Liked It“This is the second time I've read this book and it was even better the second time around. Very fun and emotional stories. I especially liked the story by Sabrina Jeffries, even though I haven't read anything else by her. |

Great for inbetween!”
“I wanted to give this book 4 stars, but the last two stories were boring and cliche. I really enjoyed the first two stories, however. Lord Warbrooke is a wonderful character and the inclusion of a Tibetan monk as the romantic interest was interesting and unexpected. I wish the latter half of the book had been as entertaining as the first. I also wish writers of erotic romance would cease concluding their stories with the promise of babies and children for the female protagonist. I know I'm not the only woman who doesn't want her erotic tales to culminate in pregnancy and babies.”

Fantasy is a fabulous anthology by Sabrina Jeffries, Emma Holly, Elda Minger and Christine Feehan and has four terrific short stories in it. You will find out that one story is better than the other. Although I never read a book or a story by Emma Holly and Elda Minger, I found myself intrigued by their part in this anthology. I will be checking out their books in the future. I already enjoy reading Sabrina Jeffries books and this one was no exception. But my favourite was the one written by Christine Feehan. I’m a huge fan of her books and this short story is a fabulous start of her leopard series.
If you are not in the mood to read a whole book or a new series, but just some short stories, then you definitely need to check out this anthology. You won’t be disappointed.

It was a good read, but not something I would read again. The two stories (the first and third) made the book worth wild.”
