November 14, 2006: Brenda Jackson, Joylynn Jossell, Kayla Perrin and Tamara Sneed have done there thing in this book. Each author has developed great characters plus romantic and pleasurable stories. One of the pet peeves that I have regarding short stories is that once a story pulls you in it quickly spits you out while leaving you wanting more. 'The Hunter' by Brenda Jackson is about sexy Hunter who is a P.I. by trade and a playa by choice. His ex girlfriend Mallory ended their four months affair six months ago because he was not ready for a commitment. Now she wants him to investigate her brother-in-law who she fears is cheating on her sister after seeing him at the Hilton as a result to this old feelings spark right back up. After reading this I was quite please. Brenda did not disappoint me on this story. 'Just Wanna Love Ya' by Joylynn Jossel is about party girl Jai who goes out every Friday to ?Club Cream? for her weekly fix. But what she finds in Sloan might be all the medicine she needs because later on he overtly shows her how much he desires her. This wasn?t bad but was least of my favorites and was my first read by this author. In 'Never Satisfied' by Kayla Perrin we have single Amani who is tired of the blind dates and one-night stands. But those days are over when an old crush returns to rekindle her flame, Amani still fantasizes over her high school senior year teacher Aaron although a decade has passed. No man she has met before or since measures up to him, but although he was not much older than her he rejected her advances. As he steps in ?Coffee, Tea, and Me? where she works and the reality is even better than her fantasy?s. Kayla did a great job with this story and ended up being one of my favorites. I just wish it was a full fledge book because there was so much to tell from what these characters were going through. Finally we have 'Fantasy Man' by Tamara Sneed. We have Olivia, who reluctantly serves as PR specialist to Hollywood action hero Clark. He prefers not to have her as his escort as she has been outrageously rude to him at her family gatherings. Meanwhile we fine the dinner plans for VIP Clark Stone can?t compete with his plans for the pleasure afterwards. This story was really good and was my second favorite. This was the first time reading from this author as well. The barn scene was hot makes you want to fine a farm nearby. ?An All Night Man? is sure to make its readers pull an all-nighter. The stories here were all so different. They all worked with the same theme yet each author approached it in such a wide range of variety. I enjoyed the book and I think other readers will too.

April 25, 2005: These four authors are great! An All Night man shows the ups and downs of getting what you want, when you want. I believe that Brenda Jackson's book was the bomb!
