I hope it's as feel-good as it seems to me!

Anne Stuart, how you make me forget myself sometimes! Hahaha. I loved the first part, the second one was just okay, and then it picked up towards the end again for me. The first one's my favorite though. ...more
So hard to rate anthologies ... also, while I'd love to sit here and write an actual review, have to just make this short and simple.

I had to give it a shot, and true enough, I ended up enjoying Rio and Evie's time together. I particularly loved the moment they left the premiere and the conversations that followed during that night ..... I laughed so much and appreciated what, or rather WHO Evie really is as a person, and at that point I couldn't wait for us to learn more about Rio. :D...more
Wow. I ... did not see that coming, but the tears, there were no stopping them. I had to pause and put the book down and gather myself first before reWow. I ... did not see that coming, but the tears, there were no stopping them. I had to pause and put the book down and gather myself first before reading the last few pages left. It was that emotionally satisfying for me, to read that scene that made me cry. Oh, so good....more
