My Review:
Who could turn down five novellas by
five wonderful authors? A mystery, an adventure, a parasol in a romance? Very
interesting! And who would believe that I read all these novellas in one
sitting?
I’m a huge fan of Lara Temple’s books but after reading all the stories, four other amazing authors have been added to the list! From the very first story, you will be hooked with the story of Belle and Max by Lara Temple. This enemies turns lovers is so wonderful that I thought it was too short and needed more. Belle’s sharp wit kept me amused. Max may be annoyed by Belle’s interference in his plan, but their banter and strong attraction made the reading more enjoyable and engaging. Especially when it comes to the parasol, who would have thought it could deceive you?
The second story is about Torrance and
Phoebe by Rachel Ann Smith. Torrance is an agent of the Home Office and Phoebe
is his informant. This intriguing mystery and love intertwine in a steamy and
sweet story!
The third story is Sebastian and Kathie by Anna St. Claire. The story begins with a tragic incident that brings Sebastian and Kathie. The plot is full of mystery and suspense that is mixed with the romantic journey of Sebastian and Kathie with a charming and wonderful ending.
The fourth story is about Helena and Amabel by Catherine Stein. They meet through a mystery, a game of lies and flirtation and it was wonderful.
And the final story is by Aubry Wynne where several mysteries come together. I thoroughly enjoyed Genie and Clayton as the fate and a parasol bring them together.
I really couldn’t put the book down. I need a longer story from each of them! All the stories are wonderful with the author’s special writing and engrossing plot. The adventure, the parasol, the mystery, the suspense, the smitten heroes and their romantic and steamy affair make it a wonderful collection. I hope I can get more stories for the side characters as they are so compelling. Thank you very much, Lara Temple, for the digital copy which I was happy to review.
