Under a New York Skyline:
(You, Me, and Comic Con)
This story was sweet, without being over the top. Characters learned and grew, without making cringe-worthy mistakes. (You know how sometimes, a character does something, and you’re just sitting in your chair, screaming in your head, “No! Always tell your parents where you’re going to be! Allllwwwaaaaayys!!” Yeah. This isn’t one of those books.) I loved the peripheral characters, I loved the unique setting - I’ve never read a story set in a Comic Con!

After years of hanging out with Young Adult authors all with different publishers, we finally accomplished our dream of writing something together. Love you Kathi, Maureen, and Teresa. To you readers, I hope you find it to be as sweet and romantic as I did. Thank you so much for giving our collection of novellas a chance!
My favorite aspects of the stories, btw, are the one-liners about Comic Con, Marky's total hotness, the world-building around the faes trapped in present-day New York (I swear I'm now going to look for them lurking on subways--so real), and the chapter hooks in Glorianna's story. My daughter's favorite is the first story. My mom's is mine (ha! huge surprise). As editor, I give it up to the fae story as being the strongest in my opinion. I also let it have to most words, because, well, we just all wanted more of Maureen's story. :)
New York and romance on every page. My kinds of stories.

They definitely saved the best novella for last in this collection. The first was my least favorite, but they get better and better from there. "CrossTrain my heart and hope to die", the second story, was a fun one that reminded me of those intense teenage crushes I'm sure we all had in high school. The plot held its own, and I truly couldn't have guessed the twist at the end. The third novella was the biggest surprise. I wasn't expecting where that one went at all! It felt like the world Maureen L. Mills created could have been the foundation for a series. And then finally, I absolutely loved Teresa Richards' "you, me, and comic con" and would give that story alone five stars. Her writing pulls you in immediately. It's engaging and witty, and her characters feel real. I love the route the story took, and wanted more!

A fun collection of stories about love in New York City. The first story is a modern American tale on Roman Holiday. The second is a cute, musical tale about love and exercise. The third, If We Shadows, was my personal favorite. The characters were funny and the magic well-integrated. It had heart and meaning. The last was a nice, geeky romp. Each story has a unique feel and good set of characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the entertaining stories and would recommend the book to those who love a sweet romance and need some wholesome entertainment.

I think like many other reviews did mention it is tough to write a review for 4 different authors ... I did enjoy reading several authors I might not have had the chance to read if I had not check this one out, I found it through Instafreebie ... loved it!! I love New York city ... never lived there just visited a few times. Can't imagine living there all the time ... too noisy for that. I prefer the country. I will be checking out more from each author .... such a great read. enjoyable. quick read for me. ( ;

Seriously cute and fun! Sweet and sassy.
NEW YORK HOLIDAY by Kathi Oram Peterson
It's like Roman Holiday and An Affair to Remember - with the Prime Minister's daughter and a security guard.
CROSSTRAIN MY HEART AND HOPE TO DIE by Nikki Trionfo
The CrossFit gym and the dance studio have a fierce competition. This one has chemistry. And everything goes so wrong before going right.
IF WE SHADOWS by Maureen L. Mills
The paranormal story in this mix of contemporary romance - regular girl meets not-regular boy and goes on a life-changing adventure. Tugged at my heart.
YOU, ME, AND COMIC CON by Teresa Richards
Skateboarding girl gets dumped, follows her ex to the Comic Con, and meets the best Captain America, sweet guy. Loved this one!
I enjoyed each of these. My favorites were the 2nd and 4th.

Content: Clean - some violence

Rating: 3.5 stars
Content: Clean
If We Shadows: I found the idea behind this story quite intriguing. I wasn't expecting it, but I liked it. I thought this was a great story with great characters.

Fun collection!
I loved this collection! Like New York itself it was eclectic, a little weird at times, but amazing, nonetheless! This was a fantastic assortment from authors that I am definitely going to check into! It was clean, I'd rate it PG, with elements of sweet teen romance in each!

So darling! I especially loved You, Me, and Comic Con--I couldn't believe how many different worlds the author stuffed into it, and I loved the characters in that one the most. But they're all cute reads.

Cute, well-written stories for younger teens. I thought New York Holiday was clever and fun; Crosstrain My Heart and Hope to Die was creative, except I didn't care for the vernacular; If We Shadows maintained a faster pace and displayed some interesting and expressive writing; and finally, You, Me, and Comic Con started with a catchy hook, then portrayed a character a reader could really root for.
