dark

hopeful
lighthearted
fast-paced
I've never clicked "dark" and "light-hearted" for the same book before. lol There's a range of tones in this collection.
Counting Crows: This story pulled me in, though I'm not sure that it's strong as a romance exactly. Maybe "fantasy/women's fiction" if that were a thing. The male lead is barely sketched, except as a nice alternative to the terrible husband. The husband's eventual fate is such a classic Mercedes Lackey twist that it gave me fond flashbacks to the 1990s. haha
Drusilla's Dream: The story that earned "light-hearted." Honestly, not my favorite. So fluffy that I had to turn my brain off to finish it.
Moonglow: I was glued to this one to find out how it ended. I even checked my library's catalog and discovered that they have the sequel...
