Once in a Blue Moon by Lori Foster
Stan Tucker has the ability to read minds. This ability is intensified during every blue moon. Stan feels as if he has been cursed, until he reads the mind of book store owner Jenna Rowan.
Jenna has some very explicit thoughts about Stan, but with two children she is wary of entering into a new relationship. Stan has been interested in Jenna since his move to Delicious six months prior, and with Jenna's thoughts opened up to him, he decides to act on his desire. While Stan is wooing Jenna, he gives careful consideration to Jenna's childrens' feelings for him and his relationship with their mother.
This is a very sensual story with very realistic characters and a mother's love.
Moon Magnetism by Lucy Monroe
Blake Hawthorne's repeated requests for a meeting with Ivy Kendall, the manager of the inn in Delicious, have all been ignored. Ivy has an intensely magnetic aura and during every blue moon electronic devices around her are completely destroyed. When Blake comes to the inn to face her in person about renovating the inn to include the most up to date technology, Ivy prepares to leave, knowing that she will wreck all of the new computers. Ivy can't convince Blake that she has these powers, even though all of his high tech tools are ruined after being near her. Ivy and Blake cannot deny that there is a sexual pull between them, but Blake still has a job to do in convincing Ivy that they are indeed compatible and need to be together.
Blake is one of those males who loves to take care of the one he loves.
Moonstruck by Dianne Castell
Julia Simon makes a wish on her way out of the courthouse in Delicious after her final divorce hearing, resulting in a humiliating situation for her no good ex-husband. PI Marc Adams, who worked with Julia in gathering evidence to make the case for her divorce, fell for Julia. Julia makes another wish for a date with Marc, followed by a wish for a night of hot sex. Both of them have their wish granted when these wishes are granted. Julia is sure that Marc's interest in her will pass with the blue moon. Marc has to convince Julia that his feelings for her are real and Julia has unintentional wishes that have her best friend headed for disaster to correct.
This is a lighthearted story with a sensual wallop. These characters are as comfortable as family and the secondary characters add a great deal to the story.
All three tales in this anthology are great fun with just a touch of fantasy and I give it a strong recommendation.
