![]() ![]() It's a personal taste, I think, but something I hadn't realized until I got this anthology. But I found a male voice (regardless of how talented) awkward when speaking female dialog or narrating certain romantic situations. Granted, either way one gender has to 'speak' as the other, but I guess I'm used to female voices imitating male speech. Another thing I learned from this purchase is that, basically, I prefer female voices reading the story. D'Alessandro's is OK and Laurens' is downright awful (unless you're a big Nancy Drew fan). Frankly, of the four Balogh's and Hern's are truly worth reading. ![]() Each section should have a heading and then the chapters within it should be numbered. This is a sloppy approach-easier from a production standpoint but to the detriment of the reader. If, for example, you want to go to the next story because you decided you're just not going to like the one you're on (and, trust me, this will happen!), you have to start skipping forward since you don't know where one ends and the other begins. But there is no way to know where one begins and the other ends since the chapters are sequentially numbered as if it was all one book. He lusted after Carolyn, sure, but he never imagined that once he lured her to his bed. ![]() Theoretically, these are four stories, separate and independent from each other.
