Reviews

On the brink of perfection!


(5 stars)

Outstanding stories, all different, all engrossing, with heartfelt readers, until the very last, thankfully short story, of the unheroic "prince" getting his lady love pretty much by pitching one hissy after another until his way was got. This is an upside-down story and a sour note to go out on. But the others! I'll listen many times to these.
