I don’t get the chance to do a whole lot of reading these days so imagine my delight at being asked to review this anthology! It’s a nice thick book, but with four different authors, it gives me a great chance to read it in chunks. That being said, I flew through this book. Each story stands alone and yet the way they tied together was wonderful. I will confess that the story of the dog tags didn’t have a super “hyped up” ending, but still the stories of the women was really what drew me in. Well worth a read if you like romance, anthologies or just a story to make you smile.<\/p>\n
