Your Room or Mine? By Jacquie D’Alessandro
Jack is the new CFO for the coffeehouse franchise. When his boss hires a consultant to improve employee relations and functionality, Jack is resigned to her interfering, talkative and not-taking personality. When his boss goes a step above and requires Jack and his accounting department to attend a tea- building weekend with consultant Maddie going along for observation, Jack is sure the weekend will be a nightmare. Maddie has been uptight for some time, and her friend suggests she needs some S-E-X with a human partner. Maddie wonders if she could pull that off.

Neither Jack or Maddie were prepared for the attraction between them but once Jack realizes Maddie is on the lookout for a one night stand, he decides what she needs is him.

Double Danger by Penny McCall
Dr. Abby Drake left Washington to come to Pottersville to stay with her elderly grandfather. The townspeople have not accepted her as one of them. Rarely is she allowed to “doctor” any of the residents. But one cold night she is given a corpse and asked to perform the autopsy. Opening the bag, she finds Drake, a college relationship gone wrong. She's even more disturbed to realize Drake isn’t dead and an FBI agent and her grandfather has been hiding some major secrets.

As they hide out to escape from the mafia, they discover the attraction they once shared in college never faded.

All the stories in this anthology were well written with interesting storylines. My favorite novella was the first one, Deuces Wild by Lori Foster, because it’s a spin off of her Winston Brothers series. Dexter is the kind of hero every girl wishes to have, and Christy was the perfect heroine for him. You won’t be disappointed by any of the stories in this book.
