I'm not going to rate or review since this is a sampling of books. But I will say there were a couple in there that caught my attention and I just might add them to my TBR list!

Well great now Amazon has just made more money off of me!! Can't wait to read the rest of the books I bought from this bundle

I like all the sampler stories from all the authors. The book was short & sweet. I think Cinder & Ella, Investigating the Hottie, Taking The Reins, Stalk Me, Adventures in Funeral Crashing, The Academy should all be PG-13 movies or TV series on Lifetime or on ABC family, I would like to see them on the screen. That would be cool.

I really liked all of the excerpts here and they achieved their goals--I ended up buying all of the books and reading most of the series I discovered through this when I hadn't heard of most of the authors otherwise. I like that I now have more authors to look forward to.

A sweet bunch of love stories put together with the same characters. Why couldn't the authors make one continuous story with the same relationships going on simultaneously?


MUST FIGURE OUT DATE FINISHED!!!

Really interesting read.

I already knew two of the stories, both of which I really enjoyed.
Some of the others I sought out after reading the first few chapters here.

Short and fun, that's all I have to say.

This is such a cool idea! I loved getting to read the first few chapters of a couple of different books. I found some that I think I will really enjoy!
