Bachelors of Bond Street is a collection of three novellas that are based on bachelors who own businesses on Bond Street. The stories are short, but they are all well written and fun to read.
Love by the Letters by Janna MacGregor: Portia Bellingham was trying to help her younger sister win the love of her life. She was to deliver a letter from her sister to a gentleman in the bookstore. Unfortunately, she delivers it to the wrong man and then must try and retrieve it before a scandal happens. Gabriel, the bookstore owner, was enchanted by Portia but confused when he keeps finding her in his personal living areas. When Gabriel finds the love letter, he thinks Portia has written it to him and disappointed to find out otherwise. Can they get past the misunderstanding and find their HEA?
How to Brew a Perfect Kiss by Shana Galen: Raeni Sawyer had run away and found herself alone and with no money in England. She finds a position in a coffee shop, but her first day didn’t go too well! Thomas is the owner of the new coffee shop and realizes that Raeni has potential. He is impressed with her ideas for the shop and interested in her personally. He has always tried to keep his personal life separate from his business but the attraction he feels for Raeni complicates things. Can Thomas keep Raeni safe from her past?
A Second Chance for Love by Minerva Spencer: Justin Taylor wants revenge from the man who wrecked his life and the woman who he thinks caused it. Oona was trying to keep her job and provide for her daughter. She couldn’t turn down Justin’s job offer, but as they travel to a house party the truth of the past finally comes out. Justin must decide if revenge is more important than his future happiness.
This was a wonderful collection of stories that are a must read. The spice level increases with each story and the common theme of bachelors who have shops on Bond Street was carried out through each story. Each story was interesting, had great characters and fun to read. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Love by the Letters by Jenna MacGregor
One little mistake leads to a romance that will make you giggle with the way things happen between them. They got off to a bumpy start with their first meeting, but it was clear they were perfect for each other. They are a couple that goes about things differently and won’t let anything stand between them. I loved the twist in the end with her family and didn’t see it coming at all!
Portia has a way with words and will do anything to help her sister get the man she loves. I loved how she didn’t really care about what others thought and wasn’t shy when it came to Gabriel.
Gabriel didn’t know what was missing from his life until he met Portia. He’s a good mix of going after what he wants, but also not hiding his feelings.
How to Brew a Perfect Kiss by Shana Galen
I’ve loved Thomas since he appeared in An Affair With a Spare and was excited to see his story. There is heat between instantly and not just from the hot coffee on his pants. The dangers of the past weren’t going to keep them apart.
Raeni is a strong young woman that has fled from her home and is trying to make it on her own. I loved her right away with how brave she was and how smart she was.
Thomas will never think twice about helping someone that he knows needs helps. Add in that he loves the woman and he won’t stop at anything to protect her or help her.
A Second Chance for Love by Minerva Spencer
I love a bit of enemies to lovers and a second chance at love. Neither one’s story is what the other thought and they will only realize that after striking a deal. It’s clear from that start that they weren’t going to be able to resist each other. Fate brought them together for better reasons.
Oona was shocked to see him again and wasn’t prepared to give up her secrets. She did what she had to for her future when agreeing to his deal, but her heart took over.
Juss is set on revenge, but being alone with her and telling his story makes him realize that’s not what he wants. The truth will come out and his heart will win.
