I'm a fan of Vicki Lewis Thompson. She's another one of 'my' authors who does humor well and can write a steamy love scene. My problem with this anthology is the extreme difference in writers, tone, and mood. "Winter Heat" is an anthology with three stories connected by setting about the opening of a resort in Colorado.

"Weekend Fling" by Vicki Lewis Thompson. A friends to lovers tale that will leave you with a smile on your face.

"Weekend Tigress" by Jade Lee. A hot, but angst-filled story about a security agent and a tigress-in-training. Still interesting and filled with Asian mysticism.

"Weekend Meltdown" by Anna DeStefano. She's a lawyer pretending to be wild to get over her ex. He's the PR closer hired to promote a more romantic tone. They're working at cross purposes from day one yet their attraction has them breaking all their own rules.

Because of the extreme differences in the stories, this anthology left me feeling confused and NOT romanced or mellow. ( )
