One day she gave notice at her job on a Friday morning. On Sunday afternoon, she received a tentative acceptance for her first erotic romance novel and life would never be the same.

What. The. FUCK.
So many awful things.
Where do I even start?
Well first, I'm not here to yuck your yum. If you like these stories, I am glad you found something you like. However, I feel I need to warn most people away from this book.
Ummm...let's see. There are 4 stories. Every story used the same word to refer to a certain female excretion. It's so gross, I'm going to spoiler it. I got this "what the fuck gross" look on my face every time the word came up and they all used it. Am I missing something? Is this an acceptable word to y'all?
I did not particularly like the first story. Come to find out, it was BY FAR THE BEST STORY. The last one was so fucking disturbing. It had home invasion, drugging, and verging on mind control rape-y sex scene.
I finished the book and immediately told my book club to stop reading it. We will mulligan this month and hope for a better one next time.

These are re-releases stories from older anthologies - sure wish they'd make this clear when describing the book. I get it when they release the ebook and then eventually release it in an anthology - but something like this [or when they change the title/cover] really frosts me. It can't be a good business sense to tick off the customers...
The N.J. Walters story is from Overtime, Under Him. It's a good enough story, but as a person who is never fooled by costumes or masks [I identify people by voice and how they move] the whole concept about seducing her boss while costumed/masked and he'd NEVER know it was her... Nope. Doesn't work for me. Didn't work for him either.
"Sinderella" by Jan Springer is from Bad Girls Have More Fun. It's heavy handed and silly - the oppressed [by her wicked stepmother and stepsisters, surprise! surpise!] gynecologist dances around as an X-rated Cinderella to let out her inner vixen. Her Prince Charming is a fellow gynecologist from work and at one point they're doing it on the exam table... Just, ewwwww!
I liked Wolf in Cheap Clothing by Charlene Teglia, even though I read it in the Out of This World Lover some time ago. Although short, I thought this was the best of the lot. It had some cute, snarky dialogue as the heroine [who was turned into a werewolf via attack and is out hunting the rogue] meets the hero [local pack alpha also looking for the rogue]. She has no clue about anything shifter - except she goes furry once a month and she wants to get the guy who did it as he tends to leave bodies [those unable to change] in his wake. They meet, mate, and catch the rogue in about 40 pages... Talk about life on the fast track!
The Tawny Taylor story was offered in Naughty Nights. Pretty silly mishmash of erased memories, unknown worlds [complete with husbands and a job as The Goddess], kinky sex [LOTS of it], and women who all look like her. No wonder Michigan looked pretty good...

I confess. Anthologies usually start at a 3. It's up to the individual stories/authors to change that. Being that this is a theme anthology, one expects a bit of cheese. Being that it's an EC theme anthology, that's likely cream cheese...
:ahem
Tale the first isn't bad if you get past the TSTL of the heroine. I mean; she wants to get nailed by her hot boss (fair enough), and sets out to do so at the halloween masquerade party at his bar (well, ok), with the intent of leaving afterwards with her anonymity still intact (ummmm). She figures he'd never look at her otherwise so she gets tarted up (yeah?), shows up, catches his eye right off the bat (still with you), stays after closing for the "special party" of two with him (mmmhmmm?), and tries to leave. She's astounded when he asks her where she's going, and calls her by name. I mean really hon. How many nearly 6' statuesque redheads do you think he knows?
Tale the second...is a mixed up fairy tale. Ella Cinder is a living cliche. Her late father married a woman with two unattractive, rather bitchy daughters, promptly keeled over, and she has an office in the basement of their prestigious GYN hospital/office. She has the hots for the new Dr who is exceedingly hot for a OB/GYN. By nights, she has an adult production company that puts on a private showing of a decidedly mature Cinderella, named Sinderella. She's doing a show, Prince Charming fails to show, and Dr McHotty is in the audience. She puts forth the offer for him to act as a substitute. He's happy to follow through... and he also figures out who she is. Really hon, you talk to him daily. You don't think he'd recognize your voice?
Tale the third is actually pretty good - if you ignore that the h ends up mated to a total stranger without any knowledge of how that happened (or that it was even a possiblity). She's a werewolf, and not by choice. She's after the rogue who turned her, and assumes that the H is him. Fortunately for her, he isn't. He assumes at first that she's in with the rogue. She's not. They do conveniently find the rogue - or rather, his pack does - and he's taken out.
Tale the third...ehhhh that's a no for me. The h is kidnapped on halloween by a couple of weirdos. She wakes up naked and tied to a bed, listening to an argument about her, and well, the third weirdo is absolutely convinced she's his wife (I have no recollection of that event...). She...puts out? Well, not like she has a choice, being as how she's tied up, but she doesn't protest too hard. Later she finds out - from someone called the Wise One - that somehow she ended up in an alternate dimension thanks to him, has a zillion clones of her, also thanks to him (because he had the hots for her), and someone wants her dead, because for reasons never clarified, she killed the previous Goddess, and to protect her, she was sent back. Oh, and she is married apparently but her memories were wiped. A scant day(?) later a former boyfriend of hers tries to kill her, and she wakes up naked in her own bed. There's a knock at the door and the guy claiming to be her husband in the other dimension is there. I dunno. The whole thing leaves too many holes in the story itself (what, why, how, huh???), a h who caves way too readily to someone she has no memory of, and a lot of BDSM type sex without the h actually agreeing to any of it.
I think I need some whine with that cheese.

How disappointing! Nothing but porn, just crude smut.
4 stories, all something out of a 14 year old boy's fevered dreams. Disappointing!

I’m torn on what rating to give the book. I’ve decided on a 5 star overall but I’ll break down my review into four parts, one for each of the stories.
"Unmasking Kelly" gets 5/5 stars. I really enjoyed the characters in the story, it’s was short sweet and to the point. It was like getting a glimpse into the two characters’ lives. The author gives enough detail so I don’t feel like I was left hanging. It was hot and lots of fun. Perfect for this time of year.
"Sinderella" gets 4.5/5 stars. I enjoyed this story; it was much longer than the first and turned out to be the longest of the four. I loved seeing the characters develop even in this short story. It was hot and naughty. The only reason I dropped half a star was how the “ugly” step sisters were described right in the beginning. I get that they are the antagonist and we’re not suppose to like them but that could be done on their personality alone I didn’t like that the author made one obese and one literally anorexic it. I’m not a fan of body shamming in any way so that kind of irked me. The author telling us even before we see how awful they are by their personalities we’re told we should hate them based on their looks and I think that’s a bad message to send to one’s readers.
"Wolf In Cheap Clothing" gets 4.5/5 stars. I really liked the story; it was good but much, much too short. It had enough potential to probably have been an actual novel length story. In the least the author could have made it 100 pages instead of 40. I felt making it that short really limited things when the idea was so strong. I'm torn between 3 stars for too short and 4.5 stars for really enjoying it but I decided on 4.5. The characters were fun, exciting, and both the female and male were a bit sassy. I felt like I’d picked up in the middle of a story read a bit then stopped. I wanted more. I felt like this was just an excerpt from the middle.
"Stolen Goddess" gets 4.5/5 stars. I had the same issue with this story as the previous. I would have liked it to be much longer. Especially with more back history. The author tells us in about one page how the main female came to be who and what she was but I was intrigued but that plot point and think making that part longer and adding to the back story would have really elevated the story overall. I wasn't sure I was going to like it but really did enjoy it. I could connect with the characters. Good idea, good plot, good characters so just make it a novel.
I guess overall I liked them, I wished two would have been longer, I get they are short stories and the first two were great examples of good short stories, the latter two I really felt should have been written differently for a short story or just extended and turned into novels.

If you keep a few things in mind, then this can be quite an enjoyable book.
1.) This book is SHORT stories, snippets of the characters' lives, and not meant to be detailed.
2.) It is an anthology of erotic stories, all loosely based around disguising oneself NOT specifically for Halloween.
3.) This is a 'fluff' read. It is not meant to make you think, create a dialogue, or address some issue. Rather it is to entertain, amuse, and titillate.
Keeping these 3 things in mind, it is a book that is wonderful for a little reading before bed. I won't bore you with more synopses as many others have done a great job (as well as the back of the book). I will say each story approaches the "disguise" differently as well as the romance. You have the coworker with a crush, the secret identity, the covert mission, and the futuristic damsel in distress. Each author weaves an interesting, if no fully fleshed out, story in their genre and gives you a wonderful glimpse into a unique world. As is expected, I liked some stories better than others.

Great stories for the Trick-or-treat reader. Fun lil stories of dressing up and getting that "treat" you've been wanting.
Some stories are better than others but you have a couple to choose from in this book.
