I'm a bit Maya Jean fan but I hadn't yet read anything by the other two authors (knowing me, tho, I've got a few of their books on my tbr ofc). These three stories have the same stating point:a wedding in Tuscany, Olivia and Bailey get married and in the process spread love to Olivia's brother and Bailey teammate, two of the photographers, and Olivia's coworker.
As I've mentioned, anything Maya Jean is always a big yes, so the lonely divorced doctor falling in love under the Tuscany sky with the sweet NFL player that restores his trust in love was lovely to read.
Hannah Henry gives us a best friend's little brother romance. It's not truly a proper second chance romance, but morenof a hookup to misunderstanding (in the past) to lovers. They take pictures, enjoy Tuscany and mend their relationship while falling in love. I really liked the characterization and relationship dynamics.
JJ Mulder gives us a holiday fling (but not truly) turned romance between Olivia's coworker and a Finnish waiter at the wedding. I loved how JJ described the magical wonder that is Italy, it really jumped of the page. And the relationship between these two was so soft and sweet. Loved it.
I really enjoyed how all three stories were more focused on the relationship and the building of intimacy, instead of being horny lil shorts. The characters are endearing and you are rooting for their HEAs with all your heart....more
