Kiss Me Quick #Bundle 1
Digital to Analog
College is not proving to be exactly all it's cracked up to be for Seth. His only relief from classes, loneliness, and asshole peers is his online friend, Atropos. But even that is a problem because Atropos is also one of the assholes he hates most, leaving Seth confused as to who is more authentic: the asshole from class or the friend online.
Then Seth slips up, and he fears he may have ruined the only good thing he had …

This was a nice, short read. I liked both MCs; their inability to talk in RL, but their connection online were rather endearing. Good to see how finally Devon took the initiative.
I will definitely give this author another try.

Quite a bit of story is packed into 22 pages. I really enjoyed it. A perfect "break" read.

Let's say it with me, all together now ... "awwwww, so cuuuuute!!!!" This short story is about two young students who are nemesis in analog life (a.k.a. real life) but totally friends in digital life (a.k.a online).
Seth (or ThirdSun) knows who Atropos is -- his nemesis, Devon. But he likes chatting online with Atropos so much, even if he must endure Devon's tease and not-so-kind comments. On the other hand, Devon actually likes Seth, despite his teasing and being a jerk to Seth. It's classic "I torment you because I like you" attitude :).
I find this quite enjoyable, especially when Devon finally finds out who's his chat partner is -- and he sets his way to make things right. Short, but it's good to spend less than an hour with.

This is part of the Less Than Three Kiss Me Quick Valentine bundle. Seth is a college student, lonely, busy and harassed by certain classmates, especially Devon and his friend Mark. The only thing that makes his life better is his online friend and confidant, Atropos. They connect online and share conversations about college life, difficult days, and in Seth’s case, the ridicule and humiliation he suffers at the hands of Devon Parnell and friends. The odd thing that Seth knows and Devon doesn’t is that Devon and Atropos are the same person. Seth found out by accident and has never shared the information with Devon, too afraid of losing his online friend in Atropos, never mind that the nemesis Seth is talking about is the self same guy. As the story progresses, Devon begins to realize who Seth is and connect him to his online partner.
The difficulty I had with it is that the point of view of Devon, once he realizes who Seth is, tries to make his actions innocuous teasing, instead of the mean spiritedness they came across as when he did them. Suddenly the remarks are to be considered no big deal. Devon himself admits “He wasn’t sure Seth would even let him in. Devon had been not exactly kind to him over the past year…” It made me wonder then, why is Seth suddenly now attractive? And when he gets upset that Seth knew Atropos’ identity and didn’t mention it, well, I can see why!
This short story was so difficult for me to rate, because while I love the whole “online to real life” idea, there were quirks here that I found difficult to accept and keep liking the character as much. For the sake of Seth, I’d give it a four, yet Devon is a complete jerk at times. I like the concept of online friends meeting in real life, and Seth is a sweetheart. Hopefully, Devon will be as he was as Atropos and they will get their hea!

July 15, 2016Digital to Analog is a smooshy little Valentine short. The main characters are undergrad electrical engineering students — a breed of student I hold near and dear to my heart. And around Valentine's Day, in the middle of winter, college days can be dark — literally and figuratively. Sometimes classes are awful, labs don't work, people suck, the weather sucks, the text books make no sense, maybe a different major would be better, and inevitably something else goes wrong. For some reason, that's the background of what came to me when I got the Valentine call. But, being the happily-ever-after oriented girl that I am, I couldn't let that be the whole story for the main characters in Digital to Analog. I hope you enjoy my inaugural release.

An sweet cute little story. My only complaint is that Seth just kind of put aside his differences with

Short and cute. I would have liked this story to be longer so you can build in more twists. I liked the theme that your everyday life nemesis is you sweetheart on the internet without knowing it.

A nice teen story, the MCs were loveable. But too short.....

3.5 for me. It was good, but I wish there had been a little more angsting about each other finding out the truth.

The perfect pick me up read. Sweet and simple.
Another that I would love to see made longer or with a follow on update.

OK, I'm clearly a sucker for those enemies-become-friends-unknowingly-online type of stories, so this one just hit the spot! So sweet!

Cute story. A little more showing and a little less telling would have been nice and would have helped fill out the characterisations a bit.

Cute short enemies to lovers romance. I lied the MCs, so I would have liked more time for their romance to develop but still a good read (also very tame).
