This turned out to be my favorite story in the anthology,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Hearts-from-the-Ashes/dp/159998346X/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Hearts from the Ashes</a>.  I found the idea of an alpha and omega werewolf romance to be refreshing.  Yes, Laney is very much like an uke in a traditional yaoi story - but, I like yaoi.  He is a little effeminate, which may seem stereotypical, but there are men like this. Certainly not all gay men, or even all "bottoms."  Yet, I rarely see readers griping about how so many romances have strong, handsome men either - why aren't they short and ugly to avoid being stereotypical? Because this is a fantasy romance not real life!  Laney's clumsiness is a little over the top, but his relationship with Dev is sweet and hot.  I would have liked the characters to be more developed, but this is a short story not a novel.  Langley sets the stage for her "With or Without" werewolf series, which gets more depth in the next two novels.
