review 1: This book is an anthology containing three different stories by three different authors which I had never read anything from until now. The first story was Love Won't Wait by Lori Foster. I liked this story the most and would give it four stars. Brick and Merrily were just so cute together, I was just hoping everything would work out between them. The second story was Beach House Beginnings by Christie Ridgway. I would give this story three stars. It was a good story, who doesn't love a man that can cook. The third story was Strong Enough To Love by Victoria Dahl. This story was a 2 star read for me. I didn't feel anything for the characters or their past and it was really quick, like 90 pages. Reading an anthology was fun and it makes me realize I should look up other boo... moreks by Lori Foster.
review 2: This book consists of three great fast reading novella's from three authors. Lori Foster, Christie Ridgway and Victoria Dahl each give us a romantic stories that are emotional but with some fun too. I'll start out by saying Lori Foster is always a must read for me. I'm almost always 100% sure I'm going to like what i read. I was not disappointed. Brock and Merrily are a breath of fresh air. Brick is as hot as they come and Merrily the exact opposite and when they get together kaboom! Christie Ridgway i have actually never read before and this one was good and very emotional. Caleb has to help her overcome her ideas about love and help her deal with a great loss from when she was younger. Lastly was Victoria Dahl. Her novella is not a new one i read it before when it was first released. I liked it but was very torn about the hurt Eve was carrying and i can't figure out how she brought herself to forgive Brian. I don't think i could do that. Yes he was married and no they didn't do anything about the attraction which is commendable. What doesn't work much for me is Brian and his wife had been separated several times and this last time was 2 years. They had no kids and if he felt that strongly for Eve why the heck would be cut and run on her and go spend a year trying to figure out if his marriage could work and then even wait til he was divorced to show up and expect open arms. I think this might have been better as a longer book with more time for him to grovel. Overall i liked the first two novellas and the third was just meh. If your looking for a quick read this is a good book for you though. You can take your time reading it and not worry about racing to the finish because there are three distinct stories. One of the fun things about anthology books. less
