She just needed to start somewhere.” and disrobes, and offers herself… and though he is terrified he was going mess it up and push Rachel and Riley away, the only people he considered family… he can’t resist her… Midnight Rendezvous by Jamie DentonNew Orleans – Garden District – house, with garage apartment overlooking the swimming pool… Burnett Dupree – playwright; slid into drinking and whoring… and no hit in 2 years… taking his life back, celibate and alcohol free, in new Orleans… a quiet garage apartment with a landlord he had not met… and Maya Pomeroy – ex-model, survival of car accident, but scarred and in pain… started POE-tential, on-line sales of her workout gear for women, and lingerie… she takes daily, midnight, skinnydipping swims – to work out the pains, and kinks, etc. And she is his muse… he shifts his writing to nights… and stops at midnight, to watch her from his window… until, one night she notices him… And he goes to her the next day… and blusters his way into her life… not put off by her scars, seeing her beauty and grace… ahhhhDime Store Cowboy by Kate DouglasBetsy Mae Twigg – ex-barrel horseback rodeo champion; went back to her good looking, abusive rodeo champ ex-husband; and when he hits her again, she returns home to the dude ranch she and her brother own… and her brother leaves (with his pregnant wife) for a mini vacation, leaving the ranch, and returning client Mark Connor to run it for the week… Mike Connor – ex-agent, gives up his job and sells his condo in New York and moves to Texas – and ends up back on the Double Eagle dude ranch (his temporary home with his book agent client is overrun with sick children); And he and Betsy works well together… and fall In love…Life in the Past Lane by Kathy LoveRocco Vincente, newspaper report with a column about living in the fast lane, sent to go back home to his small town, Beals Point… where he lived 2 years in a foster care home; and he finds that the past is not quite as he remembered it (the foster mother, who still fosters, who understood him better than he knew, who introduces him to a new foster boy who is angry and lost)… including Franny Arsenult - who carried a crush on him in high school, and traced him since… and they connect, and he finds a peace he never had before… I'm a big fan of anthologies. I enjoy getting a good story, but not have to sit down and read for hours. With an anthology you can read one short story and go about what you need to do. Sometimes you end up like ones more then others but that too, is okay. This time I would have to say I enjoyed all the stories. My favorite was Foster's. I don't think that woman could write something that I didn't like. My least favorite is Denton's. It wasn't that her story was bad, it was just that I didn't like it as much as the others. If you want a book for the beach or when your on vacation then this is great for those times. You don't feel like you can't finish a story if you want to do something with the family.
