"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."


The Love Archives: Bonus Scenes & Excerpts for Palestine is an anthology that beautifully intertwines romance with a profound cause.

This collection shines a light on Palestinian families, with all proceeds dedicated to supporting them. Featuring over 120 short stories from well-known romance authors, each piece adds a unique touch to this impactful project.

✧ Bonus Scenes ✨
✧ Alternate POVs 👀
✧ Extended Epilogues 📜
✧ Fundraising for a Cause 💖
✧ Supporting Marginalized Communities 🌍

It’s a heartfelt and uplifting read, showing solidarity and compassion. Cynthia A. Rodriguez and the contributing authors have created something special, blending the joy of romance with meaningful activism. If you’re passionate about supporting oppressed communities while indulging in romance, this anthology is a must-read.

The criticism directed at this project is disheartening, especially considering its aim to provide aid to those in need. This anthology stands as a testament to the power of literature in fostering social change and spreading empathy. A huge thank you to everyone involved for making a difference and standing with the oppressed.

Forever in awe and grateful for this powerful initiative. 🇵🇸

5/5

"What now?" by Jessie Walker — 3/5

Don’t get me wrong, I love Will and Way, and this short chapter was great, but if it had been about Vale and Aston instead, I would have died from happiness.

"We were always going to end up here, weren’t we?” My voice is barely above a whisper.
He shrugs. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way, right?” He smirks knowingly. “Kind of inevitable, wouldn’t you say?”



"What we saved" by M. Valentine — 3/5

Cute, but nothing special.

"Because how do you not only say you’re the love of my life, but you’re my only love in all lifetimes? How do you say that the good days are some of the best but the bad days are how I know what we have is real and everlasting?"

editing this review for every story i read!

emily rath
BRUH i loved this one, it’s hard to keep the whole time line straight tho😭😭 but im excited about the thing that was revealed, for sure because i’m rereading pucking around to make myself ready for the 3rd book.

Jessie Walker
is it weird that i wanna marry jessie’s brain? yeah? okay then.
at this point i think it would be considered self harm the way i dig myself into these stories because they don’t make me feel great afterwards but it makes me thing and feel a lot i usually don’t feel. and this deleted scene made me wanna reread the whole series and i literally just caught up to everything…
anyway, if you havwn’t had the absolute pleasure for read her book yet, please do. absolute masterpieces


this just dropped to me kindle so fuck yeah, let’s goooo

i’ll be reading Jessie Walker, Emily Rath and Harley Laroux🫶🏼 and whomever catches my eye

So obv I didn't read the whole anthology, but only the bonus scenes from authors I know, I put this on my read shelf because it was easier; also those whining zionists bitches can suck my dick 5 stars period.

The wedding, J. Wilder : so cute, I loved the little cameos and the vows were so beautiful

Sick day, Harley Laroux : aaaa I missed them, it was so beautiful

The hunter and the prey, Maeve Black : spicy eheheh *wiggles eyebrows*

In this case I didn't read Sarah Blue's story because I didn't read the book the bonus scene is from. Also there are some authors like Katee Robert, Emily Rath, SJ Tilly that I want to read and authors I know by name, so I will probably come back in the future to update the review if I read their books.

Do I have to have read the other books to understand this anthology? I want to get it either way, but do I need to read other stuff first? Are there pieces that can be read as standalones?
August 2, 2024
I'll devour anything written by H.D. Carlton and Veronica Lancet.

We get a cute, smexy and emotional scene for Zade and Addie by Author Carlton.

And then the most awaited Michelle and Venezia by miss Lancet. It was so good and I am so excited and looking forward for their story.

Venezia by Veronica Lancet

I mean, you definitely need to read Veronica Lancets backlog to understand who these characters are.

Venezia is secretly pregnant and Michele doesn’t know. (He’s the father) These two short chapters are when he kidnaps her and manipulates her into staying. And the next chapter is 6 years later when he’s dead. Not a spoiler because this “couple” will have a story in which will have paranormal elements and I’m so exciting for Venezia’s revenge. She’s gone through hell because of Michele’s obsession with her.
5/5⭐️
