Wendy had worked hard to get her present position. She could lose the promotion if she doesn't marry her boss. So why is her brother's best friend, Peter, looking so good? Peter knows that Wendy thinks he doesn't take life as seriously as she wants but there are sides of him she doesn't know anything about. When Wendy hears him play the sax at a club, she finds herself hoping that they can make beautiful music together.

I can't say enough about this anthology. It delighted me from the first story to the end. The authors were able to take traditional fairy tales and made them their own. They are now definitely adult fairytales. They are hot and sexy and filled with women who can take care of themselves and men who loved them for it. Each story is unique but I have to say I loved the Dorks from Snow White and the Seven Dorks. Happy on Prozac and all the other dorks' phobias had me laughing out loud. This is definitely a keeper. Don't pass this anthology up. Buy it now!
