All matches made in heaven.

Loved each and every one of them. My favorite was the one by Erica Vetsch. I had read stories by both she and Lena before. The other three were new authors to me. All did a great job with their stories Will read more by each author. Always enjoy going to different parts of the country or world when I'm reading.

What I like about an anthology is the ability to pass over themes or time periods that aren't my favorites.
I really liked The Trail Boss's Bride and Maggie's Journey and would rate them 3.5 if I could.

some good some not so good

I enjoyed a couple of the stories. But the other couple were poorly written, childishly written and boring. I almost didn’t finish this book but I’m glad I pushed through. I found the last story to be very entertaining
