Helpful Score: 4

I found the first story Wolf in Shinning Armor by Charlene Teglia to be just OK. I found it very hard to connect with either one of the main characters in the story. I enjoy a lot of shifter stories, but this one just didn't "grab" me like the different shifter series that Lauren Dane writes (for example). The actions of the "bad guy" are a bit pridictable, and the resolution of the relationship between Rorik and Ailiss was just a bit to "pat", easy and quick for me. The scond story, Stolen Goddess, by Tawny Taylor was a diappointment. The sex scenes came away with a slight flavor of dominance and light bondage, but the storyline was just a bit ridiculous and I could barely make myself finish it. The saving grace for this book was the third story, Tempting a Lady, by Dawn Ryder. I've read one of her other stories, Outside Protocol, and really liked it. She writes her characters in a way that lets you connect with them, understand their motivations, and empathize with them. Her sex scenes are some of the hottest I've ever read without crossing the line into overwritten or overabundant. I will definately be hunting up more of her stuff in the future. For me, Tempting a Lady saves this book from being a complete waste of money.
