"You Are The Love That Came Without Warning. You Had My Heart Before I Could Say No."
Every time I meet a couple and they say they been together 10+ years (I get all warm-fuzzy feeling) I'm a hopeless romantic! I love hearing about couples being in long-term relationships... And I love hearing about how they meet...
Every love story has a beginning.... {25} different romance authors come together and wrote a book about how they met their significant others. This was a short but sweet book. I love reading all the stories.

As with all anthologies, you get a mix. But if you're looking for a new author, anthologies are great! You might discover a new author to follow. This book will help, as after the author's "meet" story (all taken from previous blog postings), an excerpt of their book follows. All in all, it was an entertaining read.

An interesting author promo
This is a self-published promo piece created cooperatively by 24 different romance authors. I was only familiar with two of them prior to downloading this free ebook, and I discovered it through an Amazon recommendation link.
I'm always intrigued by the first-meet stories of married couples I know personally, and I was curious to learn how authors who make a career of writing about romance have experienced it in their own lives.
I was happy to discover that many of these authors go beyond simply describing how they met their husbands, expanding their narrative into highlights of their courtships. I also found it a fascinating coincidence that most of the authors in this collection knew their husbands for many years before marrying them--unlike typical romance heroes and heroines who tend to marry precipitously. In addition, many of these authors have been in very long, happy marriages, ranging from 19-45 years, which is quite inspiring, and very like the happily ever after that romance novels offer their readers.
After the authors' individual narratives, each provides an excerpt from of one of her most recent published books, and these novels represent a wide variety of subgenres of romance fiction, such as: historical, contemporary, comedy, erotica, paranormal and Christian. There is something here for almost every taste in romance.
I am rating this ebook as to how effective it is in promoting the authors participating in it. As a fan of the romance genre always looking for new authors to read, I believe that these authors have done a good job achieving their intended objective in promoting their work.

This was a good freebie. It was a little interesting to read the 'How did you meet?' stories, whether they were really short or a little longer. I liked most of the excerpts from the authors and added a lot more books to my ever growing to-read pile. This was interesting and a little fun to read. Something for just reading and not really an engrossing book. Overall pretty good and something different to read. Enjoy

Are these ladies clever, or what? Darn tooting!
In a brilliant (and FREE on Amazon) promotional tool, these romance authors all tell readers how they met their husbands, (ergo the title...) and then they share the cover and an excerpt from one of their books. Great idea, right? The excerpts are sure to whet your appetite and are guaranteed to add a few more books to your TBR list.

Super short, but pretty cute. I liked a couple of their stories better than others. I also skipped over the story excerpts because I was afraid of what they might have inside them after seeing their covers! 😂
3 stars.

What a lovely light read.
True stories of authors meeting their true loves - some really interesting ones.
Along with a sneak peek at one of their recent books and an excerpt to tempt you.
My only complaint is I've added a fair few new books to my wishlist :')
