This is a wonderful anthology, with something for everyone's taste. I cannot review all of the stories, so here's three chosen (almost) at random:
Marie Skye's 'I Still Hate You'. I really wanted to like this story and in the end I did, but I have to say that at the beginning, with the complicated history between Ash and Perrie I found it hard going.
Maria Ann Green's 'Once Upon That Time He Was Stuck in the Friend Zone' is a friends-to-lovers about Colton and Emma. An interesting story, well-written with a good supporting cast. The likeable protagonists devastate one another, but in the end…There is a thing about Colt's nickname for Emma and in the end it will make you cry.
Dakota Davies' 'Falling for My Fling'. I'm a big fan of Davies and bought this book to read this story and it doesn’t disappoint - except it isn't a HEA - yet. The great outdoors is important to this author; she has written about swimming, zip-lining, rock-climbing and here it's rafting. Lori is working at a summer school while waiting to go to Stanford. She meets Caleb, who works for his family's rafting company and who is known for his frequent, short-term hook-ups. There is a lot of background angst for both protagonists which makes their feelings for one another all the more sweet.

Review for That's What She Shed by Melonie Johnson

I am a fan of this author. This newest short story did not disappoint. It read like a full-length novel. It is refreshing to read a story where the main characters are older and not twenty somethings. Plus, Tasha and Nate show that your hair may have more "silver" in it, but it can still be spicy in the bedroom.

I had such a fun time reading this book. All the innuendos not to mention the stuff that would come out of Tasha's mouth. In addition, to all of her best women friends Heather, Kristy, Lauren, and Sari. This story will have you thinking into "silver foxes". This short story by Melonie Johnson is A-Plus!… (more)
