So who doesn’t LOVE love? While I can completely empathize with the ‘dislike of Valentine’s Day’ that is the common thread in each one of these short stories, I can honestly say that everyone had a new perspective on what has become one of the most hated holidays I know.
Three authors have contributed to this anthology, and while I had never read any of these authors before reading this book, you can bet they are all on my list of books to buy. As I read, each one became my favorite of the three, and now I still can’t pick one – and you can’t make me!
Starting with Waiting for You by Jennifer Ryan, Taylor and Grant are electric together. While Grant does his best to eat his foot up to his knee, Taylor isn’t making things any easier on him. The two must learn to be honest and open with one another before they will find their happy ever after.
Next up is Sweet Fortune by Candis Terry. I loved this story as Sarah takes no prisoners in her attempts to be noticed by the hot and hunky deputy Brady. Seeking to reinvent herself into the adventurous and gutsy woman that she isn’t, she enlists the help of some friends and a twist on a fortune cookie to show Brady where his fortune lies.
Last but not least is Major League Crush by Jennifer Seasons. Bertie is absolutely wonderful as the brainy, snarky and clumsy neighbor to the hot baseballer Drake. Convinced that all he ever wants is brainless bimbos with few inhibitions and fewer clothes, Bertie’s heart and mind speak to the disillusioned Drake. Her quirks amuse him, and intrigue him, and something is very familiar about her: but will he be able to convince her that he is ready for the challenge of a real woman?
Each story has believable characters that you will want to shake or cheer on in equal measure. The ‘awkward’ moments are pure genius, and each story has its opportunity to heat up the room as the lovers pair off for their own ‘adult time’. These are shorter stories that pack the punch of a longer book, the characters and story pacing is developed with precision and skill to bring the reader plenty of enjoyment.
