Hot Chocolate - with a dash of skim milk!!
Actually, half-and-half might be a more appropriate analogy for this quartet of love stories. The first two, by Suzanne Forster and Lori Foster, live up to their billing. The hilarious affair between secretary Abigail and unaware boss Max builds to a delicious climax featuring a striptease! And Lori Foster follows by introducing us to the Winston boys, specifically the eldest, Cole, who is seduced by Sophie twice, once as herself and once as her decadent twin sister. Wonderful characters, delightfully sensual settings - it can't get much better! And unfortunately, it doesn't. While the other two tales are sweet romances, they don't compare well with the crisp sparkle of the first two stories. The plots are bland, and the characters are almost too good to be true. It was worth buying this book for the first two tales, but the second two are a disappointment.

A sensory experience
Four of the romance genre's hottest authors have provided tales to this well-written anthology using HOT CHOCOLATE as a theme.

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.

A bit too sweet
This collection of short stories is about women who share personal insecurities but decide to do something about it. The authors of this anthology take their main female characters and transform them from wallflowers into seductresses. The other thing these stories have in common is the use of chocolate as a plot device serving as some sort of key point in the story.

The sweetest story (no pun intended) of the group is Lori Foster's TANGLED SHEETS. Sophie Sheridan is a business owner who goes to the Winston Tavern every day after work for a cup of hot chocolate. She is attracted to bar owner Cole Winston and she is comfortable with their friendship. She would like to go one step further but she does not want to jeopardize what she already has with Cole. She pretends to have a twin sister named Shelly and she uses this alter ego to do the things that she wishes that she could do as Sophie. If things do not work out she can go back to her safe routine. Cole is intrigued and attracted to Shelly but he is in love with Sophie. He is a bit hesitant around Shelly but when he learns about Sophie's deception he will give her a Valentine's Day she will never forget. Nice and sweet stories for a rainy day.
