I LOVED every single story in this anthology! It has everything, contemporary and historic romance, shifters, witches, MC and most importantly, HEA. I love the way thistle or Thistle Farms was introduced into the stories. Most of the authors, I already stalk. A couple that I hadn't read are now on my TBR list. You need to read this if you haven't!!!
This was entertaining and fun. Some of the stories were very good and some felt like they had been condensed to fit the format, but all left me with a feeling of joy and warmth. Romance is the central theme in the majority of the stories which isn't my preferred genre to read, but I'm a sucker for happy endings and this ticked every box. The book is no longer available as I understand, so I consider it fortunate that I was able to buy a copy before it was pulled. Amazing book for a beautiful cause.
This was a fabulous anthology that has everything from contemporary romance to paranormal romance and everything in-between! There is a genre for everyone!!
Not only did this anthology help raise money for a great cause - Thistle Farms, but gave me a chance to read stories from some of my favorite authors, as well as the chance to discover new ones!
This is a fantastic collection of stories that helps a fantastic cause. High recommend!
Read Lucky 13 by Shannyn Schroeder, sweet friends to lovers short story. She’s superstitious about her birthday falling on a Friday. Her best friend decides to show her it’s actually been lucky. Gage is very considerate of her feelings for the day. He makes it extra special for her. This was originally part of an anthology but I received an updated copy from the author.
What's more Beautiful than a whole bunch of Authors coming together for a common cause? Not a thing! My Heart is happy that this group pulled together, to put this charity book of AMAZING stories together. Some are my favorites, some are new to me, and became favorites. Each story is centered around 2nd chances, and there's something for everyone. The best part? we get to help our friends at Thistle Farms!!
