At times, I really enjoy short stories. My mind doesn't want to delve into a whole long book and short stories are just what I need. When it is a group of authors as good as these, well...HEY! This was a fun read, and a book I have put on my keeper shelf. Having Feehan and Kenyon was the main reason I felt it was a keeper.

In Christine Feehan's MAGIC IN THE WIND, death stalks a former government brainchild. After an attempted kidnapping leaves him maimed and his research assistant dead, Damon Wilder moves to a sleepy coastal community to hide from his enemies. Damon is just going through the motions until the day he hears of the return of Sarah Drake, the town's favorite daughter. Intrigued by the fantastical tales of Sarah's feats, Damon sets off to meet this paragon and finds his fate. A life filled with magic has prepared security expert Sarah Drake to meet every challenge, but she never counted on her new assignment setting in motion an old family prophecy. Can Sarah save Damon from his enemies and fulfill their destiny?
A murderer is loose in Katherine Sucliffe's HOT AUGUST MOON. Now, however, he has not only killed several prostitutes, but also the wife and two young children of assistant district attorney J.D. Damascus. J.D.'s best friend and colleague, Jerry Costos, is under heavy pressure to find the killer, so he asks the FBI to send a profiler to help with the case. Never does he expect the profiler assigned to be Anna Travelli, his former lover. For Anna, it's bad enough to put up with the testosterone-laden attitudes of the detectives who aren't happy to have her butting in on their case, but she's also got a secret she must keep hidden from Jerry. It's going to be a long, hot summer in New Orleans.
It's a case of long overdue passion in Fiona Brand's AFTER MIDNIGHT. Jane O'Reilly and Michael Rider never meant to fall in love, but they did. It was sudden, it was passionate and it was wrong, for each were married to other people. Tacitly agreeing to part, they went their separate ways seven years ago. Now Jane is a widow and Michael has returned, determined to finally claim his woman. There's just one hitch to his plans. There's a rapist and murderer loose in their town, and he's just become the main suspect. But even as Michael fights to clear his name, danger is stalking Jane.
Eileen Wilks' ONLY HUMAN takes us to San Diego in an altogether different reality. In this San Diego, magic is real and paranormal creatures exist, along with human prejudices. Homicide detective Lily Yu has her hands full. Not only does she have to deal with the disapproval of her large family over her career, said career is on the line if she doesn't solve the series of grisly murders terrorizing the city. When evidence suggests the murderer is a werewolf, Lily is told to work with Rule Turner, prince of the Clan Nokolai, the area's largest lupine community. It's instant attraction between the two, but can they overcome the cultural differences between their species (and families) to make it work?
Madness, mayhem and murder abound in varying degrees in the LOVER BEWARE anthology. Christine Feehan delights with her whimsical tale of seven bewitching sisters (one can easily predict that the Drake siblings will be a fun series), while Eileen Wilks' lupine world will leave readers begging for more. Although Katherine Sutcliffe does a stellar job of delving into the dark abyss of a murderer's mind, this story is too closely tied with her single title, BAD MOON RISING, to be able to stand as a separate story. Surprisingly, Fiona Brand proves to be the weakest link in this anthology. While Ms. Brand's characters are compelling and the story has promise, as a whole her tale appears rushed and lacks true substance. Nevertheless, LOVER BEWARE should provide fans of these authors with a delicious shiver...or two.

If you ever saw Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins and Keanu Reeves Dracula. Describes her Dark Series to a tee. I love her books. Makes you feel sorry for Dracula. See the movie and you will know what I'm talking about.

I'm a huge fan of Christine Feehan -- I own all of her books, two copies of some -- and that's why I purchased "Lover Beware." I do wish, however, that she would eschew short stories and novellas and stick with her wonderful full-length novels. Her short stories allow for neither character nor plot development. This story could have been so much more. I'll continue to purchase any book with Ms. Feehan's name on the cover, but I believe that her best body of work are the full-length Dark novels.
The other stories in the book were akin to excerpts and were clearly crying, "Buy the sequel!"

Lover, Beware has a very good set of intriguing stories. The very first one by Christine Feehan is my absolute favorite Magic in the Wind about a group of seven sisters and their adventures. This one is out Sarah the oldest and her relationship with Damon her soon to be lover. The second Hot August Moon by Katherine Sutcliff was to me the hardest one to get into. I think of the four this one was the weakest for me, I also think that because it was pre-equal to her book Bad Moon Rising I may have just not connected with it. The third was by Fiona Brand After was also to me a very interesting read. The final story by Eileen Wilks Only Human is my second favorite. Lily reminds me of a very naive Anita Blake and Rule who is a very hunky and good looking werewolf has a real interest in Lily who is a detective looking into several murders. A very likable and interesting story. I hope that these four get together again and do another anthology. Maybe a continuation of these stories. Please Christine write more of 7 sisters stories,and Eileen a continuation of Lily and Rule. Please.....................
