"A laugh out loud funny anthology!"

These three stories in this anthology were absolutely fabulous reads. I giggled and I laughed out loud, garnering very strange looks from a room full of people at my daughter's orthodontist but I didn't care as I was so immersed in these stories.

Bird of Paradise by Katie MacAlister is an absolute comedy of errors. If things can go wrong, they will. Take a reality game show that tries to match a man and a woman till the bitter end where they will win a trip to paradise and a million dollars. This first story is about Hero and Adam who were absolutely made for each other even though they fight it tooth and nail. Add a suicidal cat named Jesus, of all things, and his friend, the gecko, and you have the vacation from hell. Nothing is what it seems but all in all, this was a laugh out loud story.

Breaking The Rules Jennifer Archer tells us the story of Claire and Mitch. Claire and her fiancé James are contestants in this crazy contest. It was all James' idea so they could become closer but it just isn't working that way. Take Mitch, a cameraman who is trying to get the head honcho to notice him and throw them together. What you get is a wonderful happy every after.

Hot Shot by Sheridon Smythe is Whitney and Rand's story. Whitney is there because the father she never knew is the host of the show and Rand is there because of his deceased wife's crazy will. When "Ice Cuba" Whitney meets Rand, they talk over their situations and decide maybe they can help each other but what they don't count on is their feelings for each other.

This anthology is a must read for those who enjoy romantic comedy because this one will make you smile, giggle and just belly laugh. I highly recommend this one.
