Romance lovers the world over can rejoice in this fantastic volume of short stories. Based on obscure and little known laws, each tale of romance centers around one of the laws. It's a fascinating concept for an anthology and one guaranteed to spark some imaginative scenarios!

Sixteen writers, producing twenty-four awesome stories, gave of their time and efforts to aid in finding a cure for breast cancer. There's reason enough in my mind to purchase this volume. Think about it though-twenty-four romance stories-that's quite a bargain! From break out authors DeborahAnne MacGillivray and Leanne Burroughs to fantastic new authors like Kristi Ahlers and Jacquie Rogers, there's plenty here for any type of romance fan.

It was interesting to see what so many different authors could put together in one volume. From Scottish mountain cats in eye patches to travel agent fairies and shady angels, this volume runs the gamut of romance reading fun. Whatever your romance style; contemporary, paranormal, historical, it's all here waiting for you. Get a copy today and curl up on the couch with it. Read it at the gym or enjoy it on a sunny day at the park-however you like to read, just get it and prepare to enjoy! Be on the look out for all these rising romance writers. I predict many happy hours of reading pleasure from their stories and books alone!

This brilliant anthology has that unique ability to make you feel good. Firstly, the reader feels pleased that just by buying the book she is doing good, as all profits go to breast cancer research. However, secondly, and more importantly, the reader is given a thoroughly diverse group of short stories to enjoy - all written by some talented authors!
If you buy this book you will laugh and smile and nod your head in complete understanding as a whole bunch of true-to-life characters take you on some very crazy but always entertaining journeys!
Everyone should have a copy of this book!

No Law Against Love is a delightful anthology about love and some silly laws still on the books. Sixteen writers and twentyfour different stories all revolving around a silly law and how that law brings a couple--or two or three couples--together. Each author picked her own silly law to write about, and some of the results are hilarious. Some bring a tear to the eye. Some of the stories are contemporary, some historical, some fantasy. All are wonderful. I can't wait for the next anthology, No Law Against Love II. As an added inducement, all the authors agreed to pass on their payment, donating their profits to fight breast cancer. What a wonderful gift!
