My Thoughts

This is such a fun and clever idea for a book! As I said earlier, I enjoy hearing other people’s stories. So, reading about how all these authors met their significant others was a lot of fun for me.

It is so true that love comes in a lot of different ways and looks different on everyone.

Here are a couple of snippets from the first story and the last story for you to enjoy!

From A Rose Frozen in Time by Michelle Tweed

Michelle and Brandon are in Antarctica. He shouldn’t have been able to bring her a red rose, and yet… “He brought me a red rose. In a land where there are none, he found one and brought it to me.”

You’ll have to read the story to find out how he got it, but it’s sweet!

From City Nights by Kerry Evelyn

“I threw a knife right at his heart.
Literally. I was rolling the knife over in my hand absently and somehow must have pointed it at him.”

While this certainly doesn’t seem to be the most promising beginnings of any kind of relationship…again, you’ll have to read the book to see how they got together after that!

If you enjoy short stories, fun, quirky, sappy even, you will enjoy this book! It’s an easy one to pick up and put down. But, you’ll want to keep reading!
