I've read a few of the author's novels and have generally been impressed. I had high hopes for this collection of stories. I enjoyed every story on offer, some slightly more than others. Edward Rooney is a character in the author's novel Follow You Home which I own but haven't read. I really enjoyed Consenting Adults so Follow You Home has been moved to the top of my TBR list. Guardian Angel is full of sinister overtones as it becomes clear the messages for Laura may not be as romantic as they first seem. Kissing Games is the stand-out story which has supernatural overtones as well. It's a dark delight.
