| In my experience, anthologies are one type of book that I either love or hate. Why? Many times there are only one or two good stories in the book and the rest you can take or leave, and you end up wishing you hadn't wasted the money. All Wrapped Up is one of the rare anthologies that are not in that category, because each story in this book could be a standalone and I would still want to read it. All of these authors are wonderful and the stories in this anthology reflect their talent. All the stories have a common theme of bondage or BDSM, some more than others.
Angela Knight's Blood Service is about a vampire that made me wish I could be his donor. I loved Adiva in this story; she was a heroine that was strong and able to handle whatever was thrown at her, even though she was supposed to be a submissive. She was definitely only submissive in the bedroom. Dakota Cassidy's Slave School Drop Out was laugh out loud funny at times, although at times it seemed that the story was trying almost too hard to be funny. Ann Jacobs Branded is a tender story about two people who love each other but through a series of misunderstandings end up without each other, until tragedy pushes them together. Kate Hill creates an action-filled story that keeps you on the edge of your seat with Tainted Kisses. One of the best parts of that story was that Etlu, the hero in the story, is not likeable at first until you read on and get to know him. I love it when a character grows in a story that makes it so much more interesting! The All Wrapped Up collection is one of the best set of stories I've read in a long time, so I definitely recommend that you pick it up and not miss out on the fantastic reading experience it will give you. Available in print!
