***Full review now posted***
Overall this was a fun little treat!
Here's the Breakdown:
1) Charming Bastard: A Novella
This was the longest "novella" in the book and, quite frankly, could have been a truly awesome full length novel.
It was a VERY good read and I really enjoyed it.
However, the ending happened so abruptly it was like a smack in the face and I felt like this:
That means cast effin' adrift, homies.
2) Sticky Sweet: A Short Story
This was basically just a scene from the first book in the series Reaper's Property, which depicts exactly what happened in that book when Horse and Marie meet.
But from Horse's point of view.
Or as I like to call it, the ole "Alternate POV BS Double Dip" wherein which the author goes back to honey well and double dips the money chip under the guise of:
1) "Travis Remy Grey [Insert your H name of choice]'s story just NEEDED to be heard."
2) "I just wasn't ready to let go ofTravis Remy Grey [Insert your H name of choice] yet."
3) "People wanted MORETravis Remy Grey [Insert your H name of choice] and I just HAD to give it to them."
Anybullshit, this was a cute enough read and VERY short.
Perfect for those mornings, after breakfast and coffee, when your body is ready to "commune with nature."

3) NEW Skunked: A Short Story
This was a NEW scene depicting Horse and Marie.
Also very short.
Also very cute.
Also from Horse's POV.
His POV mainly being :
4) NEW Sugar and Spice: A Short Story
This is a prequel to the upcoming Reaper's Fall.
It depicts Melanie and Painter and is also VERY short.
And very boring quite honestly.
This is basically in here to drum up interest for the upcoming new book.
Which I totally respect and understand.
However, my interest doesn't need any "drumming" as I am already a one woman fucking drum line in my anticipation for this book.
Other than that, there are some cute little asides from the author as well as some recipes.
Which is great and all, but anyone who know me knows my philosophy on cooking:
*
*
*
Meaning I obviously read those with the utmost diligence.
*snort*
In order to avoid the need for a Fire Department call out - which is what happened LAST time I attempted to bake (you think I'm joking, but I'm not...that's what happens when you assume the "broiler" is a handy "storage area" for extra grocery store bags that never really carried any actual fucking groceries) - I will leave the cooking to all of you, dear GR friends.
Like I said, overall this was a fun little collection.
I had fun reading it and all my fellow lovers of this series will also.
