Book Review by Bree Herron
Ever just want a book that is romantic and funny without making you blush? How about a collection of such books!
Enter this novella collection, first the moment I saw the authors in this collection I knew I needed to read it. All of these authors are EXTREMELY talented and to get a book full of their work is a delight! Now I also follow most of these lovely gals on social media, and they are just as funny in social media as they made their stories out to be. I was curious, then I was hooked, now I need more.
I could write you a book full of reviews describing and giving details of each book, but I want to share my 10 reasons I loved this collection.
- The authors, see above.
- Some of the stories contain animals, I am a huge animal lover and love when a dog can be a humorous point to a book.( No animal is harmed). Jessica Patch let’s just say I am still giggling at the image in my mind.
- The female characters are mind blowing. Each author brought their A game to the characters, but the gave us leading ladies that you will just love! I really loved Laurie Tomlinson’s Chelsea Scott. She had this flare and style to her.
- I love the use of opposites attract, take Pepper’s book- I am all about the details added to make life bright and unique. And her book almost made me snort out loud (okay, 5 times).
- The sweet and tender elements- Christina had this artist and I love the idea of this particular artist’s work and personality. And the chemistry she created was a lovely steamy cup of tea.
- Modern takes on dating- Heather Gray gave us online dating. And let me tell you she hit that one out of the park! I think Lia and I could be great girlfriends.
- Healing Hearts- I am always searching for stories that can even heal my broken heart. Well, Elizabeth did that, and she included my favorite dream job of renovating old houses! How could one not want to be in this story?
- Real Life Experiences- Some of our characters area walking horses, I mean dogs, others are doing the nanny gig. I did this gig, this book rocked on showing that life, only I wish I had the love ending.
- All ages- now I know your possibly looking for characters to meet your mature heart. I know the story in here for you, Marion gives us this wonderful story of an older couple. I really loved this story and felt my sides ache at times from laughing. Well Done.
- Faith, I love that all these stories have a sweet faith element. Never leaving out the possibilities of God helping you find love.
I am loving and living a romantic life through these stories, and it is going great. I have to say if these authors keep it up, I will be content to stay the crazy book lady.
I laughed so hard through this book, that I want to make 3 other readers laugh just as hard. So click and share!
