Goodreads Reviews for this Valentine’s Romance
5* Jenny – his review covers two of the thirteen stories/novellas included in Lucky Valentine: “Tico Time” by Sutton Bishop and “Anything But Flowers” by Cheryl Brooks.
Bishop’s story follows hard-working PI Liberty from her hometown and family investigation business and seeing her former bf on another woman’s arm to Costa Rica, a relaxing beach, and a man who emerges from the darkness and straight into her life. A little island fun is just what she needs, but how will she leave Eli for her real life when these exciting two weeks are up?
Brooks’ novella stars a florist owner and her dreamy long-time regular customer. He has barely spoken to her except with his eyes, but Caroline was burned badly by a stalker and hasn’t allowed herself to explore any attraction. Kahlil always buys a bouquet for a woman, but he isn’t wearing a ring. Is he married? If not, who is he sending the flowers to and why? A chance accident breaks their silence, but Kahlil’s shyness almost robs him of his chance at a first date with the woman of his dreams. What is he hiding, and will the complications mean Caroline will refuse his attention?
And a note about my novella, “Layered Hearts”: Friends since kindergarten, Wendy and Lando are suddenly the only tenants in the apartment building his parents own when a small town becomes even smaller. With Wendy’s help, Lando sweats and strains to renovate the place into an artists’ retreat. She’s the only one he’s ever really wanted, but neither has ever crossed a line, protecting their friendship. Restrained emotions are set free on Valentine’s Day, and once these friends have dared to become lovers, will it ruin everything … or will they discover love is the sweetest art of all?
4* Anika – It was interesting on the first pages, but it must be borne in mind that this is not an independent story, but an excerpt from a book. The characters are presented as if we already know them and their history and relationships. The story itself is interesting and quickly captivates, the main character evokes sympathy and empathy, mainly because other characters behave rudely with her, and I was very offended for Cari. There are two POVs in the story, Cari and Mumble, this helps to evaluate the story from all sides and understand the feelings of both heroes. But I’m still counting. that Kari deserves better.
A great story for one evening, it reads very easily, the plot quickly engages, and you no longer notice how the book is coming to an end. A great gift for yourself on Valentine’s day :).
5* Ariella – The only part of this anthology I’ve had the privilege to read so far is Sutton Bishop’s Tico Time. It’s a fun-filled romantic getaway story about two delightful people, Eli and Liberty. Having read Hearts Don’t Lie, the book that first introduces us to Liberty, is not a requirement, but it made it more fun for me to see what became of her and how she reacted to the work she did in that earlier book. We see her for the romantic she is at heart rather than a workaholic who desperately needs time off. I found myself pulling for this beautiful couple to find their HEA. (Sighing happily now with hearts in my eyes). Eli is a total “catch” so I hope she’s good to him. Thanks, Sutton for the chance to read your story.
5* Penny – I was fortunate enough to read “Her Mafia Valentine” which is a part of this anthology. The “hero” in this follows Thomas, a character from Liza Malloy’s “Mafiosa Princess” series (which I really love) and his finding his “heroine” Ana. I really enjoyed how he was so protective of her from the beginning and enjoyed the bit of mystery each character had. This was a very well rounded short story that included some good spicy love scenes. I really enjoyed this and hope to see more of these characters in the future.
4* Escape to the Pages – Shyla Colt story
I’ve read the authors kings of chaos series but not the duelling devils (which this story is actually linked to)
Able to stand-alone this book will lead you straight to the door of the series which I am sure is one I will get lost in.
Interesting characters with just enough depth to make this work and you want them to get a hea.
Enjoyable.
I hope you enjoy the anthology! Happy reading!
