I generally only do reviews if a book is really bad (as a warning to other potential buyers), or really good. This book is middle of the road, but because of the price I decided to review it because I don't think it was good enough for the premium price. Other reviewers have provided story lines so I'll skip that, here are ratings and a few comments.

3.5* for Lora Leigh--An Inconvenient Mate: This was a decent Breed short story. As always with a short story I'm left wanting more backstory and plot development. I've read a lot of the Breed books so it's hard for me to say if this would appeal to someone who hasn't read a few at least. I was a little confused as to why Leigh put so much effort into Malachi exercising such discipline in waiting to claim his mate, for the good of the Breeds. I was sure that it would somehow be relevant but he claims her the next day without any fateful events.

3.0* for Virginia Kantra--Upon a Midnight Clear: Historicals are not my favorite, this one was OK but spent too much time detailing the period customs for a short story. The plot was predictable. I did like Aimee's positive attitude and the life lessons Lucien learned from her.

3.0* for Eileen Wilks--Human Error: Not enough romance for my tastes but an interesting story with a good plot. This is clearly part of a series that I have not read so it was a little hard to follow with so many supernaturals and magical abilities.

3.0* for Kimberley Frost--First Light: Also appears to be part of a series (that I haven't read). The fantasy world plot is quite complex and hard to follow which doesn't leave space for much else in a short story. Didn't feel the chemistry between the characters.

Tied with a Bow Lora Leigh Virginia Kantra Eileen Wilks Kimberly Frost 9780425243299 Books Reviews

Excellent Stories
Good scifi story line. No thinking required.
An Inconvenient Mate by Lora Leigh is First Rate (*5 stars)! Always love her "Breed" books. Can't wait for the next one! Lots of passion and the words burn up the pages.

Human Error by Wileen Wilks is not one of her best novels. Too short and tried to get too much in the few pages. No heat and no passion, but enough mystery and action to hold interest.

First Light by Kimberly Frost refreshing and a very easy read. Just enough action and mystery to keep it interesting, with passion and heat.

Upon a Midnight Clear by Virginia a period piece with fallen angels and not enough action to hold my interest for very long. Read a few pages and skip to a new novel and come back when I have nothing else to read. Just takes up time. Not even well written.
A new author and several well liked author showing bits of familiar characters from series I Have read.
Great reads and wonderful insites to these characters. The stories were all well done and complete in themselves.plus I found a new author to read. Always a plus.
I bought this book mainly for Lora Leigh and Eileen Wilks stories. I loved three of the stories, but couldn't get into Kantra's story. I'm not big on historical stories. But the other three were very well done. I won't go into the story lines because all of the other people reviewing the book have done that. However, a fun, enjoyable book, especially just before the holidays!
I am a devoted fan of Eileen Wilks, creator of the Lupi world, and I wanted to read more about Benedict and Arjenie , who first appeared in "Blood Challenge". I didn't know any of the other writers who appeared in "Tied with a Bow" (this name is taken from a sentence in the first story), and I really do not regret not having read any of them before. Nor do I want to read anything by them hereafter. The Wilks story is excellent, well written, with wonderful characters, an intriguing paranormal mystery very well resolved and a charming Jack Russell Terrier to make things livelier. As for the other stories, the less said the better. "An inconvenient mate" is pure hard porn. If you like that, OK, but if you want something interesting to read, you'd better skip it. I kept turning over the pages to see where the story continued, but for every 6 pages of porn, you maybe got half a page of plotline. The other two stories are unoriginal and boring, and heavy in the soft porn area too. If I were you, I'd wait for Eileen Wilks to publish her story independently, as she did with "Inhuman". Unless, like me, you can't really wait to read Wilks¨s story, please, do not buy this book!!!
As an anthology, I'd only give this one 3 stars. In reality, just save your money for the the short story from the author you'd like to read. So many especials are coming out now where you can just purchase the one in the anthology you like, don't spend $9.99 on this one. I bought the book for the Eileen Wilks short story about Benedict and Arjene, which was a nice little diversion/addition to the rest of the Lupi world. I'd give it 4 stars.

But the other 3 were lacking for me. Kimberly Frost's short was at least entertaining and I may end up checking into other works by her; but the other 2 stories didn't have much substance. If you want to read any one of the stories in particular, wait for the especial. Or, just stop by your local bookstore, read the short your interested in and put the book back on the shelf. There's not enough going on in this anthology that you're going to want to keep it as part of your collections and it's not worth the publisher's price for all 4 of them.
