The premise of this anthology is reuniting with the one that got away. That's a great premise, but the book failed to really deliver for me. In each story, it seems that the couple falls into bed and everything that separated the couple in the first place no longer seems important. The "romance" wasn't developed and that makes it hard for me to believe that there is a happily-ever-after in any of these novellas. (
