“Another of the J. D. Robb, Mary Blayney, Patricia Gaffney, Ruth Ryan Langan, Mary Kay McComas anthologies, several of the short stories continuing with characters or concepts from their previous anthologies. As a J. D. Robb fan, I especially read The Unquiet for her contribution. It was not her best effort but that was balanced out with the fact that I enjoyed several of the other short stories which is new for me.”

“I picked this book up because there was something in it by J.D. Robb. I found that I had already read that particular book and I had never read any of the three remaining authors. Two of the stories,Dear One by Patricia Gaffney and His Brothers Keeper by Mary Kay McComas were very good. The other two were just okay. They weren't the type of story that catches my interest. ”

These short stories are enjoyable for fans of the romantic, paranormal type of reading.”
“Excellent JD Robb story following New York to Dallas, and hinting at the story to be told in Celebrity In Death. The other three stories are paranormal romance, and while the authors are top in their genre, are simply too lightweight a storyline to keep up with Eve and Roarke.”

“I don't like the short stories as much ... the mystery was solved too quickly IMO.”

“A nice collection of stories. JD Robb's is undeniable the strongest but fans of hers and of series like this, will enjoy it. ”

“The best was Dear One by Patricia Gaffney. I loved Oliver pretending to be Shorty the cowboy, and Molly's alter egos were amusing and touching. The worst was Her Greatest Treasure by Mary Blayney. I didn't like Lydia, Chase, or the lame wish necklace. ”
