Vicki Batman has written eleven very short stories about things happening in the small town of Sommerville. They are cute, funny, heart warming tales written about some amazing characters.
A very worthwhile read if you have an extra hour or so to read this book.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

So while pretty short, this book of short stories was good. These short "romance" stories were great for stress relief. They were the right amount of fluff and I really enjoyed that. The one thing I wish was that there was just a little more description of the main men the women were falling for. Overall, if you looking for a quick read that's good for your heart, I would suggest this.

Just Desserts was such a quick and fun read. These cute little short stories will have you smiling and some will have you laughing out loud. These stories are quick and give you a few minutes away from reality. Stress relievers. Perfect for a summer beach read. I read this book all in one sitting. This book is great if you don’t have a lot of time. Vicki has a great sense of wit and humor which is what makes this book so enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Just Desserts.

Super short stories that all end in little romances.
I actually enjoyed most of these stories.
Clean easy reads with humor, fun characters and a few even had some unruly critters.
Definitely check these out if you need something to occupy your time for an hour or so!
