I love anthologies because there are so many new authors that you can discovered all at once. This anthology had one of my favorite authors Charlene Hartnady which was the main reason I chose to read it. But there are also many entertaining short stories by some very good authors. I enjoyed most of the novellas with an exception of a few which were just too raunchy for my taste but most of them have interesting characters and story lines. Of all the shorts, for me the most enjoyable reads were:

Christin Lovell ~ A Beary Merry Christmas
V. Vaughn ~ Andre
Tasha Black ~ Ghost of Shifters Past
Charlene Hartnady ~ Shifter Beneath the Mistletoe
Harmony Raines ~ Bear Humbug
Ruby Shae ~ Little Drummer Bear
Emerald Wright ~ A Dragon’s Gift

Excellent fun read about two academically minded college students with an un-bear-able physical attraction to each other. She feels that she is overweight, he is concerned about her possible reaction to his being a bear shifter. Situational and verbal humor make this one different from the same old stuff. Looking for the next one, but glad that it's broken up into parts so that I can get other things done!
Steven Washington did a fine narration for this Whispersync on the cheap!… (mais)
