These were mostly pretty good! I think my favorite one was the sea turtle story.

Thirteen short stories of high quality. Four stood out to me.
Pura Vida a tale of holiday romance when a young American lad meets a local Costa Rican and is attracted to him. This is a lovely story of young love that manages to overcome separation, social differences and engender a love of baby turtles.
Triple Jump a MMM cat shifter story. Jeff and Patrick are having no luck in finding a third to join their relationship. While spending a quiet weekend camping, they meet Taylor and realise he is the one. Taylor however has a secret, one they might not be able to overcome.
Playing for Keeps a MMM college sport story. Trent, a college football player, lives with his lovers Brock and AJ. He is firmly in the closet but somehow rumours start and his lovers are threatened. Will Trent deny his partners and look out for number one or will he open the closet door and perhaps lose any chance of furthering his sporting career. This story has a sequel that I am definitely going to read.
Fated is a historical, pnr bear shifter/seer story set in Olde Scotland. Apparently Lexi Ander wrote this quickly to save the prompt but its quality isn't diminished. Unfortunately there is no sequel to this as the story sets an excellent base for a series.
There are other equally great stories in this anthology but these are the ones I remember the most when looking at my notes.

There was a bit of everything in this volume, so 3 stars seemed appropriate.
