I'll review each story separately.
It Must Be Love
This was very bland to me. I didn't really feel a lot of emotion from anyone. I also don't know why Naya would put up with everything from everyone for so long. She only left the company because she thought she was handed the job, not becuase she was treated badly.
I didn't really believe Amias' sudden change of heart, either. Just all of a sudden he was interested in her and then in love with her? I didn't trust it at all. He went from 0 to all-in really fast.
We also didn't get much closure it follow through with anything. Ethan said he would quit if Naya did. Did he? We don't really know how things with her brother ended up, or if he just remained an ass. Amais' mom seemed to do a 180 all of a sudden, too.
No Ordinary Love
Time isn't consistent. Was it four weeks or four months since meeting Jax?
Honestly, I was cheering for Amara in this one, to stay away from Lucas. Considering all that he said, including how he let his family treat her, I was done with him early on. For most of the story, I didn't care how upset he was since he brought it all on himself.
I also wasn't feeling much emotion from them, either. There was potential for more angst, but the author just softened everything by giving us so much of Lucas' POV, as well.
My overall opinion, she should have ended up with Jax. That could be partially because we saw how they were together, whereas the whole book started with Lucas being an ass.
Never the Best
I was hesitant when I saw that this was another Savannah Lace book. The one in the last collection ended up with a lot of names and situations that confused the point. This one, though, was much better. It didn't try to explain everyone else's backstory.
I do like how the author handled the eating disorder and her breakdown and struggles in this book. It was done very well, and it worked for me.
I did struggle with most of the rest of it, though. After everything that she went through, I honestly don't see her letting him get that close again. This author loves to have a MMC who completely destroys the FMC, and yet somehow magically gets them back together no matter what. The MMCs are so terrible sometimes that I don't see any way for them to dig themselves out of the hole that they dug. Unfortunately, our author doesn't seem to handle emotional connection between the characters well, either, so I don't believe their feelings for each other, either. So I just end up unsatisfied at the end of her books because I just feel like our FMC settled.
I wish we could have seen more consequences for his mom and Josey about lying to get the proposal, too.

Collection romance
Alden picked 3 of her books to put together for this collection that focus on strong women and men who learn who is important in their lives. All the books were previously published as stand-alone, and that is specifically stated in the book blurb.

All books I've previously read before, and all least favorite male main characters. In all of these, I would have dumped him and moved on to a better life. YMMV.

1. The first story was nice.
2. The second story had too much page limit given to other man and friends .. Hero was beta. I skimmed towards last 25%
3. I’ve tried to read the last one before. There is no romance. Hero and heroine aren’t together on page at all. All of it is a long moan about how she was fat shamed as a teen and how hero did it most. I abandoned it once again. I don’t understand south society and I found all the extra characters puzzling and boring.

It was okay, only finished the first one, for bored with the other two.
