These are re-releases stories from older anthologies - sure wish they'd make this clear when describing the book. I get it when they release the ebook and then eventually release it in an anthology - but something like this [or when they change the title/cover] really frosts me. It can't be a good business sense to tick off the customers...

The N.J. Walters story is from Overtime, Under Him. It's a good enough story, but as a person who is never fooled by costumes or masks [I identify people by voice and how they move] the whole concept about seducing her boss while costumed/masked and he'd NEVER know it was her... Nope. Doesn't work for me. Didn't work for him either.

"Sinderella" by Jan Springer is from Bad Girls Have More Fun. It's heavy handed and silly - the oppressed [by her wicked stepmother and stepsisters, surprise! surpise!] gynecologist dances around as an X-rated Cinderella to let out her inner vixen. Her Prince Charming is a fellow gynecologist from work and at one point they're doing it on the exam table... Just, ewwwww!

I liked Wolf in Cheap Clothing by Charlene Teglia, even though I read it in the Out of This World Lover some time ago. Although short, I thought this was the best of the lot. It had some cute, snarky dialogue as the heroine [who was turned into a werewolf via attack and is out hunting the rogue] meets the hero [local pack alpha also looking for the rogue]. She has no clue about anything shifter - except she goes furry once a month and she wants to get the guy who did it as he tends to leave bodies [those unable to change] in his wake. They meet, mate, and catch the rogue in about 40 pages... Talk about life on the fast track!

The Tawny Taylor story was offered in Naughty Nights. Pretty silly mishmash of erased memories, unknown worlds [complete with husbands and a job as The Goddess], kinky sex [LOTS of it], and women who all look like her. No wonder Michigan looked pretty good...
