Only reason this book got only 3 stars is because I dont care for short stories. I did enjoy seeing what 4 different authors did with the same plot. As Balogh is a favorite of mine, I was disappointed to see by the index that her version was the shortest. Still, I wasnt shocked to find that her story was my top pick despite being a measly 85 pages long. I confess the other 3 ladies stories were all good,too even if H/hs were getting a little muddled in my mind by the end.
