War of Hearts by Annette Lyon - 3 ⭐️ I enjoyed the part about the h’s passion for her job as a journalist more than the romance. This story packs a lot of information for such a short story. It made me want to learn more about the Winter War and the “Sausage War”.
The Earl of Oaksey Takes a Wife by G.G. Vandagriff - 1 ⭐️The female MC is immature and the male MC is even more immature. He is inconsiderate, insensitive, selfish and even more foolish than the h. The h being ignorant of his financial difficulties is understandable, him neglecting his wife is unforgivable. Why did the h has to be the one to apologize? I understand that the h is in error too for jumping into conclusions but the H’s actions only reinforced the h’s belief that he only wants her for the money. How can I believe he genuinely loves her? None of his actions shows that he cares for the heroine more than he cares for himself. The HEA is unconvincing.
Gift of Love by Michele Paige Holmes - 2 ⭐️ It would be better if it is more subtle. I could see the twist miles away.
A Lesson in Love by Sarah M. Eden - 4 ⭐️ This is the right way to write a short story imho. It’s not rushed. There’s even character growth for both main characters. The main issue is resolved satisfactorily. The HEA is believable. Why not 5 stars? I just find the part where the H and the h’s family play acting near the end silly and unnecessary. What’s the purpose of that?
An Ocean Away by Heather B. Moore - 3 ⭐️ The instalove just didn’t work for me this time but I still enjoyed Ms. Moore’s writing. There is a conflict that was not resolved. The reaction of the h’s father to her running away to be with the H.
What Happens in Venice by Nancy Campbell Allen - 3.5 ⭐️ *swoons* The instalove worked for me. It might be because of the fairytale-like atmosphere.
