Review # 1 was written on 2008-01-08 00:00:00 Stella Bautista Spellbound by Nora Roberts This was a nice short story, neither great nor bad. Likeable characters, interesting plot, all in all a solid short story. My only problem was it took place in only one day and the end was a little abrupt, but I can get over that. I tend to forgive more easily with short stories. 7/10 Castle Doom by Jill Gregory I enjoyed this short story immensely! Arianne and Nicholas were wonderful, the story was very interesting, and it moved along rather believably. I don't have any problems with this story other than I thought it would make a great full-length novel. 9/10 Falcon's Lair by Ruth Ryan Langan Another lovely story, though a bit rushed at the end. Felicity was a terrific heroine and the gothic-style plot outside of the romance was great. Unfortunately, I thought the romance fell short; Felicity and Gareth were hardly together yet they professed their love to each other fairly soon. I would have gladly forgone the love scene so the author could have developed their relationship more. If I ignore that one thing I still very much enjoyed this story, especially with the wonderful secondary characters. I would have liked to read further and since I don't want to ruin it for future readers I won't say anything more. :) 8/10 Dragonspell by Marianne Willman In a great anthology, they saved the best for last, because I absolutely loved this story! Wonderful characters, plot, everything, I can't even think of the words to describe it. I particularly liked the sorceress and wizard, they added a touch of humor to the story. I just cannot do this story justice, especially since words are escaping me! :P 10/10 Overall 4.5 stars
