Ashe excels at shorts, especially vignette-type formats. Having this been my least favorite series/couple so far (I just think we need more time?!) didn't detract, and I kind of wish I'd read these between, in fact.

Snippets of classic Shaw and North shenanigans that are adorable and cute.
Lots of flirting of course, although there needs to be an advisory warning for the last story,

A set of amusing short stories that won't make any sense unless you have read the Borealis Investigations - and probably make most sense read in between as indicated.
Interestingly the first one tells us how Pari came to be 'employed' by N&S.
With a couple of 'mysteries' and a few insights in the pairs dynamics, it is a lovely companion to the series

Gregory Ashe blessed us with a collection of North and Shaw stories! Some had been available already but there are some new ones in here. The timelines in these run throughout the original three books.
I read the, “Borealis Investigations,” books before reading his, “Hazard and Somerset,” ones so North and Shaw were my first experience with Ashe. And while I think Ree and John have inched their way slightly ahead of them as far as favorite couples go, I so love these two with all my heart. I keep hoping we will someday get more books with this amazing duo. They are cute, funny, sexy and snarky. Perfection!
If I can’t get anymore full length novels with them, I would be delighted if he kept releasing little vignettes like these every so often. Just so I know how they are doing. Like Hazard and Somerset, North and Shaw feel like real people to me. That’s how good he is. I would happily read about them for years to come.

In general, I don't overly enjoy all these codas and short stories authors are doing these days, even from authors that I highly enjoy. This is probably my favourite collection.

If you enjoyed the series, you will enjoy this collection. There are four stories, all fun. At the end there are six cut scene vignettes. If you ever want to know how to write great sex scenes, those are ...well, honestly it was hard to pay attention to technique because I kept grinning like an idiot at these two, but I'm sure I can learn a few things if I read them again. :)
This is a love-collection for fans of the trilogy. <3 Thank you, Gregory Ashe!
