Fluffy bit of fluffy that is easy to put down and come back to whenever you feel like it. As mentioned, this is NOT an anthology but interconnected stories basically taking place during a house party. Now I was all ready to give this three stars until the last story. So I must agree that about 2/3 of the book is fun while the last third is just annoying when it actually should have been the capper.

I actually forgot that there where three different writers until the final story since the stories were flowing for me. What totally threw me off is the heroine of the last third who reminded me of what I consider one of the most annoying heroines I've read recently - the horrid Poppy from James' An Affair Before Christmas. Just like in that book, I really wanted the hero to decide 'You know what? You're right. You are not the one for me. See ya.' Is this worth reading? Ehhhh. I'd rec waiting for the discount bin or borrowing it if you must.

I have a general question. Is it so hard to have a widow who had a healthy, loving, sexual relationship with the late husband? Would that really detract so much from the new hero? Must all widows be secret virgins or apparently frigid in their previous marriage? Who is more hung up on THE ONE and ONLY? The readers, the writers or the editors?

I guess I'm rather bitter that the last story ruined my bit of fluff. It's like getting to the center of the lollipop only to find it's made of ear wax.
