There are four romances in this anthology.
The Series
"Love's Prisoner" (Wyndham Werewolf, 1)
"A Candidate for the Kiss" (Vampires, 6)
The Stories
Sandy Fraser's "Flint's Fuse"
This finds Flint kidnapping his boss' daughter, Dana Madison, to keep her out of trouble while Madison finishes up a major business deal. A month of pure torture for both. For different reasons.
This was cute, but too clichéd to really catch my interest. Fraser had Dana doing a too-abrupt one-eighty on her feelings toward Flint much too easily. There was no build-up, no finesse.
MaryJanice Davidson's "Love's Prisoner"
This finds Michael Wyndham trapped in an elevator with Jeannie Lawrence on the cusp of the full moon. And she smells too good to ignore.
Clever and cute especially with Michael's complete openness with Jeannie and his pack. Too funny.
Alice Gaines' "The Education of Miss Felicity Wells"
This is quite the Victorian erotic adventure as Miss Felicity Wells seeks a sexual education in pleasing her future husband from Boston's most notorious hedonist, Dr. Marcus Slade.
I did enjoy Gaines' history "lesson" with the very emancipated Miss Wells. A unique twist on "sex = love".
Angela Knight's "A Candidate for the Kiss"
This has a unique approach with a somewhat clichéd ending which finds the secret government agency Archer works for requiring that Archer tap Dana Ivory to serve them instead of the The Adamsburg Weekly Tribune. Not what Dana was expecting when she hid out in the treehouse to eavesdrop on the plotters.
The Cover and Title
The cover finds a suspicious, blonde beauty in some kind of top glaring out at us while a short-haired, possibly naked, blond is hovering over her shoulder.
Secrets: The Best in Women's Erotic Romance is simply volume six of a series of romantic anthologies under the Secrets name.

I enjoyed Angela Knight's story but the others were a little squicky. It's hard to hard to pull off the kidnapping/dubious consent (or in at least one of these story flat out rape) equals love stories and make it seem convincing. And that is in a full length novel. Short stories have it harder. I personally didn't think most of these stories made it work.

Normally, I don't like romance... And the only story I did like in this collection was MaryJanice Davidson's Loves Prisoner.

I had seen the Wyndam characters in Davidson's other stories and was curious about their origins. Wrap it up however you like, Davidson has romanticized rape and kidnapping. I am so disappointed.

Just read Love's prisoner in this book. Have read Davidson's undead series and loved it so thought I would give this series a try. At first I was unsure as it has a forced seduction in it. But if I ignored that it was a good story, think I will continue in the series x

I only read the MaryJanice Davidson short story. It was ok, good to have it read to fit into the rest of the Betsy world.
