2.5 stars.

There were three stories and I didn't love any of them. The first one was just odd - really psychologically messed up characters who found comfort in each other, but the "resolution" at the end was just that they ended up together but didn't solve any of their issues. Just weird.

Second story was Sydney Croft, the ACRO 2.5, and the whole reason I got the book. It was okay, but nothing as good as her other books. I think she should stick to novels, not novellas. This didn't include any of the other characters from the story or advance ACRO's story at all, so I just felt like it wasn't part of the series.

The last story was okay - just lukewarm with the characters. I just didn't feel much for them at all, especially compared to some other fun anthologies.

The sex in these was okay - but not as steamy as others. All in all, I'd pass it for some others. Reading Croft's later ACRO series will show if this is important to read in the series, but I'd guess no?
