Sharing on Shared Whispers
Congratulations to Dani Collins and Jude Johnson on the Goodreads review on their stories in the Shared Whispers anthology. While it is never possible to please every reader with every story in an anthology, especially one that crosses genres, among the comments in the review were to call "Heart of a Rebel a story that pulled me into a world that was intriguing" and "Jude Johnson has written a story that actually reads like a blockbuster movie spiel to a producer."

PS - I wanted to offer my personal congratulations to Chris Fenge. You worked hard on the story and it showed in what the reader called an 'emotional ride.'

CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
Beyond Forever by M. W. Davis - Two ill-fated lovers from the past show a modern day couple the real meaning of love.
Special Delivery by Linda Rettstatt - During a blizzard, a road sign promised sanctuary from the storm until a woman running from her past learns the doctor is a veterinarian.
The Setup by Victoria Roder - Blowing off a blind date might mean avoiding an unpleasant evening with a stranger—or being saved by one.
Life at Full Speed by Ute Carbone - Sparks fly when a prosecutor and a man she almost sent to prison meet under unusual circumstances—a speed dating event.
Frozen Section by Jane Toombs - An acknowledgement of a past loss does more than thaw a woman's heart. It opens the path to an unplanned future—and a family she never expected to have.
After the Tears by Angelica Hart and Zi - Grief darkened the future, until love took a hand.
