Sweet: Love at First Date by Susan Hatler
Ellen may not believe in storybook love, but it’s about to rewrite her life. . . .
Ellen’s figured out that finding the right guy is all about compatibility. That’s why she signs up for Detailed Dating—the local online dating scene in Sacramento. They ask men the hard questions, compare their answers with hers, then she filters through the profiles of each provided “match.” After numerous email exchanges, she narrows it down to two promising candidates she’s excited to meet in person.
When Ellen’s best friend asks her for a favor, dog-sitting leads to disaster and Ellen ends up at the local vet where she meets a man she can’t get out of her mind. Henry isn’t a logical choice, but she finds herself paying for dog obedience class to spend more time with him.
Ellen knows that in order to have a lasting relationship, she should take the safe route and go for one of the pre-screened guys. But, how can she think with her head when her heart keeps begging her to give Henry a chance?
Sassy: From Fame to Shame by Veronica Blade
When good-girl Maddie switches places with her famous bad-girl twin Jackie, she has some pretty high stilettos to fill.
Despite the danger of tabloid drama if their identity swap is discovered, Maddie has to save her sister's butt. When Jackie’s ex-boyfriend shows up with a rekindled spark for “Jackie,” his deep gray eyes and sweet kisses make Maddie's heart thumpety thump. But dating the guy who dumped her sister is a no-no. Too bad Dallas isn’t used to girls saying no. What will happen when he discovers Maddie’s deception?
Sexy: Wild For Mr. Wrong by Virna DePaul
Can an uptight prosecutor and a laid-back defense attorney find love despite their opposing agendas?
Bryn Donovon became a prosecutor for a reason and defense attorney Daniel Mays seems to take his job about as seriously as he does his love life. While straight-laced Bryn can’t deny she’s attracted to the southern charmer, she’s determined to keep her distance. Instead, she ends up finding something she’d lost long ago—a willingness to risk all for love.
Sweet, Sassy & Sexy sums this one up! I really enjoyed all the stories in this collection and would definitely recommend this collection as a nice way to get to know the writing style of the three authors.
Susan Hatler's story of a woman who thinks compatibility is the most important thing in a relationship was a nice, sweet read. I loved watching Ellen's world get turned upside-down when she starts to realize that maybe there is something to be said for attraction and chemistry. And how cute was Chester, Ellen's best friend Rachel's miniature beagle? This was a definite read for any lover of sweet romances, especially if you love stories with dogs!
Veronica Blade gives us a fun twin-swapping story where the anonymous twin switches place with her starlet sister. Of course finding love when you are pretending to be someone you're not doesn't really start a relationship off on the right foot. This was another fun read, the characters were a bit young, but I enjoyed the story.
Virna DePaul's sexy story was great! A prosecutor and a defense attorney certainly don't seem like they could ever be a match, and Bryn and Daniel were a whole lot of fun to watch. Bryn is determined to not get involved with Daniel, Daniel is determined to do whatever it takes to make Bryn his. And when circumstances force Bryn to face some issues from her past, helping Daniel may be just what she needs to move forward. I really enjoyed this one - it is definitely the sexy one in the bunch, right down to the dirty talking defense attorney who plays hard in the court room and the bed room.
All in all a great collection of stories with something for everyone. These were all novellas in length but each story wrapped up nicely. In spite of the length, they all read well and didn't leave me feeling like there should have been more to the story. I'd recommend this collection to any romance lover who likes to read a range of heat levels.
