This anthology begins with Extra Sensual Perception by Debra Glass where Iris, a psychic, is asked to help the police solve a string of suspicious suicides. Her intuition points to serial murders but when she "sees" four names instead of only three, she is horrified as the handsome fourth man is the man of her dreams... or the next dead.

French Kiss by Solange Ayre is the story of socialite Amaryllis who is engaged to Dr Brendan Bradford, a wealthy but socially inferior doctor. Suspicious of his visits to a club/brothel, she disguises herself as a French prostitute and has a passionate encounter with her fiancé.

Sexually satisfied but now worried about Bren's fidelity, she wonders if the wedding will go on.

Next is Having It All by Desiree Holt where rock star Mac Fontana seeks to reclaim Daisy, whose heart he broke ten years ago with his infidelity. She'll give him one erotic night to prove his love and regain her trust.

Amanda is finally picking up the pieces of her broken heart twelve months after being dumped by Alpha werewolf Ethan in Hungry like a Wolf by Talya Bosco. When a new man comes into her life, Ethan returns as well and Amanda wonders whether is merely possessiveness or love that drives Ethan to reclaim her.

Resisting Reed [by Kristin Daniels] is what Marilee has been trying to do for years as she knows that lusting over your best-friend's son is a no-no, but after her divorce she gives into temptation and is discovered after their afternoon of lovemaking. Will she lose a treasured friendship or choose between her younger lover and her friend?

Intergalactic bounty hunters, sometimes lovers and frequent rivals, Tabrin and Zeyd are Trapped in an escape pod for 24 hours and what's worse the air in the pod has the effect of relaxing inhibitions. Amid the marathon sex, will Cindy Spencer Pape's male protagonist Zeyd convince Tabrin that they belong together forever?

This anthology has something for everyone as plots involve werewolves, rock stars, futuristic aliens and even socialites from the early 1900s. All stories were generally well-written, though Extra Sensual Perception and French Kiss stand out with their tight plot, style and characters.
