An excellent anthology to whet your appetite for these four terrific writers--J.D. Robb, Laurell K. Hamilton, Susan Krinard, and Maggie Shayne. Because of the anthology format, these paranormal/futuristic love stories are relatively brief, but do give you a taste that will leave you wanting more! Great for a "palate cleanser" when you're in between books, or perfect for bringing on a trip!

I enjoyed the short story by Laurell K. Hamilton and immediately went out and bought the book that this piece is in. I am not a big J.D. Robb fan so I didn't get into the sotry and the other two stories did nothing for me.

It was ok. I didn't finish the Krinard story. I liked Maggie Shayne and even Hamilton was okay, with less sex and more story than usual.

This includes JD Robb's (aka Nora Roberts) Interlude in Death. It falls in the In Death series between Betrayal in Death and Seduction in Death.

I gave this book a C+ on my personal book rating scale. What can I say about this book. Well, I think it suffers from what other anthologies suffer from...too little pages not enough story.
The JD Robb story was about 90 pages long. I felt the story was good and complete. Perhaps it is because I have read so many other Eve and Roarke books that the lack of background on the characters was ok with me.
Kinsman by Susan Krinard was perhaps the weakest of the stories. at 87 pages the story introduces several alien species, different planets and a while new galaxy and I just felt that there was not enough background to allow the reader to stay connected with all the different species and what their capabilities were. I have noticed that there is a full novel on the Kinsmen..I might try it to see if Krinard's world makes more sense.
Maggie Shayne's story was not bad but it did leave some unaswered questions.
Laurell K Hamilton....what can I say about her other then when you get to put a short story in an anthology it should be an actual short story and not two chapters or so from an upcoming book.
