I liked the story about the cat. And the insight into Patrick was cool too. But the third story about Ricky and Olivia annoyed me. I never thought I'd be saying this but there was just too much sex. That's the only thing they do. Everything resolves about sex with them. And it was impossible to ignore that they don't belong together and they know it too.

The Orange Cat- A rather amusing tale.

Bad Publicity - Patrick being a father, not a good one but the feels are real.

Lady of the Lake -A lovely vacation between one of my favourite couples of all time.

Rituals Sneek Peek - Gabriel's mother is back, maybe? Ooooh drama.

Read these as part of the collection. Just marking it so I don't get excited there's something I haven't read.

I got this e-book because I pre-ordered Betrayals.

Overall this was a fun read with 3 short stories and the first chapter of Rituals, book 5 in this series. The first two short stories are very short, but give a bit of character depth, personality and background that was a nice touch. The stor about the orange cat is a bit creepy and was told from Gabriel his point of view. Bad Publicity was a Patrick story which was quite fun with a few small twists and I liked how we get an idea of how he thinks about Gabriel.

The story Lady of the Lake was a lot longer than the first two short stories and I also enjoyed that one the most. It follows a mystery Liv and Ricky run into on their vacation, this takes place between book 3 and 4 if I am correct. The story was enjoyable and worked well as a short story and made me want to pick up betrayals as soon as possible. My only complaint was that there was very little Gabriel, I am team Gabriel and he did/ said something stupid at the end of book 3 and Liv and Ricky aren't too happy with him right now. It's hard to see their relationship a bit strained.

These stories remind me why I love this series so much and had me looking forward to the next book. I'll have to read betrayals soon as I am looking forward to be back in this world.

Loved this collection of short stories, of Gabriel, of Patrick, and of the road trip that Liv and Ricky went on! Fantastic, and I need to reread Betrayals!
