Moon Fever

This is a collection of 4 short stories. I usually don't like short stories but every once in a while they are all I have time for. The cover of this book is generic and could have been made to be more appealing.

Synopsis (from back of book):

1. In "Tempting Fate" by Susan Sizemore, Desiree dreams she spent a passion-filled night with sexy rock star Jon Coyote...and that he told her he was a vampire. But when Desiree discovers she is mysteriously pregnant, her erotic fantasy takes a strangely realistic turn.

2. An angry ghost haunting Caroline's house in "The Darkness Within" by award-winning author Maggie Shayne. But when sexy private investigator Jim Lipton offers to help discover what is going on, Caroline suspects that he has a personal interest in her ghost- and in her.

3. In "Cobwebs Over The Moon" by Lori Handeland, Manhattanite Carly Kelly is pursued by werewolves across the wintry Alaskan Wilderness, and only ruggedly handsome soldier Dylan Shepard stands between her and death.

4. Lycanthropy takes an exotic tropical twist in "Crazy for the Cat" by Caridad Pineiro. When scientist Jessica Morales travels to the Amazon jungle, she discovers that beneath the savage grace of her local guide, the handsome Javier da Costa, lurks a hidden wildness that is as tempting as it is dangerous.

My thoughts: Overall I rated this book a 2.5/5. I liked half the stories so I gave it half the score.

1. This story was descent but a little melodramatic. Ms. Sizemore tried to incorporate comedy into this story and it just didn't work for me. At the end of the story I just felt short changed.

2. I didn't think I would like this story at all but it was actually my favorite. Maggie Shayne wrote a short-to-the-point paranormal romance mystery.

3. This story starts off very fast paced and stays that way through the entire story. This was my second favorite story. It kept me guessing and interested. Dylan is definitely my kind of man.

4. Out of all the stories, this one was my least favorite. Honestly, I couldn't even get into this story enough to finish it.
