Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This anthology goes straight to the hearts of fantasy and romance fans alike, with magic-crossed lovers and unearthly powers colliding--with truly unpredictable results. Included are tales that run the gamut from a seemingly hopeless romance between a mortal and a vampire to a modern retelling of a Gaelic myth about a man who falls in love with a woman who is ugly but brilliant and good-tempered in the day, but beautiful and black-hearted at night to an intricate tale of ghost-crossed love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Fantasy/Romance Anthology!, May 17, 2000

By	"goddess891" (U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

Great idea to combine Fantasy & Romance! This is my favorite anthology for either genre to date. Every story is a gem, not one single story could have been omitted. They were all the best I've read since Mercedes Lackey stopped writing about Diana Tregarde Investigations, and Silhouette decided to end the Shadows line of books. I already crave a Dangerous Magic II anthology. Yvonne Jock's story is my favorite, I can certainly identify with a TV junkie with an active imagination! Enough said, this is a must-have for any fantasy or romance fan (or both).

5.0 out of 5 stars An eye-opening experience, February 5, 1999

By A Customer

I'm a guy and I wouldn't be caught dead reading a romance novel. But I do like fantasy so I picked this up for that reason. Surprised me that I enjoyed the stories by the romance writers just as much as from the fantasy writers. I figured maybe these were unusual stories, selected because they weren't typical for romance stories, but my girlfriend says no, that this is why she's been trying to get me to read romance stuff for the past couple of years. If the novels are anything like the stories in this anthology, then I'm going to have to start reading romance novels (with a book jacket on them of course.) My favorites in the collection are "Man of her Dreams" (T.Waggoner) and "Nine Tenths" (L.Hayden). How about a "DM2"?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Collection!, January 29, 1999

By A Customer

I loved this collection, especially the story about the faerie prince called "The Enchanted Garden" by Deb Stover. It was so funny I almost fell out of my chair while reading it.
