Tails of Love is an anthology edited by Lori Foster and Stella Cameron, of romantic stories involving animals. More specifically, couples somehow brought together by the intervention of animals. Since a couple of the books I’ve read recently have had highly arrogant, aggressive, and even abusive male leads, it was nice to have some sweet romance for a change. And if you’re looking for sweet, sappy romance, you won’t get much better than Tails of Love! I lost track of the number of times this book brought tears to my eyes.

As always when dealing with an anthology you’ll probably find one or two stories that won’t suit you. However, I was amazed at the consistent quality in this particular one. I only found, I think, one story that I didn’t particularly like.
