Fun collection. The last story is definitely the most dramatic but I enjoyed them all.

So Good

Wow this was so so good. I felt like I was watching an action movie instead of reading a book. Dorian and Grace/Ray has both endured some pretty traumatic things in their lives and each blamed themselves for the pain the other went through. It’s a book with everything in it from action, to romance, to heartache. I loved it all and will go on to see what happens to Shadow next.

This book is full of short stories by fantastic authors some I knew before and some are new to me and I have fallen in love with. There are a lot of short stories and some I have not got to yet, but I definitely plan to, so here are my reviews on the stories I have read so far:
Her Mafioso’s Honor by Patricia Eddy:
In this story we are instantly introduced to Evelyn who has been captured by some mafia guys. She is treated horribly but she is strong and can hold her own. Damian is the nephew to the current mafia boss who thinks it is horrible the way his uncle has ran the family into the ground so he is out to right the wrongs and he starts by saving Evelyn from an even worse fate. At first Evelyn is very skeptical a guy like Damian wants to help her and cares for her well being but their attraction is undeniable. The story is a short one, but I loved it so much and enjoyed the characters. A fast paced intense read with an incredible alpha and tough as nails heroine.

Real by Magan Vernon:
In this cute read we get to see the banter between two individuals who entertained me and made me laugh. Wren is starting a paper for her English class and starts to email her professor so she can get a few things approved but the TA answers to response. This TA comes off as abrupt, kind of mean, but she does not know it is not her professor but instead his TA, Wolf the school bad boy. Wolf is smart and knows what he likes, and he knows his stuff when it comes to the class he works for. Their back and forth arguing is so good that you know they love to get a rise out of each other but know it may be kind of forbidden. I loved Wolf and the way he was straight forward with Wren. I also how Wren could give back as good as he could and that they were so attracted to each other just by arguing.

The Cabin Between Us by Dani Rene:
This story was cute, and it followed Calandra who left her hometown to try and make it in Hollywood, but we find out when she left town she left behind her heart. She is returning because her mother has decided to sell their cabin but she has so many memories there it’s hard for her to see it go, but when she gets home Kolton her heart and soul at one point is there. Kolton let the love of his life go but now he has a plan to make up for lost time.

Hero’s Flight by Janie Crouch
Linear Tactical-Oak Creek #2

Childhood friends, sweethearts, then something happened that created a separation difficult to bridge. This is a second chance romance with wonderful characters that definitely deserved their happily ever after!

What I liked:
* Derek Bollinger: ex-Air Force Combat Controller, pilot of helicopters and planes, working with Helitak, brother, son, survivor, has PTSD, protective, lethal, loves his wife, conflicted and in pain
* Becky Mackay: veterinarian, intelligent, intuitive, caring, wise, strong, dedicated to her marriage, wants to help Derek with his PTSD, has a bad guy to handle before the end of the book
* The plot, pacing, setting, and writing
* That it stands alone without reading previous books – though it was fun to see some of the old characters again
* Seeing characters from the next generation that will be having their stories told in this series
* The glimpse into flying, rescues, survival, and the need for women to be able to protect themselves
* That at least one of the bad guys was caught
* Knowing that Colton and Ella will be up next to have their story told

What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Knowing how many people must suffer from PTSD as well as the impact it can have
* Not knowing what the outcome for Princess is

Did I like this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Yes

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review

4-5 Stars
