Should have left the last story out

O.k. You are probably wondering why I gave the book four stars and then the title is to leave the last story out. Well, the reason was that the last story was totally inapporpriate for a collection of love stories. It was dark and disturbing and I don't care to read something like that again.The first two stories were pure magic. I found the references to "Taming of the Shrew" very funny mostly because I loved that movie. The first story with the private eye and his daughter is all about misunderstandings and how they can blow things right out of proportion. It was so nice to see two happy endings. The stories just flowed and made me feel like I was right in New Orleans at the ball. Oh just once I want to be able to dress up in a fancy gown. This was the next best thing. Best of all, was that the stories were short and were easy to finish in a couple of hours without taxing your brain.

As Hot as a Louisiana Night!!!!

" Unmasked" makes you feel as if you were in New Orleans, during Mardis Gras. The seson of parties and celebreation. Blake and Dailey makes a great team!!! Though Elizabeth Gage story was a little to much sex for my taste.
