Fateful Fieldtrip – Emma Bruce
Suzanne Tate is a museum curator. Her favourite exhibit is the astrology section, where the different signs hang suspended from the ceiling. A Virgo herself, she follows the horoscopes and really knows her stuff about each of the signs. Having had a bad relationship, she is somewhat wary of getting emotionally close to someone again, though her ex was an Aquarius. That should have told her something. An Aquarius is the worst possible match for a Virgo. When she meets Tim Mitchell, a substitute teacher escorting ten years olds on a museum trip, she helps him when he has a dizzy turn in the journey through the birth process display room. Though many people tend to feel nauseated at the display, Suzanne doesn’t help them, leaving aid to the technicians. Why she helps Tim is a complete mystery to her, as is the strange feeling she has towards him and the way they seem to just…click. She invites him back to museum that night, where they have a picnic – and scorching hot sex – beneath the Constellations and Zodiac display. But whilst the attraction between them sizzles, will any possible relationship between them fizzle out before the morning sunrise?
Blink Of An Eye – Keira Ramsay
Cassidy Thompson owns her own business, Cassidy’s Cuppa Cafe, in Oklahoma. Having lost her fiancé Brian years ago in the Murrah bombings, she has been determined not to get emotionally involved with another man for fear of being devastated in the same way again. When Scott Carnes walks into her coffee shop late one stormy night near closing, she is knocked for a loop by the attraction she feels towards him – especially since he is significantly younger than her. Sensing he has suffered through some trauma, though not in the least put off by his missing an eye, she is unprepared for the flirtation he engages her in. Feeling more attracted to him than anyone in years, she does something she never has before – she has a one-nighter with a stranger. The sex is scorching and wears them both out. She is unsurprised, though slightly hurt, when he creeps out before she awakens in the morning without so much as a goodbye. But is this the end for this pair, one older in years, one aged beyond his years through his experiences as an Air Force Para-rescuer? Will a natural disaster show them the way forward?
Fateful Fieldtrip and Blink Of An Eye are both a part of The Zodiac Series, this sign being Virgo. Though rather short, they are nevertheless still rather enjoyable. I have found great entertainment as I read the series in finding out how the individual authors link their stories to the series. Some of these ways are pure inventiveness on the part of the author. In this particular anthology one couple get down and dirty under the Zodiac signs in a museum display (highly unusual and original in the series). The other is linked by way of the character reading their horoscope, which is used more commonly throughout the series, each author putting together their own unique horoscope to foretell the character’s romantic chances. In both of these tales, the characters had some obstacle to get past, be it age difference or wariness of a relationship. Though seemingly small, these problems are not always surmountable. Thankfully, these very likeable characters, who are all reasonably developed, break past their insecurities to give a long term relationship a try. Both tales have a happy ending; I especially love the insight given four years down the line into how Cassidy and Scott are doing. Virgo is a great edition to The Zodiac Series. Anyone following this set of linked tales should make this an addition on their to buy list.
