Romantic Interludes 2: Secrets [Paperback]

23 stories from different authors - each story I read gave more more incentive to read the author's novels. I love it when they use the short story format to revisit a character in a novel.

A really neat thing is that in front of each story is a brief profile of the author.

Radclyffe writing as LL Rand brings us the last story, a delightfully written werewolf tale set in the Adirondacks.

'The Lies That Bind' by Lea Santos, what can I say but that my mouth dropped open in horror for Esme Jaramillo about two pages in and I hung on every word until the end.

Kim Baldwin's 'Meeting My Match' showcases a unique "finders fee" for an extremely successful dating service.

'Finding Grace' by Lisa Girolami is set in Paris and OH MY! Saying more would spoil the story.

KI Thompson's 'Constant Companion' is the dearest romance.

'Tenebrosidad' by Nell Stark & Trinity Tam takes place 100 years before their new novel 'everafter'.

VK Powell's 'Return to Me' resolves the question how do let your BFF of 23 years know that she is the one?

'Privileged & Confidential' by Carsen Taite is an interesting portrait of two couples at opposite ends of the marriage spectrum.

Ali Vali's story 'Hooked on Quack' answers the age old question 'what do you do when you are a political consultant and you are attracted to the bosses' daughter?', go duck hunting of course,

'The Twelfth Rose' is a very sweet office romance by Lesley Davis.

Leslea Newman's playful story of a forty-two year old firefighter by the name of Zoey B. Jackson was whimsical and sexy.

'Madame Broussard' by Austin and Andrews is a frothy set today in New Orleans but almost reads like a gothic romance.

And eleven more stories just as diverse.
