It seems that I am leaning towards short stories now, though I have no idea why.
There are 8 stories inside this book. And I have already read one that made me fall in love with the author. The characters and the plot are way too cute! I won't be giving you the summary of all the stories because that would just be insane. Instead, I would choose a few to tell you.
First off is For the Love of Wendy. I had been surprised when I read this because I didn't know what type of book I'd picked up from th...more

3.75/4
I've only ever read Lori Foster in short story form and to date I've been satisfied with all of them. I'll eventually get to her full length books but alas there are simply too many books to savor and only one of lil' ol' me. These last three short story anthologies Tails of Love - the stories feature animals and romantic love and The Power of Love) have all been compiled and edited by Ms. Foster and the proceeds have gone to worthy charitable organizations serving the Greater Cincinnati (...more

I picked this up from the new books shelf at the library because I had decided to read some short stories this year and the description on the back of the book sounded like this would be an interesting look at different types of love with family relationships.
It turned out to be more like the equivalent of eight mini romance novels that had nothing to do with the grandiose promises made by the description. The only story I liked was “The Wolf Watcher’s Diet” by Paige Cuccaro; perhaps somewhat co...more

3.5*
As far as a collection of short stories goes, this was pretty good. There were 8 stories and each were very fast reads. I liked some better than others. In the end I would like to say which was my favorite but in actuality none really stuck with me so I don't have one. I can see this book as a good pool side or beach read because the cover isn't revealing and the stories can each be read in about an hour.

Book of short stories I picked up for the Lori Foster story. I've hear that a few other stories are good so I may read them later.
For the Love of Wendy - Lori Foster - 2 stars
Very short, kind of cute but not really my cup of tea.

Not a promising one as mentioned in the book description. Too much romance in all stories except of one story, 'Wolf watcher's diet' which turned to be ok. So its not of my type of stories........
Really liked the stories by Ann Christopher, Paige Cuccaro, Gia Dawn and Helenkay Dimon.

This is a wonderful collection of stories of different kinds of romantic love and different kinds of families. There's a quadriplegic, learning disabilities, stepkids, half-siblings, why-didn't-you-tell-me-I'm-a-daddy, recovering addict, etc. They are all good.
Another for the keeper shelf.
