I love anthologies and was so happy to get the chance to read this one. I like that they give the opportunity to read a few different authors in the same book.
In Love – Limited Edition Rory is trying to find his happiness and a chance meeting with Brett helps jump start that journey. I loved these characters and how cute they were together and that Brett was able to give Rory the chance to connect with his parents but also find the love he wanted. Riley and Evan in Bent Corners have a couple chance meetings that give them the chance to explore their attraction. I loved Riley’s determination to help his uncle and Evan’s situation with his grandma but their story seemed a bit unfinished to me especially with Evan’s jealous reaction near the end.
A Rhythm You Feel was the one story I had the trouble with the most unfortunately, it’s mainly a pet peeve of mine when an author does a to be continued story in something like this, It was unfinished but other than getting to know Blade and Nico, they just meet a couple times, there wasn’t any romance. Howie in Coffee, Tea, or Me just longs for love and affection from someone and Jackson needs to find the confidence he needs to provide it. I liked these two, especially Howie, but felt that Jackson just kept reverting back into himself and had some trouble thinking about what he was saying but worked hard to prove himself to Howie.
Love Potion No. 69 was a bit of a departure from the other stories in this collection. Keith and Sadler meet by chance and concocting their “love potion” helps jump start their relationship but I don’t know something about it didn’t sit right with me. Stackswas absolutely the sweetest story of all. Levant is so patient and wants nothing more than for Nic to be happy which he shows in every way.
Cover art by Kris Jacen is okay, it works with the theme of this anthology but all the items don’t seem cohesive.
