This book can almost be seen as a taster for three of Ms Kenyon's worlds: The League, the Kinley MacGregor novels, and the Dark Hunter series.
In the first story, the main male character is the son of the lead character in Fire and Ice. It was a bit of shock to find he was now the father of a brood, but still, did not detract from the story.
The second story has the sort of knight in shining armour/medieval setting of the Kinley MacGregor novels. They are not my favourite, but this story was still OK.
The third story is based around the Were-Hunters from the Dark Hunter world. Sebastian is a Drakos and Arcadian. As a tale, it serves as an excellent introduction to the Were-Hunter world, but at the same time, it is biased towards one side of that story, namely the Arcadian as opposed to the Katagari. As some of my favourite books feature Katagari males, I would advise any reader to remember that there are two sides to any story.
Overall, an excellent intro to Ms Kenyon's other books, and one that does not require an in-depth knowledge of her stories to enjoy.

As always I enjoyd Sherrilyn Kenyon's stories, but, probably because they were short, did not enjoy them as much as I would a full story. I ADORE the "Dark Hunter" series but have not yet started any of her other series.

Great short stories!

In Other World was a book with three different stories. I had not realized that these stories had been released at an earlier time. I enjoyed two of the three stories.
The first story was taken from Kenyon's Born Series. I really liked this story about Adron and Livia. It was so sweet and loving that it sucked me in from the first page. I had seen Adron's name from the other Born books but it was great to get his back story. This book could have been longer because it would have been great to get into more depth about Adron and his injuries and Livia's culture. It was clear that both characters had been through some tragic situations. I loved how the story developed and ended. Adron was in so much physical pain and just wanted to be with Livia so much. I loved the way they met and how their loved developed over one night. I know I had tears in my eyes throughout most of the story. I also laughed a lot. I hope that Ms. Kenyon will do stories on Adron's brothers and sister Zarina. I remember Zarina from Devon's story. She is a kickass female.
The second story started off cute but then just turned weird and confusing. I could not get into it. It just seemed so rushed. I liked the characters but then it got into some kind of library with books written by children and lost authors and just a lot of mumble. I could not get into it after that and I just skimmed over the last half to get to the last book which I knew was a werehunter book.
I loved the last story because I love Kenyon's werehunter stories. This story was so entertaining that i could not put it down until I finished. I had not read a dragon shifter story before and I loved the story between Sebastian and Channon. Sebastian was so sexy and sweet. The whole mating and hand imprinting was great. I cannot wait until her next book No Mercy.
All in all this was a good purchase and I enjoyed two of the stories. I would recommend the book to any fans of Kenyon who have not already purchased these stories earlier. You will enjoy the stories very much. I would have given five stars if not for the second story.

Well worth the first story alone!
19 Sep 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Fire and Ice
THE STORY - Adron, a league assassin commander, was severely injured by a target. He is fragile now and he hates it, he pushes everyone away and lives in self pity. One night out drinking Livia sits down next to him and starts kissing him to escape the guards her father sends after her. Adron takes her home with him and finds out how perfect for him she is. Livia has a tenacity that is perfect for Adron. Adron is the son of Kiria and Nykyrian from the first league book Born of Night. All the brothers and sister are out to play on this one.
THOUGHTS - This book is my favorite of the three. I adore all the league books, I was hoping to hear Adron's story. Out of the three books, this one has the most feeling coming through the pages. It made me cry and feel the love of Livia and Adron. That's rare, nevertheless in a short story. I'm very impressed with this story. I'm glad we got to see his three brothers and sister.
Knightly Dreams
THE STORY - Taryn has been hurt too much to believe in happy endings anymore. A book store she's never seen before calls to her, where the shop keeper gives her a book for free. SparHawk the brave, the cover of her book, wakes up in her bed the next morning. Taryn and Hawk hit it off right away.
THOUGHTS - this book is my least favorite of the three. I liked the idea behind this story, it just lacked emotion for me. This one is the shortest of the three as well.
Dragonswan
THE STORY - Channon is a history fanatic. She wants to decipher an old dragon tapestry. While studying it she meets Sebastian. He is someone she never pictured being interested in her, but he is. One thing leads to another, but he must go back into time. He is a dragon shifter, right before he leaves a mark shows up on his palm. The mating mark. Sebastian must decide where to go from there with Channon.
THOUGHTS -This was my second favorite in this book. I really liked this story, I wished she wrote more in this setting. Channon and Sebastian's relationship is touching and sweet. I'm not big on anthologies, but this is a good one all in all.

All three of these short stories were published before.
I really wish that publishers would print that fact on the cover.
