.
Don't let the title fool you, this is not just any coming-of-age, stoner story. FAST TIMES has it all: evil flesh and brain eating zombies, sexy cheerleaders, mouth-watering English teacher, and a hero geek ready to save the day!

The stories range from silly and cute to erotic and weird to are you kidding me? Because there are so many stories I'd have to review in order to get the full on idea, I'd like to just point out some of my favorites. And not review them. I do a horrible job at reviewing things like this. I'm complaining. Perhaps for filler.

"Hungry for Your Love: An Anthology of Zombie Romance" wasn't really my cup of tea. I usually like my zed novels with more action and less romance. There were a few stories that were outstanding and are why I gave it a 3/5 instead of a 1/5. Regina Riley's 'Undying Love' was my favorite story. I am a fan of Urban Fantasy and Ms. Riley left me wanting more. I enjoyed Brian Keene's 'Captive Hearts. Nothing like a little fun revenge with a side of zombies. And the haunting 'Later'

I guess I didn't give this more stars, because I expected something more out of this awesome concept. Romance and zombies sounds like fun, sounds like one might want to get creative, let the imagination roam a bit, something...However, I feel like a lot of authors in this book just sorta offered up smut, smut with zombies. Kinda felt like a cheap cop out. Romance as such barely makes an appearance, oddly in male author written stories. Maybe it says something about women and genre fiction, maybe

All in all, a very good collection of zombie stories. Like all anthologies, some were much better than others. Certain stories and authors definitely deserve second looks,namely: R.G. Hart, Regina Riley (reminiscent of Kim Harrison, to me at least), Brian Keene, Lois H. Gresh, Steven Saus, Kilt Kilpatrick, Jeanine McAdam, and Gina McQueen (rumored to be zombie master John Skipp in drag!).

I'm not going to lie, I have NO expectations for this book except to laught till I choke. Really?! I could not pass this up for $5, I love zombies and romance, but together spells disaster. Can't Wait!!

all told, this is pretty good anthology. Some of the stories clunk a bit, but not so much as to detract from the overall enjoyment of the book. Brian Keene's story stands out as one of the more disturbing, though the others don't shy away from a bit of gore and offense.

This book was really dirty and I had to keep myself from blushing while reading it. Definitely does a good job of parodying romance novels, though, and there were some really good stories in here. Still, though, not for the faint of heart or those who get embarrassed easily!!

This is the best anthology I have ever edited (I think I've done a dozen now). You have got to get this for the variety of the stories. It's amazing how fluid the zombie mythos is.

If you ever thought that zombies and romance didn't mix, this book will prove you wrong. An outstanding collection of stories that just made me hungry for more!

ZOMBIE ROMANCE?
Yes.
Zombie Romance!
It was really good. I thought. Not your grandma/auntie kind of romance books. That's for sure.

This is an interesting and sometimes disturbing collection of zombie tales. Some stories were interesting, some were downright moronic (Coldwell, I'm looking at you), and hidden in between were gems that made me want to know more.
Overall, I liked it. But it fell into the same trap that most anthologies do...it let a few train wrecks in to fill the pages, and ended up bringing the enjoyment down a few notches.

Like with most anthologies you have an interesting mix. Some of these stories made me laugh, some were blah, and a couple really grossed me out, one not in a gross zombie way, just inappropriate relationship way.
If you are a fan of zombies and love stories check this one out.

As much as I wanted to, I really couldn't get into the majority of this book. I read a few stories that were okay, and tried to start the rest but just couldn't get myself to finish them. Unfortunately this book went back to the library largely unfinished.

I picked this up mainly to read Jaime Saare's story, which I enjoyed. My rating is based on that story. I'm sure zombie fans will enjoy this anthology.
