This collection was a fun reward for the utter angst that was book 2. There are 4 short stories here that explore some relationships that we've seen in the series so far, and some new ones too. My favorite one was the Maggie/Zane story since I had a lot of questions about their complicated relationship. It didn't give all the answers, but it was a good peak.

Not all of the stories end on a happy note--all of the sex is consensual, but some is bittersweet. This collection is mainly just sex and some character discussions, so if you're looking for intense character development or plot, you will not find that here.

Tropes: 4 m/f couples; rock star romance; steamy short story collection; crude language and sexy times throughout; exhibitionism/sex in public; drug use.

Heat rating: NUCLEAR—explicit sex, indelicate language during sex, and graphic depictions of a sexual nature used to further the story; may also include light kink; not quite enough for an EXPLICIT level (5), but takes it a level past HOT (3).
