Ginger Scott is the reason I’m reading this anthology and the one from whom I got the arc. I am not big on YA novels because I like a permanent happily ever after and I feel like in YA they are short-lived at best. However, even though this one took place over the summer, it did have an epilogue that had a three-year fast forward which I much appreciated. Therefore it gets 4 stars instead of 3.

Stephanie Rose’s story was cute but it lacked something for me. Maybe I’m just not into the public-service romances but I don’t have any desire to read any further about this couple. 2 stars.

I really liked Stephanie Alba’s story but it’s not in KU so I can’t read the rest right now even though I would really like to. It’s definitely on my wish list though. 3 stars.

Believers by Amanda Richardson is a little too short for me to really get a good grasp on what I would rate it. I need more from the story before I can pass any judgment, so for now I’m not rating it all.

Kayla is one of my most favorite people, so the K Renee story gets 5 stars simply because I love her ❤️ I loved seeing more of the wayward saints and I can’t wait for the rest of the story!

Wait? What?! Emery Jacobs just left me hanging. I want to know more about bow and I hate cliffhangers. There wasn’t even a read more section at the end or anything about how to find the rest of the story. For that simple reason, 2 stars.

Ariadne Wayne’s was okay. Not a whole lot to it. 3 stars.

I’m one of the few that has never read an Anne Jolin book so I was completely lost at this very short, really synopsis of a story. I felt like it was more of a sample than an actual short story, and I’m not exactly sure what it was doing in this anthology? It felt out of place and not at all like the others. 1 star.

Josephine Brierly (sp?)’s was okay. Definitely mopey and the happy ending happened so fast I felt like I had whiplash. I think it needs to be evened out, and a good editor would also be helpful. 3 stars.

AM Johnson’s story is the BEST thing I’ve read in a LONG while, and I’m so excited to have discovered her that I really can’t say anything besides this anthology is worth buying if only to read hers, and now I’m off to amazon to stalk her. 5 fab stars.

The Pit - I know this book is dark and about suicide and mental health but this story was too dark and too confusing for me and I admit that I kind of skimmed through most of it. 2 stars.

Just finished Stephie Wall’s story and even though I’m not big on military romances, it was adorable even if the last bit moved at warp speed. 4 stars.

Ahh! The story takes place 15 minutes from where I live! YAY! #TriValleyRules

#3 - Another cliffhanger

Seriously, the second one was dumb. What kind of idiot doesn't read papers before she signs them? And how obtuse are you to let a secret wedding be planned and you not know anything about it? #dumb

The first one ended super quick... I hope the rest aren't as cliffhanger-y...

Seriously. The Yankees in an Alessandra book?! Fairly certain my inner fangirl has died and gone to heaven.

I hate when the main girl is SO irresistible and all the guys are SO in love with her… So urealistic

Only 7% in and the PLENTIFUL grammatical errors are driving me bananas. I can already see this book being three or four star read at max because of all the errors.

What a weird book. How often is it that your friend is a porn star and you see a girl from high school who is also now a porn star and your best friend dates a porn star and you accidentally bump in to a hot guy who turns out to be a porn star? It's all very coincidental and I hate unnatural coincidences in books

Is it bad that I kinda want Erika to get all that's coming to her? Spoiled annoying rich girl

Probably semantics, but if they're cousins then their children would not be their nieces....

Schooner. Worst character name. Ever.

The dragon and witch thing feels very juvenile. And why did they have to stay the night in San Francisco? Napa is an hour away, at the most.

Ahhhhhhh this one is set in my home city ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Yay Bay Area!!!

I swear I thought I was going to hear her utter the words draw me like one of your French girls jack LMAO

I spent an exorbitant amount of money on this book, so bad reviews be damned, I'm going in...
