Around every corner and even right in front of you, love is spinning fabulous stories.
A young couple finding each other after a tragedy. Newlyweds celebrating that first Valentine’s Day as man and wife. The man who can’t stop reliving that first day with his true love, who would rather stop the world from turning than lose her.
Love comes from our dreams: teenage dragons who think one dance is all they’ll ever have, elves falling for a pair of shoes, a witch discovering magic with a flick of her fingers, or a summer fairy braving the frozen cold to find true love.
And love comes from the truth of finding our soulmates in the most unexpected of places and times.
Just like a kaleidoscope, every shade and shape of love is imprinted on our hearts. Maybe you’ll find a few of those stories of love in this book?

I’ve met these guys while reading the “Secrets” series and I love being in on the little surprise Salem has planned for his lady love. Bella is a dragon shifter and her mate Salem is a lion shifter. They have adorable 14 month old twin boys that they love dearly, but this is all about Bella and a dream she’s had since she herself was a child... it’s a short, beautiful story that made my heart smile.
Wow I really enjoyed being apart of this anthology. I loved the stories of my fellow authors and the romance just flowed from the pages. This is a quick fun read full of love and a joy to read!!!
In Ice Dreams you will find a short but sweet ice skating story that reminds even the most determined that sometimes more important things are in our future even when we think it isn't in our plans. The next one contains a bit of the forbidden and excitement. Next up is the college guy just waiting to experience life when a little luck and circumstance take over. Onto the magic, here you will find a pair never thought to mix. Vet tech finds more than just the blind date for the night, oh and watch for Bean!!!! All of these are quick little reads with some romance and quite a few paranormal stories. I like that they are short but interesting reads and there should be a little something for everyone within the collection.
If you love contemporary romantic fiction, then you will love these 8 PNR must reads, plus it's a great way to find new authors to read :) Unique stories that touch the heart and will keep readers engaged & turning pages :) I never recap blurbs or write spoilers but I highly recommend this set of stories to adult fans of fiction :)

REVIEW I was honored to be a part of this wonderful array of stories... I can honestly say I have not read any books by the authors in this boxset. Each story is truly heartwarming, romantic and very different from the next. One story we have ice skaters who have skated together for most of their lives only to realize they love each other very much when everything goes wrong. We have witches and vampires, and in other stories, we get fairies, and dragons oh my ... Then we get an elf who thinks he is darkness until a shoemaker opens his eyes and heart.
