My Thoughts: Anthologies are a great way to sample the work of authors who are unfamiliar. These authors are all new to me. These all have heroes meeting their destined mates but are quite different in other plot points although all do have nicely spicy scenes. I liked the variety of these stories. All of the characters were interesting and as well-developed as characters can be given the novella length format. My favorite story was by Langlais because I liked the humor. I liked Shawna from Milly Taiden's story because she has some body issues that she is dealing with.

Bearing His Touch by Eve Langlais - Bekah has been kidnapped by someone who wants her for her rare blood type. She escapes and finds herself rescued by Stavros who happens to be a bear shifter. She's worried that she will bring trouble to him. He says "Bring it on" since Bekah is obviously his mate. Convincing her to let him help and let him love her isn't easy.

Fake Mated to the Wolf by Milly Taiden -- Shawna is a computer programmer who is responsible for the matchmaking software used by her company.

When Hawke, who owns the company and who is Shawna's mate, finds out about this, he rushes to the rescue. But doesn't mention that she's his mate which adds confusion to a situation that is already complicated.
