OVER THE MOON

Author: Angela Knight, MaryJanice Davidson, Virginia Kantra, Sunny ISBN: 0425213439 1/2007 PARANORMAL Publisher: BERKLEY SENSATION

Experience the lure of the moon... As a lovely werewolf in the midst of her Burning Moon must decide between two very different suitors determined to have her-no matter the cost... In the wickedly funny lair of the Wyndham werewolves, where a vampire and a werewolf fall together-literally... Under a dark night sky of magic and wonder, where the lines between the kingdom of the Fae and the mortal world become dangerously blurred... In the exotic realm where souls are born of the moon, and a Mixed Blood Queen is in command... Four all-new novellas of love and legend, myth and magic, fear and desire, as powerful and enthralling as the moon itself.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

This anthology does not do anything for me. Sorry, but that is the way it is. The first story is crass, the second is boring until nearly the end, the third is strange enough to keep me reading, and the best of the bunch, but the last... well, though I can give the author kudos for trying to make it beautiful, a ménage a trois is still a ménage a trois.

I hate to rip up the authors' efforts at collaboration, but this is so close (the last one is) to erotica that I just can't like it. For me, the whole idea of a romance book involves two people in the end. Doesn't matter to me if it's paranormal, historical, medieval or futuristic. You can have love triangles and even a kiss or two if the storyline demands it, but I draw the line at sexual threesomes, no matter how nicely the author throws in the love between them all. That is not my (perhaps outdated) version of romance.

Is it unfair to have my judgment of what could be an otherwise great read by my dislike of erotica? Maybe. But this site is dedicated to romance, not crude words and the pain/pleasure I associate with erotica, no matter how well written or pretty the package is.
