My favorite story in this book is either "Dreamstitching" by Kristin Schwengel or "Sunrise" by Michelle West. "Mushroom Tea" was rather quirky and had a cute ending. There is quite a range in styles of storywriting in here, but they all have a otherworldly romances in common.
Though fantasy and romance have their own devoted followings, the two have often been intertwined in tales that are richly satisfying to both readerships...from a seemingly hopeless romance between a mortal and a vampire...to a modern retelling of an ancient Gaelic myth in which a man falls in love with a bespelled woman is ugly but brilliant, cahrming and good-natured during the day and beautiful and shrewish during the night...to an intricate tale of ghost-crossed love...to a guardian angel who becomes far too involved in a mortals' romance...Denise Little has brought together wonderful talents and stories.
