It was an okay read over all. I'm not sure what category this book is placed here but I know my library had it under romance. I really think it was more fantasy with some romance in it.

Christine Warren's "Devil's Bargain" was okay. The writing wasn't very smooth and the sex scenes seems forced. I think it would have been better off if she would have left it out entirely. The story was interesting. It might have been better if it was a book.

Marjorie M. Liu's "The Robber Bride" took some getting used to. Even though the story was post-apocalyptic, Liu's style of writing reminds me a little of regency novels. I do like the characters. They are all very interesting. I was slightly disappointed with the resolution of the story but I found the relationship between the two main characters very sweet. I wouldn't mind reading more about their adventures.

Caitlin Kittredge's "Down in the Ground Where the Dead Men Go": For some reason, I couldn't get into this story. I didn't finish it.

Jenna Maclaine's "Sin Slayer" was surprisingly good. I don't usually like historic stories or any stories based on the past, but this reads like a modern day story. No overly flowery language, very straight forward. The characters are intriguing and the story was pretty creative. I think I will definitely look Maclaine up and see if her other stuff is as much fun. Out of all four stories, this one was the best.
