I bought it for the JD Robb story and it was good. Unfortunately I couldn't even get through the next two short stories. They are both horrible. Obnoxiously stupid characters, lame references to Suite 606 (the tie binding all the stories) and zero compelling plot... but after reading the reviews here I might go back and read the last story. It sounds slightly more interesting.

Once again, Nora and her girlfriends have put out another anthology.
4 stories with an odd connecting device, the idea of a Suite 606 and the time travelers from the last story, popping into the others.
The Eve Dallas story is more of what you expect from the series, no surprises here. You could miss this and not notice but if you are a fan of the series, you'll want to pick it up for completeness. A short reference to Louise's shower is the only personal note.
A ghost story from Mary Blayney is a tough read, the motivations are not at all clear and the heroine is TSTL.
The Ruth Ryan Langan story is better with a cop who is drawn into an old murder. The idea is great, but the hero turned me off at the end by getting over it all way too quickly.
The Mary Kay McComas story is last, with the time travelers that ran through the other stories. I enjoyed this one, although it would have benefited from being longer, with more adventure and a more reasonable time frame for the leads to fall in love.
Overall, average, but entertaining.

JD Robb contributes a great dark story. And there's Roarke; enough said. Love Endures is about a cheeky ghost who must right past wrongs, except he's a habitual liar. Cold Case was a creepy thriller with lust, love and mystery. Wayward Wizard was a winsome tale with great character interaction. Great read.
