A mixed bag of stories in this, I really enjoyed the first one, Wishful Thinking by Jane Feather, Rosie Belmont passes herself off as male to be respected by the scientific community and problems arise when a fellow scientist visits to discuss her theories. Nice light story, I think she has expanded it elsewhere.

THe Blackmoor Devil by Patricia Coughlin is a story of a rake purchasing a love spell from a witch and finding old love.

The Natural Child by Sharon & Tom Curtis involves a lady finding herself in trouble after a spell lands her in the bedroom of a notorious rake.

Bewitched by Elizabeth Elliott is about choices and what is right for a person rather than right for society.

Forever by Patria Potter, a smuggler finds herself dealing with secrets and strangers.

Unwanted Bride by Suzanne Robinson involves an offer of marriage to the wrong woman but she might be the right woman after all.

Not bad stories, nothing really stood out for me. ( )
