About book The Mammoth Book Of Special Ops Romance (2010)
I only read the stories by Shannon K. Butcher, Charlene Teglia, Jordan Summers, and Sydney Croft.The Croft story is the only one that is set within a series, you should read the ARCO series to understand this one.The others were just fun sexy stories where someone is in danger and needs rescuing bring a couple together where they realize they can't live without each other. A light fun read. *This rating is only for the Sydney Croft story, Code Word: Storm*Immediately one of my all-time keepers simply because this short story entry by Sydney Croft centers on my all-time favorite romance couple, Creed and Annika from the successful paranormal series about a secret government agency ACRO that employs agents with special abilities to capture some of the deadliest, most dangerous criminals on the planet. In this story, which is set between book 1 Riding the Storm and book 2 Unleashing the Storm, Annika and Creed are once again deployed on a mission together. This is a problem since they hate each other. Even bigger problem is that they're secretly hot as hell for each other, and in a cruel twist of fate, ghost whisperer Creed is the only man Annika, who possesses a powerful electric ability, can sleep with.I loved this story because in a very limited number of pages it showcases all the best aspects of this couple and their relationship, as well as the series as a whole. Annika is trying awfully hard to maintain her hostility, but as she's coming to depend on Creed, and not just on missions, we see amazing character development. They work well together, and they definitely play well together. I was impressed that there was a love scene within the parameters of such a tight page limit, and one no less that moved the story forward and really served a purpose. Finally, the best part of all comes at the very end, when we see how close these two really have become, how Annika is melting and Creed is falling, on their way to being the most incredible couple I have ever read.

Only read ACRO #4.5, a super short mission for Creed and Annika, but as always, I love these two!

A good mix of short stories. If you want a quick 30min read this is worth a go! :)
