April 29, 2006: You might forget that Highland Press is donating all of the proceeds from No Law Against Love to breast cancer research, but you will never forget the brilliant characters that come to life under the passionate pens of 16 romance authors. While reading this anthology, prepare to break out in a sweat, bust out laughing and break all of the molds as far as romantic short stories are concerned. I was surprised, entranced and enamored of this fun book, but it will curl your toes if you?re not careful. You never know what is coming next, but you will embrace each twist and turn of the page, while falling in love over and over again with each couple?s romantic tale of adventure. And, while the journey to each heart may be short, the ride is nothing short of powerful, poignant and passion-filled. The delightful mix of stories, which center around silly laws still in existence, takes you on a wild dance through the lives of numerous men and women who find love despite themselves and the bizarre situations and laws threaded throughout each of the lively chapters. The authors and their characters cut the rug on the dance floor of readers? hearts and take us to their worlds, where cats aren?t the only ones who get stroked and officers of the law make sure the world knows there?s certainly No Law Against Love.

February 20, 2006: Take sixteen very talented authors mix in some of the most arcane and ridiculous laws that ever existed (some still on the books today) ? mix them all up and you are in for an unbelievably rollicking good time! Yet, the best and most important thing to remember is that these wonderful ladies are doing this all in the name of charity. All proceeds that could have been theirs will be donated to the American Cancer Society for Breast Cancer Research. ************* The stories run the gamut of genres, from contemporary, historical, fantasy, in short there is bit of just about anything you can think of that will tickle your fancy and pertain to one of the ridiculous laws. ********* DeborahAnne MacGillivary opens the stage with a very sensual tale of `Bad Cat? when she tackles the Destin, Florida law of `Any dog or cat which attacks and bites a person or another animal without provocation, shall be deemed a `bad dog or `bad cat? and the owner shall pay civil penalty of one hundred dollars?. Burroughs gives you a sinfully sweet taste of sensuality with `Chocolate in the Afternoon? when she takes on one of Great Britain?s laws that says ? `It?s illegal for a lady to eat chocolates on a public conveyance?. Watch out for the law in North Carolina that Cissy Hassell had a ball with ? `If a man and a woman who are not married, go to a hotel/motel and register themselves as Mr. & Mrs, according to state law they are then legally married!? These and many others, from smart-alecky `shady angels? `lost faeries? and `fighting Scots? can all be found in this wonderful anthology . ********* These stories and others from the other talented contributing authors of Kristi Ahlers, Cheryl Alldredge, Rekha Ambardar, susan Barclay, Patty Howell, Victoria Oliveri, Jacquie Rogers, Jennifer Ross, M. J. Sager, Michelle Scaplen, Kemberlee Shortland, Jeanne Van Arisdall, and Diane Davis White have combined to make this one unforgettable, funny and sensual delight. This book comes highly recommended!
