3.0 out of 5 stars A mixed bag of stories, but still worth getting - 3 1/2 stars August 10, 2011

By Riley

The only reason I downloaded this book onto my Kindle is because I wanted to read Nicole Williams' short story that provides the male POV from her Eden Series. And it was totally worth it!

However, I also read all the other short stories in this anthology, and they weren't all consistently as entertaining with some that were frankly dark and somewhat disturbing (from authors Emerson and Bryan). All the other stories were more in line with what I was expecting, which were either related excerpts from existing paranormal romance series or a short story along these lines. The reason I'm giving this an overall rating of 3 1/2 stars is due to the fact that though I didn't enjoy all the stories, I enjoyed most of them and liked the opportunity to get a sampling of potential new authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love and Heartbreak August 2, 2011

By M. Leighton, Author

Format:Kindle Edition

I've never read an anthology before, but I can say that, with a group like this, it's a great way to sample the tasty treats of each and find out what you've been missing. And what's more, all these talented authors are writing about love--in all its forms.

Fisher Amelie immersed me in the depths of a soul-searing love that stayed with me long after I'd finished, while JL Bryan thrilled me with a creepy fascination that could quite easily be addictive. Emerson served up a delicious helping of bitter love and revenge, Cole an evil side-dish of subterfuge. Jones demonstrated the pain of disappointment while King drew me in with a hauntingly beautiful tale of true love and ultimate betrayal. Williams capped the anthology off with her unique spin on a classic story of love at first sight.

Throughout this anthology, these authors captured the myriad emotions that can make a human heart feel as though it's made of glass, but in their larger works they prove that the heart is much more resilient. It will hold out for true love, eternal love, the kind of love we swoon over and die for, the kind that always hurts, always wins and never dies. And that, my friends, is what makes love worth reading about. So by all means, take off your rose-colored glasses and pick up this collection. I feel certain that it will leave you wanting more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Loved Nicole Williams! August 12, 2011

By Christina

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Like another reviewer, I downloaded this to read Nicole Williams' "The Woman in my Dreams", which is a portion of Eternal Eden told from William's point of view. I absolutely loved it! I'm hoping for the entire series to be retold this way (hint, hint).

The rest of the stories were okay, but I was really hoping to find something more that I would be interested in reading and none of them captured by attention well enough to make me want to read anything further from those authors.
