Four hot stories by four different authors. Lori Foster contributed "Hart and Soul." Deirdre Martin wrote "Breaking the Ice." Elizabeth Bevarly wrote "Double Booked," and the "Original Zin" was written by Christie Ridgway.

Lori's book brings us again to that famous Winston family. It was a cute story about rekindling a one-night stand. I also enjoyed Deirdre's story that was about a hottie Russian hockey star--tho the gal he was attracted too was kinda weak. Elizabeth Bevarly's story had me laughing out loud at times. About a guy and gal who can't stand each other at the office wind up sharing the same vacation holiday. Too funny! The last story wasn't all that great. I'm not familiar with this writer and didn't care much for her style.

The romance sizzles in all 4 stories. A quick read.

I had read Double the Pleasure by Lori Foster & Deirdre Martin and 2 other authors, so I ordered this book.

Each Story is only about 100 pages long.

Lori Foster: This is the second Novella I have read by her. This one inspired me to order the rest of the series from Paperback swap. I liked this little Novella. This one was about Hart Winston. It was a little rushed and quick but the writing is good.
If you would like to read about the other Winston Men
1. Tangled Sheets (1999) (in the book Hot Chocolate)
2. Tangled Dreams (1999) (in the book Charmed)
3. Tangled Images (2000) (in the book Sinful)
4. Wild (2001)
5. Say No to Joe? (2003)
The Winston Brothers: Tangled Sheets / Tangled Dreams / Tangled Images (omnibus) (2001)
Wildly Winston: Tangled Sheets / Tangled Dreams / Tangled Images / Wild (omnibus) (2006)
6. Deuces Wild (2008) (in the book Double the Pleasure)
7. Hart and Soul (2009) (in the book Double the Heat)

Deirdre Martin: This Novella was better than the Novella in Double the Pleasure. Still not her best work but OK. This Novella was about another hockey player on the Blades team and it also tied into a long time patron of the Hart Bar. The story seemed a little rushed but not bad. As I was reading it I realized that I have read stories after this Novella took place. Some of the back characters situations have changes.
All the Characters intertwine in her stories
Body Check (2003)

Breaking the Ice (in the book Double the Heat )(2009)

Straight Up (2010)
Icebreaker (2011)

Elizabeth Bevarly: This story was not bad. It was my first story from this writer. It was a little predictable but it had some more steam than the first two authors. What happens when two enemies are stuck on vacation with each other?

Christie Ridgway: It was pretty good. It had some steam. It is the Prince arriving in a limo story. I think all overworked single girls since seeing Pretty Women dream of this.
