Read a couple of the short stories today: Lap Dance and Her Very Special Robot. Both would be good beach reads, and both are erotic reads, although they are extremely short. Overall, I liked them both, and gave them 3 stars.

I finished Against All Odds late last night. I have to say, the writing was good, and it kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen. However, the pacing felt off to me. The book dragged, to the point where it took me two days to read it and I wanted to DNF it a couple of different times. I am hoping it is a fluke for this book, as the second book in the series was deeply discounted yesterday and I picked it up. It is a 2.5 star read for me, that I am rounding up to 3 stars.
