This is one of the best of these novella collections that I have read. I enjoyed every single story- especially the first one about the hiking guides. There were both historical and contemporary stories- all tied together with the love letter theme. I do have to say though, that the one about a teacher and a principle was a little awkward- especially having been a teacher of teenagers. It seemed very inappropriate for the students to know about such a relationship and that so much of it happened at school. Otherwise- the stories were great!

Not really into collections, however, this one just got better and better as read further. Left me wanting more of it, it was that good.

Loved, loved this collection of 6 short stories! Each was so different and unique but the with the common thread of a love letter. I have loved all the Timeless Romance Anthology collections, but I think this might be my new favorite one. Wonderful authors and wonderful stories!
(My only minor complaint is that the last story kept switching names between Bevans and Devans and it was a little confusing/annoying at times.)

Maggie's Song: Loved this one, cute setting, fun characters, fun play off each other, and loved how Maggie finally told Lucas she liked him. It actually made me want to go hike and camp with Maggie and Lucas's guide business!
Just Fly: Cute concept. Loved the characters (Dot was hilarious!!), their interactions with each other, and the things they tackled together on the bucket list. It wrapped up pretty quickly. I would have enjoyed reading a bit more but still a cute, fun, entertaining short story.
How to Rewrite a Love Letter: Cute, a bit cheesy in parts, but I loved the concept of the high school kids and their love letter fundraiser. It would be interesting to see if that would really fly. Starting this story off with the Beethoven letter was very interesting to me. Would have liked those one to be just a bit longer for a little more character development, to get to know the main ones just a bit more. Some of that seemed a bit rushed to me, but it's a short story, so there's not a lot of time/room for that, I guess. Still, another fun and entertaining read!
A Thousand Words: Cute historical short story, a bit predictable after it got going, but I loved the beginning and how Shannon and Patrick communicated with their love letters in pictures. The setting reminded me a bit of the movie Far and Away.
Between the Lines: Another historical short, very cute and fun to see the situation Thomas gets himself into with Jane and how he tries to undo it so he can be with her. Was definitely rooting for those 2 to straighten it out so they could see what was right in front of their eyes. Also loved the inclusion of the play of Peter Pan and the poetry of Elizabeth Barrett Browning and her husband Robert.
Blackberry Hollow: Another historical short. I really liked Lucy and her spunk and determination, once she let go of thinking about Robert and what he would want and letting herself shine through. This story really could have developed longer and I would have enjoyed reading every detail of how Calvin and Lucy's relationship developed.

All of these stories were so cute and heartfelt. I loved the different time periods that were shown and that each story was unique.
