I love these stories

Link Stanton has always loved a Andy. After a few shots he tells Andy how he feels. Andy forgets due to the shots but Link wants him to remember so he gives Andy until Christmas to remember or he will tell him. Can Andy remember the secret that Link shared with him that night and find true happiness?
---A Night To Remember (Short Story)--- I loved this short story and its characters.
---Try To Forget---Sam Braun is about to spend the weekend alone after his boyfriend broke up with him. Sam doesn't say no when the hairstylist next store invites him to spend the weekend in his hometown of Occident. Sam never expects to meet a man like Erik Thorne. Eric is drawn to the friend Andy invited to town. Eric is confused by his feelings. Sam is hoping to forget what troubles him. Can they overcome the obstacles and find love together?

Sam is getting use to spending time with Erik's friends. Its Christmas time and the long awaited Christmas party Link and Andy throw is here. There will be games, fun, friendship and memories.
---One Last Chance---Stu Lawson is a farmer and has lived in Occident his whole life. Raising his daughter and farming the land is his greatest joys. Stu finds and man asleep on the ground on his farm land. He has clearly been abandon. He helps the man when he knows he shouldn't. He learns the man name is Morgan Grant and that he lives in Sacramento and that he has no way to get home without help. When he can't get a bus back home Stu offers him a job to help him get home. What Stu doesn't know is Morgan doesn't want to go home. Morgan and Stu both have secrets but could this be their one chance at love? The audiobook is amazing. Jack Watson's voice really brings this story to life.

"One last chance"*5
"Remember always"*5
This collection was the best. It was so full of love, family and friends. The bantering and dialogue was fun and I'm still snickering when thinking about Ted's last creations.
In this read we're following three couples on their way to happiness. Link and Andy, best friends to soulmates. They are the perfect love match.
Sam and Erik, small town boy and city boy meeting in a small town bar and instantly connect. Very sweet.
Stu and Morgan gets the suprise off their life when and where they meet.
It was a blast spending time with these guys and their friends and family. And it had the most fantastic ending. This is a must have so pick it up and enjoy the ride.

A wonderful collection of stories of small town romance. The stories start with Andy and Link. Andy felt suffocated by small town life growing up and left for city life. A visit to his family at Thanksgiving has his best friend Link declaring his love for Andy, if only Andy could remember. The stories are all intertwined as the characters appear again as others in the small town find each other and more than one brings their city boy to the country. I particularly liked the story of Stu and Morgan. Morgan finds that life on the farm with Stu and his daughter is just what he needed after being dumped on the road after partying a little too hard.

Delightful read! Nothing better than being able to sit down and read several stories all about friendships, love and amazing men who find each other. Great friends and found family in one sitting is a sweet slice of heaven. Time well spent reading about love and friendships. Great anthology, well done. I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Great collection
I have previously read and enjoyed these stories individually.
It was great to have them together in order to be able to read them seamlessly.
They're filled with wonderful characters, found family, and little to no angst.

I had already read most of these stories as individual books but it was great them being in the one collection that I could read without having to stop to find the next book. Great series.
