MY REVIEW:

When I first heard about this anthology, I was very excited because I love New Orleans and have been there so many times that I consider it my second home.  Many of these authors are new to me, so I was eager to read what they had to say about romance in the Big Easy. 

What a diversity of stories and situations.  A Bite and A Mark: A Story from the Grid is about a young man who wakes up finding himself handcuffed to a vegetarian vampire who also has no idea how they got there. 

Her Revenge is about how a wife gets back at her husband for cheating on her; Enemy Mine stars a Federal Cavalry Officer in occupied New Orleans who comes to the rescue of a young southern virgin, who  because of poverty, decides to become a prostitute; Serendipity is a charming story about a widow who literally takes a bullet for a powerful man she's never met before; and Blame It on the Spring Fling is a fun story about a young woman who makes love potions and fears that her old love, a vampire, only has feelings for her (and become her "Love Zombie") because he's accidentally cut himself on broken bottles of her concoctions.

The two stories that resonated with me the most were The French Quarter Queen and Redemption in New Orleans.  Both stories were so evocative of the city that I felt I was right there with them. I love stories about lovers getting a second chance and the characters in these stories are complicated and relatable.  One of the stories ends in a shocking way (I won't tell you which one).  

If you like happily-ever-afters and marriage proposals, you'll enjoy these stories. They're definitely worth a read.
