5 stars!
This is a collection of 14 short stories by Kathryn Nolan and features an amazing variety of contemporary, historical, M/F, M/M, F/F and M/F/M stories! Some are more smutty, others are more romantic, but all of them are well written and engaging. Below is a quick summary and review of each short.
One Hell of a Resturant - Super hot and a very unique premise that follows three different couples hooking up while at a restaurant.
Wild Horse - Cute story about a cowboy falling for his brother's ex-fiance. This has the potential to be expanded for sure!
The Hero and the Rookie - A longer story featuring a menage relationship between a woman, her firefighter boyfriend, and his new co-worker. I've never read a MFM where all participants were intimate before and it was HOT.
Did you touch yourself? - Not one of my stand outs due to the second person narrative and the D/s relationship, which personally isn't my cup of tea. I can see why others would like it though!
The Gift - A sweet, historical romance about a woman in love with the man betrothed to her sister. Cute HEA ending and I could definitely see this working as a longer novella.
He was Luke Skywalker (Not Han Solo) - One of my favourites. College house party 'locked in the coat closet together' hook-up between two friends with great chemistry. I'd LOVE a full length version of this one!
Like Thieves in the Night - Very unique short about two rival criminals at a robbery hiding from the cops and hooking up. The enemies to lovers aspect was super sexy.
Ambrose - Another historical romance featuring an older, wealthy woman and her younger gardener. Not my favourite trope but the sex scene was great.
The Wedding - Another longer one, this time a M/M friends to lovers. I don't usually read M/M because I find it easier to relate to female characters, but this was a sweet and sexy romance with a great HEA. Very well developed plot and characters for such a short story.
Another Boring Night at the Opera - Established MFM relationship. Really hot and the dynamics between the three were very well written, but I think 'The Hero and the Rookie' is the better of the menage shorts, probably due to it's longer length.
Seize the Day - F/F teacher & student hookup. Not one of the standouts but still good.
She'll Always Know The Truth - Dom/Sub, all sex, no romance. Not to my taste but I know others will enjoy it.
Let It Be You - About a young couple getting back together after four years apart. He waited to loose his virginity with her. Super sweet second chance romance.
Like Petals for the Sun - This was an excerpt from a full length forbidden coworker romance which is releasing later this year. Lacking the sex aspect but there's some making out action and it's a great tease for the future release!
