Allergic to Love By Anna J. Evans Marcus Ashton is a werewolf searching for his one true mate. He's had his share of fantasies about the perfect woman, but none of them involved severe canine allergies or a colleague out to get him fired. Ella Bradley has had enough of controlling men and no amount of chemistry is going to change her mind, especially when she suspects the dangerously handsome Marcus of slipping libido-enhancing drugs into her cocoa. These two would-be lovers have less than twelve hours to clear up a major biological roadblock and a little human misunderstanding, or they may find themselves permanently allergic to love.

Sick of waiting for her to take him seriously, he sets up a night of pure romantic fantasy in the guise of a blind date. He knows what she wants and he plans to use the knowledge to his advantage. They belong together and he has one night to use every sensual weapon in his arsenal to prove it.

I picked these up looking to try some new to me authors / series to try out.
So far I have read:
Allergic to Love By Anna J. Evans 2 Stars
In all fairness I know these are short stories with out a lot of pages to build the characters or story line but jeez ...I have read a lot of fan fic that could have given me that story in less than 5 pages and done it better. Boring...Sex was Dull...No "Zing" between the two...The best thing I can say it that at least it didn't take long to read.
There are 6 short stories in this anthology, about 40 pages each. They're each different, but they have one thing in common, they're hot! Some were hotter than others, but all were enjoyable.
