Ugh, I just love romance so much. But one thing I hate about novellas is how short they are. I love these stories so much that I want to keep reading more. Each story was refreshing in its diverse way. I think that my favorite by far was "Fools of Us All" by Julie Daines. Sure, the relationship started on a lie but, Mason is really sweet to Jane. Jane was probably abused by her father and it shows. She is skittish around people-men particularly-because she is just waiting for them to explode in anger at any given moment. Jane thinks that Mason is no different than the abusive people in her life and he proves her wrong in many different ways. I just love their story and how Jane learned how to eventually trust others. There is good character development on Jane's part.
I highly recommend reading this amazing collection of romantic novellas.

I really loved all three stories in this book. I just wish they were full length books!! There is so much detail, in such a short amount of time, that I was left wanting more of the characters when I finished each novella.

“Storybook Romance” by Melanie Jacobson was amazing and I loved it. It made me wish it was a full length novel.

I didn’t care for Jennifer K Clark’s “He Loves Me Not”. I disliked most of the characters and the story just felt too tossed-together with a convenient ending that didn’t make as much sense as I think the author meant it to.

“Fools of Us All” by Julie Daines was pretty good. Not my favorite of the bunch, but it kept me interested.

This started out strong with Jacobson's novella. I loved everything about it! Even of it slowly killed my dreams of being a writer

These are three fun, easy-to-read, clean romance novellas. Each is written by three well-known LDS fiction authors. These are great for a quick read. I really liked the first and third stories. The middle one was a little weak. All in all, good read for those days when you're waiting at the doctor's office.

I always love these collections of short, sweet novellas. This one has three stories and is a very quick read. I think I liked the first one (Melanie Jacobson's) the best, but they were all great!

Just cute, decent, fluff. I loved each of these author's writing styles, but their short stories just didn't do it for me.
