Hot Chocolate [Mass Market Paperback]

The third story in this book was alright, but a little bland and didn't keep my attention. I will look for her other books to see is she has something I would enjoy more.

The last story was good and I enjoyed reading. Overall, this book was great. But as I said before, Tangled Sheets was the best.

First story 'Not Abigail' about a personal assistant that turns over a new leaf and seduces her boss - Average. Kind of silly

Story two Lori Foster's 'Tangled sheets' about a shy girl who pretends to her sexy twin to snag the man of her dreams (one of the Winston Brothers if you're familiar Foster's work). Sweet and entertaining.

Story three. 'Buried in her heart' about a Lawyer who loves cooking and meets the man of her dreams during a cooking conference. Forgetable.

Story four, 'Ecstacy' by Fayrene Preston about a multimillionaire that tries to buy a small restaurant but falls in love with the talented cook.

All the stories have that the feel of those short stories in Womens magazines, you enjoy them while your reading but you instantly forget them when they're done. Can't really recommend the book but if you're friend has it borrow it for a quick read if you (like myself) are a romance junkie.

In Suzanne Forster's "Not Abigail!" multi-billionaire Max Gallagher gives his mousy assistant Abigail two weeks to find him a wife. She loves her boss, but it takes her friend's hot chocolate laced with a love potion for her to show him how she feels. Readers will not need a love potion to enjoy this story.

"Tangled Sheets" by Lori Foster stars Cole Winston, owner of a tavern. The only woman he finds interesting, Sophie, orders a hot chocolate at his establishment every night. She is too repressed to go after him so she invents a twin Shelly who goes after Cole. They spend a night of passion together, but Sophie flees when she realizes Cole knows who she really is. No repression for fans who will relish Ms. Foster's fine tale.

Category superstar Elda Minger contributes a very romantic tale in "Buried In her Heart." Attorney Abby wants to be a chef. Jack is opening up a California bistro that badly needs a gourmet chef. They meet while rescuing a cat together. They soon learn they are staying at the same place. He offers her a job and more, but will she have the courage to go after the two things she desires most in life?

Famous Loveswept author Fayrene Preston completes the book with the lovely "Ecstasy." Brenna's fudge is the rage and tycoon Hayden wants to mass produce it. He also wants Brenna, but how does he prove his love to her?

This Valentine's Day collection is a hot drink on that cold wintry day.
