3 stars for Chelle Bliss. I'm a little disappointed... I know that it is a short story but it was too short.
July 20, 2015
Ok. So I haven't read all of the stories in this anthology but those I've read, I really loved. and I know that I will immensely enjoy at least few of the others :) And on that note, I will write separate reviews for each story I read ;)
Love on the Horizon by A.M. Madden
You probably already know that A.M. Madden is one of my favorite authors and I will read everything she writes :) And I am so glad that I got the chance to read an ARC of this short story :) It was just the perfect summer read: light with an amazing love story, great characters and just a pinch of suspense :) The writing was superb as always and I immensely enjoyed getting to know Marco and Rebecca :)
One of the things I really liked about the story was that it touches current problems as difficulty of finding a suitable job after graduation. This is quite a common problem within the young generation and I loved seeing the attention drawn to it in this way.
Now on a brighter note, lets focus on the characters :) Both characters were quite easy to relate and very lovable :) Marco is definitely one pantie melting man candy with his amazing looks and delicious Italian accent:) I loved that he from time to time mixes Italian words in his speech. And the fact that he completely switched to Italian when he was emotional, was so sweet :)
Rebecca is also quite an interesting character. Even though she is only 22 her decisions were quite mature which made her very lovable. It was also easy to relate to her struggles and feelings. Another character that I really loved, was one of the supporting characters - Ricky :) He was just so much fun and I have to say that I would love to read some more about him in the next book :)
I feel obliged to say that the ending was a little bit predictable but at the same time I feel that that was the right ending for the story :) It was just so romantic and it also showed the strong connection between Marco and Rebecca. It showed how well they know each other and how deep their feelings run :)
As a whole I have to say that I really enjoyed the lighthearted feeling of the story. I think it is the perfect summer read for a hot relaxing night. The only problem I see is getting overheated thanks to some of the really hot scenes between Marco and Rebecca :D
Interrupted Vol 1 by S Moose
S. Moose is a completely new author to me, so I really wasn't sure what to expect from this first part in the Interrupted Series. I can definitely say that I wasn't disappointed.
The story started a little bit slow for me and it was somewhat difficult to keep track of all the characters but after the first few pages, everything became clearer :) In the beginning I was frustrated with Cam (Camila) and with her decisions but I love the moment when she found her inner strength and finally too her life in hands.
On the other hand, sharp was an enigma. Every single time that I thought I know what was going on, he was doing something that threw me for a loop. That's not to say that I didn't enjoy his sexy messages or controlling behavior. I am a sucker for dominant alpha males, so of course I fell for Sharp. And how can I not. He is the ultimate man candy, he is dominant, he can make you cream your panties with only few words, and he is a devoted father. Sigh... What else could a woman want?
The development of the relationship between Cam and Sharp was quite interesting, especially considering that they haven't met. The only way they communicate is through messages or phone conversations. But I was still able to feel the chemistry between them, and damn... do they have it in spades.
In a few words the story is interesting and intriguing. And It is definitely HOT... I can't wait to see what will happen in the next part. Just be warned... there is a major cliffhanger here, so I hope you are ready to #oneclick Volume #2 :)

Rebound by Chelle Bliss
Helpful to have read her Men of Inked Series (IT'S AMAZING & a MUST read). This is Sam (Flash's story). Knowing Izzy doesn't return his feelings and has moved on with her own true love, Sam needs to get away. Planning to drown himself in his sorrows, Fiona changes everything. Could love at first sight really exist? Is Fiona just a Rebound?
Banded Together by Hillary Storm
This novella is the third installment of her Rebel Walking Series. Talon and Eaven's story (In a Heartbeat book 1) and Taron and Ivy's story (Heaven Sent book 2) are both FABULOUS reads. Highly recommend meeting these twin brothers and their band! Banded Together shows where the brothers are at relationship wise with their significant others. We also learn more of the other band members, Luke and Lilly. See for yourself how this group of people show their love and support of each other to stay Banded Together!!

My review is for AM Madden & Chelle Bliss
Love on the Horizon AM Madden
Absolutely such an amazing story of love at first sight that had me devouring Marco & Rebecca's story. I couldn't get enough of Marco, I couldn't put my kindle down. Can't wait for more
Rebound by Chelle Bliss
I really liked Sam (Flash) and was glad Chelle wrote a short story for him. When he was with Izzy you would think ok they will be together but no, she didn't see him that way a Izzy fell in love with James. Now broken hearted Sam had to get away. Would he find what he needs in New Orleans? I love all Chelle's books and The Gallo clan is my fav. Love this book and can't wait for more of the Gallo

This collection is full of some awesome authors. I have to say my favorite is Just One Summer by AD Justice. I am a huge AD fan and love every single thing she has written. This novella is no exception. From beginning to end I was hooked. Even though it is a novella it flowed like a full length book. I LOVED Jaggar so much!! From beginning to end he totally made me fall in love with him and Mali is honestly one of the best heroines I have read in a long time. Great job AD!! It was amazing!!! 5+++ AMAZEBALLS stars!! A copy was gifted in exchange for an honest review.

This is a really good collection of stories. I'll admit I only bought it cause Chelle Bliss has a story in there and it was for a good cause. I ended up enjoying all the stories in this collection. Of course some more than others but they were all worth a read.
