I really thought I was going to love all three of the novellas in this volume. Byrd, Hill and Perrin are some of my favorite authors, but sad to say, only one of there three really made it worth while to read. Finding the Right Key by Adrianne Byrd was hot, funny and I wished it was a full length book; Roud Midnight by Donna Hill was a nice, slightly sexy story; and Blind Faith was cute but weird and unfulfilling.

Story one? *fans self* Oh myyyyyy. It was heavy with the sex, but I thought the style was really cool. I liked the varied perspectives and the different relationships that were being shown. Pretty cool actually (if, y'know, a LOT heavier on the smut than is the norm for me). I was impressed by what the writer managed to pull off.
Story two? *wipes away a happy tear* I reallyreallyreally liked this one. Some authors can't get that type of story across in that short a space. This author succeeded. AMAZING character building done very quickly. Loved it. Going to see if my library has more by this author.
Story three? *snortlaughs* Yeah, not so much,not my speed. The first part was actually well done. Nice little mystic element, a lot of potential. Went waaaay downhill from there. I was laughing at bits I probably was not intended to laugh at. HOWEVER, I still thought the author pulled off some quality writing. So, even though I didn't like this one I was impressed by the writing.
Overall I would say this is very well-written. If I was just rating the writing abilities of the authors I'd give it a solid four. But the fact is that two of the three stories were not my style. I'd highly recommend any of the writers based on this book, but I don't know that I'd recommend the book.

Eh. Skipped the first story. Read the last two. The Donna Hill story was the best one.
