Summary: Ho-hum romance
Comment: I found this book to display some of the best aspects of romance stories, and the worst. The best being the emotional struggle for the characters in the Bonander story which was affecting, and the wort being the utterly shallow and insipid writing of Small. The Small romance had no detail of plot, character, or circumstance. It was as if the elements were chosen at random from a Arabian mad-lib, and strung together with lots of adverbs. The love scenes were especially disappointing, with mechanical explainations of love acts, having no purpose other than to be "naughty". The Thea Devine story was a pleasant deviation from the tiresome girl-plotting-to-trap/impress-guy scenario, with compelling love scenes. One last thing; I didn't consider any of the men to be "Rogues".

Summary: a mixture for the reader
Comment: I found this book to be delightful and disappointing. I loved the story by Bertrice Small, my all-time favorite romance author. She did not disappoint me with her decadent and delicious tale. Thea Devine's tale was not to my liking, as none of her writing has been, though I did actually manage to finish reading this story. Jane Bonander wrote a sweet tale of a sister trying to play matchmaker for her brother. It was a fun read. The book is worth the price for Bertrice Small's story. I only wish it had been longer.

Summary: An Average Anthology
Comment: In this uneven boudoir romance novella, maestro Bertrice Small easily outshines with her unconventional tale "Zuleika and the Barbarian" with its exotic Arabic setting. The tale excites with delicious cunning, pageantry and sorcery with Zuleika the Princess of Dariyabar outwitting his cousin Haroun to regain her hold of the throne. She strikes a bargain with her betrothed Amir Khan and with the aid of her genie Kansbar, she has to fend herself from the evil plots of the wicked harem mistress. Thea Devine and Jane Bonander choose a safer route with mediocre romances. "All the Secret Pleasure" by Devine is a tale that sees Simon Charlesworth convincing worldy widow Corinna Woodholme that she is to be his only choice in marriage; Bonander's simple tale is an encounter of love sparks between bachelor Ross Benedict and feisty Lily Charlesworth whose trust had been misplaced by her ex. Save for Bertrice Small's tale, this anthology is largely diluted and unexciting.
