Mini-view: Be Mine - Jennifer Crusie, Victoria Dahl and Shannon Stacey




Sizzle by Jennifer Crusie Business takes a backseat when successful ad executive Emily Tate meets Richard Parker. He's an accountant who's been sent to keep her in line and under budget in her ad campaign for a sensual new perfume called Sizzle. And if Emily's not careful, she could well melt in Richard's hands.  
Too Fast to Fall by Victoria DahlFor Jenny Stone, driving is her escape-from her past, her problems, her quiet life in Jackson Hole. But after Deputy Nate Hendricks stops her-again-for speeding, she could lose more than just her license. She could lose her heart. Nate seems to think that Jenny should replace her love for fast driving with something even more...heart pumping. And despite her need for speed, Jenny's never been one for defying the law. 
Alone With You by Shannon Stacey When waitress Darcy Vaughan's friend asks her to help out with the launch of a fledgling restaurant, she's happy to oblige. Little does she know the owner is Jake Holland, the perfect guy who slipped through her fingers after their one night of passion. But for Darcy and Jake, one touch was just not enough.


That's right, it's that day again. But come on, if nothing else it's the perfect excuse to curl up and read a good book (maybe with some chocolate too). You guys know how much I like short story collections, how good they are for reading on the go or for a cheeky pick me up on your lunch-break. Firstly, I think we have to discuss how Be Mine is perhaps the Holy Grail of anthologies with three stories from three of my favourite authors. While it's not new, it was actually released last year for Valentine's, it's new to me - somehow managing to slide under my radar.
