To warm your heart!

This brilliant anthology has that unique ability to make you feel good. Firstly, the reader feels pleased that just by buying the book she is doing good, as all profits go to breast cancer research. However, secondly, and more importantly, the reader is given a thoroughly diverse group of short stories to enjoy - all written by some talented authors! If you buy this book you will laugh and smile and nod your head in complete understanding as a whole bunch of true-to-life characters take you on some very crazy but always entertaining journeys! Everyone should have a copy of this book!

Delightful Mix of Love and Silly Laws!

No Law Against Love is a delihgtful anthology about love and some of the silly laws on the books. Sixteen writers and twentyfour different stories all revolving around a silly law and how that law brings a couple--or two or three couples-together. Each author picked her own silly law to write about, and some of the results are hilarious. Some bring a tear to the eye. Some of the stories are contemporary, some historical, some fantasy. All are wonderful. I can't wait for the next anthology, No Law Against Love II. As an added inducement, all the authors agreed to pass on their payment, donating their profits to fight breast cancer. What a wonderful gift!

More More More

I just finished Reading the E-book And I want more more more. The 16 authors who wrote stories did an awsome job with taking those silly laws and putting a twist of romance on it. Wow all the authors and editors donated their time energy and creativity to help out an awsome cause breast cancer. I hope that there will be a second or third anthology of these silly obscure laws.

Something for everyone.

If you have ever found yourself rolling your eyes at some of the more stupid laws, then you are going to adore this novel. Over twenty-five stories fill up this anthology, each one dealing with at least one stupid or outdated law. Let me give you an example: In Florida, USA, there is a law that states "If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle." In Great Britain, "A license is required to keep a lunatic." Yes, you read those correctly. No matter how many times you go back and reread them, the words will remain the same. Those two laws are still legal. Most of the crazy laws in these wonderful stories are still legal. The tales vary in time and place. Some take place in the present date, in the past, in the USA, in England, may contain magic... in other words, there is something for everyone! You simply cannot go wrong. Best yet, all profits from the sales of this novel go to breast cancer prevention. The anthology is not made up of unknown authors either. Here is a list of the seventeen authors (in order of appearance) that contributed stories for you to enjoy: DeborahAnne MacGillivray, Leanne Burroughs, M.J. Sager, Cheryl Alldredge, Marly Mathews, Jeanne VanArsdall, Victoria Oliveri, Cissy Hassell, Kemberlee Shortland, Diane Davis White, Rekha Ambardar, Jennifer Ross, Michelle Scaplen, Jacquie Rogers, Kristi Ahlers, Patty Howell, and Susan Barclay. ***** A stellar anthology that had me laughing, sighing in pleasure, believing in magic, and left me begging for more! Will there be a second anthology someday? I sure hope so! This is one novel that I will go directly to my "Keeper" shelf, to be read over and over again. Very highly recommended! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

A must for the keeper shelf

I'm not only an author of two short stories in this anthology, I'm also an editor. I can tell you that this book is one of the most superior collections of short stories I've ever seen. As a reviewer [..] I've read a lot of books, and the stories in No Law Against Love are some of the best out there. When I first received stories to edit I didn't realize that some of the authors are first timers. The quality of the stories are so well done that I thought they were all from multipublished writers. There are stories here for every taste, from historical to futuristic and everything in between. I may read a lot, but I'm very picky over what I keep. I'm extremely critical and hard to please, but when I like a book, I REALLY like a book. And I can say with hand on heart that I LOVE this collection. I hope you will, too. [..]
