I wanted to read this book because it featured SOOOO many great authors, and I was pleasantly surprised to find SOOO many other great authors who contributed to this anthology. I love romances and this, being comprised of short stories, boiled each story down to its romantic essence, while still being able to provide a great and complete story experience. This was a collection of first times -- first time they said "I love You", first time they fell in love, and many other more obvious first times. All the stories were very sweet, and I have to admit, my cheeks were sore from all the smiling. A great anthology and I made a new list of authors to check out too.
