Yep, it's worth a credit. The first story by Jet Mykles is probably my favorite as well. It's told in first person, which I normally avoid like the plague, but somehow it was okay this time. It's about a witch that uses a spell to call for help, and it works a little too well. Instead of one shifter, she gets two - a playful Wolf and an intense Jaguar. All the characters were very likable and genuinely cared for each other. One thing of note though, is that although the story had a good plot/premis, it was definitely sex driven (as in a *lot* of sex with a little story in between)! Also, it's pretty obvious that this book is a menage tale with m/f/m, but it also includes m/m, which took me by surprise. Still, it was my favorite story of the three in this book.
The second story is about a woman, whose car gets stuck in a ditch during a storm and seeks shelter at the closest house. It just happens to be inhabited by a huge alpha male werewolf and friends. This was an okay story but my least favorite of the three. It just sort of jumped around and ended too abruptly for my tastes, leaving some issues hanging.
The last story is a fairly lighthearted, engaging, and at time humorous tale that I enjoyed. It's about a young werewolf, home for the weekend from vet school, that meets his mate when she hits him (in wolf form) with her car. The heroine soon finds out exactly what he is and romance ensues.
I rated the book 3 stars.

Unfortunately, this anthology was not that great. I finished the Mykles and Weaver stories and didn't bother with the Lynn story.
Mykles's story is about a witch named Meg who needs protection from an evil witch that is trying to force her into his coven. She ends up binding two shifters, a werewolf and a werejaguar, to her. Michael and Rudy are not interested in being bound to this witch, but after seeing the trouble she is in, they decide to help her. I thought this was just OK. I felt that Meg did some dumb things and everything just happened too quickly. 3 stars
In Weaver's story, we meet a werewolf named Grayson and a human named Scarlett, aka Red. Red is on her way to visit her grandmother and gets lost in a storm. She needs shelter and comes across Gray's house. Gray is reluctant to let her in, since he is entertaining guests, but does so. He warns Red not to walk around and locks her in her room for her safety. What ensues is a jumbled story. There's too much going on; Gray's reluctance to mate a human, dissension in his pack, a new wolf in the territory. I didn't get a chance to care about any of the characters and I couldn't wait to finish it. It just wasn't very good. 2 stars

Paranormal Erotic romance from Loose ID. Three stories involving werewolves. This is a great anthology. I particularly liked Jet Mykles' story about a witch in trouble, who casts a spell for a shifter protector. She gets two for the price of one! This book is worth a credit.
I really enjoyed this collection of stories. Worth reading. I especially liked the relationship between the 2 men in Jet Mykles' story, would have liked to read more about them. 4 stars.
