Kaz's task becomes infinitely more complicated when a very attractive witch wants to help.

A mere seamstress’s daughter, Zoe Cyprienne Lane isn’t even in the same league as Lord Rhys Langford. Nothing could be more shocking than the notion that she’d set out to find her childhood friend and first true love. But when news arrives in the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania that Rhys is being held captive, that’s just what she does. Guided by her own hidden Gifts and her psychic link to Rhys—his presence and touch as electric as if he were beside her in the flesh—Zoe is his last lifeline to a world and a passion he thought he’d never regain. Only reunited, hunter and huntress, can they save the drákon from those who would destroy them all.

While Lord Maccon elects to get progressively more inebriated and Professor Lyall desperately tries to hold the Woolsey werewolf pack together, Alexia flees England for Italy in search of the mysterious Templars. Only they know enough about the preternatural to explain her increasingly inconvenient condition, but they may be worse than the vampires -- and they're armed with pesto.

Small disclaimer: I just want to say that it's a very mean thing to make Lisa Kleypas the first author you read when you open this book. It just puts a spotlight on all the flaws the other stories might have.

“I Will” by Lisa Kleypas

How can something so amazing be so short? Damn you, Lisa Kleypas for making me an addict to your writing. I don’t know how she does it but in 106 pages she made me fall in love head over heels with both the hero and the heroine. I thought at first I’d be subjected to instalove but no. The relationship was so well developed, all I could do was just let the feels wash over me like so:

I’ve been reading such lackluster novels lately that I legit rejoiced when I finished this story. Hell, I even teared up at one point. Andrew and Caroline were just fantastic. It’s just so good. I would’ve loved seeing this as a full novel but again, I’m quite happy to say Ms. Kleypas does nothing short of magic in such little pages.

Rating: 4.5

"Puddings, Pastries & Thou” by Lisa Cach

I’ve actually read this story last Christmas and I vaguely remembered it. Kinda spells out how memorable it was. The relationship felt completely rushed to say the least. A serious case of instalove. I mean after just a couple of days you feel you’ve found your soulmate?

Come on now.

It just didn't feel like there was any a real development. Their personalities didn’t jump off the page for me. It also felt like the author couldn’t fully develop their quirks. Take Vivian for example. She is anxious eater, yet it didn’t flow properly off the page. Every time I saw it in the narration, it felt completely tacked on. Even slightly unnecessary.

Richard wasn’t anything to write home about. He was just… okay.

Rating: 2.5.

“Union” by Claudia Dain

Never read a story quite like this one. There’s a shitload of characters (10 brothers but only 5 in the story! 1 sister! 1 suitor! 1 spinster!) and not a lot of description. I am weak for descriptions so I’m slightly peeved.

Beau and Clarissa’s banter was cute at times and disconcerting in others. I did like how resolute Beau was. He wanted what he wanted.

That end though. It was the definition of tacked on hot mess. All throughout the story we are told Clarissa calls herself Irish. She refuses to marry an Englishman but she must. I understood it was because she was born in Ireland. However, one of her many brothers I can hardly tell apart (except for Dalton) says that she’s English by birth. I got seriously confused. The reasons for her to deny herenglishness?

I pretty much stopped caring at this point. Add to the fact that the sex scene was awkward at best.

“All I Want” by Lynsay Sands

Prudence is the exact opposite of her name. She’s crazy and will stop at nothing to make sure her father stops gambling his life and the family money away. Stephen is the owner of Ballard’s, a London club that Prudence’s father frequents. He is of the ton like herself but he isn’t welcomed because he actually works for a living.

The schemes to get her dad to stop were ridiculously over the top. Sad to say, because of the brevity of this story, the instalove phenomena was very present.

While the story in itself was sweet, it felt rushed and I couldn’t find myself connecting with the main characters as I would’ve liked. Stephen felt grossly underdeveloped for my taste.

Rating: 3.

Mini review: "What I Want" by Lynsay Sands. A cute albeit lackluster story, I guess. The protagonist and her antics were a little over the top. I didn't find myself laughing at any of them. Meh. Hero was sweet but underdeveloped. Rating: 3.

Mini review: "Union" by Claudia Dain. I'm not even sure what I just read. Sparse description, a lot of dialogue and a somewhat interesting banter between the protagonists. But then that END. The hell was that hot mess? The author tried to resolve it quickly but it just added to the messiness. Rating: 3.

Holy shitload of characters, Batman. One protagonist, five (I think not too sure) older brothers, the wife of one of them and it's barely 3 pages into the story? A touch too many, I believe.
