I fell in LOVE with this anthology! I greatly appreciate that the stories are divided by ‘Heat Levels’ in the beginning so you have a little peek of what you’re getting yourself into. The first that I thoroughly enjoyed was The Alien & The Crime Boss by Naomi Valkyrie, which was categorized under ‘Heat Level 2’. I definitely felt like it was properly labeled as such. You are dropped right into the action in the beginning, and I always like stories with dual point-of-view, which Valkyrie does a stunningly great job with. You will be fully invested in Kasper and Leilphun’s journey.
The second story I was drawn to was My Boss is an Alien by Ashlyn Hawkes. This was appropriately labeled as ‘Heat Level 4’ which did NOT disappoint in terms of spice. It is also told in the dual point-of-view, which I enjoyed. This entire collection is amazing, you should definitely pick it up because you’re bound to find at least one that is right up your alley!
