I am a happily married mother of three (two boys and one girl). I live in a very small town in Alabama. Never lived anywhere else. I’ve been writing since my early twenties, but I couldn’t seem to finish a book. I’ve started self-publishing with the encouragement from my mom. Without her encouragement, I don’t think I would’ve done it. She always supported me and writing is something I’ve always enjoyed doing. As long as I enjoy it, I’ll continue to do it. I’ve learned already that I can’t please everyone. Not all reviews will be good, not all reviews will be bad. I’m the one that has to be happy with my work.

I get my inspiration from life experiences, movies, television, other authors, and music. Music is definitely a big influence on my writing. I can hear a song and it can inspire an entire book for me. I listen to it while I’m driving or before I start writing and it keeps me inspired. I like to put music in my books, even if it’s just one song the characters listen to or hear at some point. Sometimes music has gotten me through the really tough times in my life and that’s why it inspires me.

I like to write fast-paced, steamy romance reads. I like for my males to be alpha-males and my heroines to be strong, but both need to have one weakness- each other. I am an avid reader. I absolutely love romance books!

This was an interesting anthology to read. They were nearly all new to me authors and some genres that I’ve not read before.
For me the anthology started off great I loved the first 5 stories, they kept me engaged and showed the small town life of Corree Harbour. The last few books just weren’t for me. I tried really hard to keep an open mind and try something new. I hate leaving less than glowing reviews but I feel I have to be honest. However just because they weren’t for me certainly doesn’t mean they aren’t good and someone else may really enjoy them and there is certainly something for everyone in this book.
I’ve written a short review of each book detailing my thoughts after reading.

Deep in love :- Loved this. So nice to read about an older woman and younger man. Lakyn and Finn are great together. Finn is so positive and supportive of her, allowing her to shine and be who is in her heart. The descriptions of the b&m and harbour are amazing and I almost felt I was out on the boat with Finn.

Coached in Love :- I really enjoyed this. Logan had to make a tough decision when he was younger and Sailor paid the price. When he returns he know exactly who he wants and he doesn’t stop until Sailor known how he feels about her. Add in three teenage boys and it makes a great read. I love the pull Logan and Sailor feel for each other and how Sailor is finally able to lower her guard and let Logan in to love her fully.

Running in Love :- Absolutely amazing. I loved this so much, I couldn’t put it down and I couldn’t read fast enough. Holden and Lauren are the perfect match, they are drawn to each other, but both not ready for another love, they both have wrapped themselves in a protective blanket to ward off more hurt. However they simply can’t stop their feelings.
The suspense in this story, the back story from Lauren and then the hunt to find Ray was just the right amount for me and it all only helped show Lauren and Holden how perfect they are together. Such a sweet slow burn romance, where they respected each other enough to wait and talk things through and put what’s best for the other, first. That simple kiss at the end in front of their family was beautiful and perfect.

Lessons in Love :- Childhood sweethearts, torn apart and then fight to be together again. Being on stage together singing was very sweet and helped mend their hearts.

35 Seconds in Love :- What a great sports romance. This was more sport than romance, the detail about the basketball matches and the practises. Lawrence Hall clearly knows his stuff, even better, he has a daft laugh at himself by adding himself as a character in the book that the coaches have a laugh at.
The heart of this book was beautiful, the attraction between Ian and Jas was there from the start, but then in each of their flash backs we see their first meeting, each walking away saying to their fathers that they were going to marry each other. Simply beautiful.

Drunk in Love :- I loved the ending. Tommy and Phoebe finally getting everything they wanted.
This is a biker MC and for me it was just a touch too much, too bloody for me, this isn’t my normal genre.
The background showing us Phoebe and how she came to be the bar owner was nice, and after having seen the bar and Phoebe in previous stories in the anthology it was nice to see her story.

Stamped in Love :- This was something new for me, I’ve not read about Daddies and Littles before. It wasn’t really for me, however despite that I could see the spark between Murphy and Anabel, no matter how they chose to express it, they genuinely cared for each other. It was nice that Anabel had fears and doubts which were very realistic about this new relationship she was embarking on.
Not for me, but it was nicely written.

This book is made up of small stories. Most of these authors are new to me.
As you read you will notice that they are all from the same small town. They are standalone but some do mention others from books before, this whole book that the authors have put together is absolutely perfect.

1) Deep in love by Delaney Foster. new to me 5 stars

After a number of yrs being married to Adrian, Lakyn's world is shattered in an instant.
Taking time out she goes to her Aunt Daisy's in Coree Harbour knowing that her husband won't follow her there. What she needs time alone to figure out what she's to do.
Finn Douglas has had his fair share of ups and downs. While delivering to Daisy's he bumps into Lakyn, literally. Let the fun begin. This is a fab read. Loved it, deffo a page turner. Cant wait to read more by this Author. 5 stars

2) Coached In Love ... J.L. Leslie 5 stars

I absolutely love this authors work, her words just flow and bring you in.
Sailor is a bit of a loner since she lost her sister, though she does spend time with her nephews. while at work she finds out that Logan Decker NFL player the boy she'd loved is moving back to Coree Harbour, her world has now just turned upside down.
After Logan leaves his NFL career behind he heads for his old home town, takeing his teenage son with him. When he runs into Sailor he doesn't recognize her and this right here is where the story starts to unfold. loved this story, was rooting for them all the way. 5 stars

3) Running in love by JL Long 5 stars
This is a new Author to me.

Lauren and her daughter are new in town, but shes harbouring secrets. In the past she has not made friends and when the heat is up she moves on. But rolling into Coree Harbour she feels totally at ease.
This is a real nice read, with a twist ...you no something is wrong but you dont no what or to the extent. Holden knows shes lieing but about what. When she starts to reveal bits of herself other stuff happens. really enjoyed this will be looking up the author for future reads.

4) Lesson in love by Jade Royal. 4 stars
New Author to me

Brendon and Londynn have known each other since they were kids.
His into music big time. He's offered a recording contract so he leaves for Texas with the promise of coming back.
Londynn stays back in Coree Harbour waiting for him. Years later he turns back up. This is a sweet story. It has some heart felt moments.


5) 35 Seconds in Love by Lawrence Hall 4 star

Sport romance is not really my thing, but having said that, it was a good read. At the start of the book the author puts all the phases that you need to understand about basketball.

Ian Boyer is the best player until something happens. After his disappearing act for two years, he comes back.
Jasmine was probably the female version of Ian. A couple of years older then Ian she puts him through his paces. With feelings aside she gets him to be the best player he can be in Coree Harbour.

Wow! I  just loved this book, a wonderful anthology written by some of the most popular romance writers today.  Whether it is the Postmistress and the Author finding their fantasies of what love could be coming true by Pepper North, going home while starting over, needing to find yourself again maybe this time with a younger man by Delaney Foster,losing one love while learning to live again to finially healing enough to try to finding love again by J.L. Long, losing your first love to follow your basketball dreams to only return years later and find her again by JL Leslie, after being broken by love there is no way I'm trying that again or so I thought till he showed up and wouldn't take no for an answer by Leah Negron, following my dreams of music took me far from home and the girl of my dreams so when I returned and she is still there, this time I won't leave her behind by Jade Royal, and finially my dreams are coming true coaching men's basketball but why did I have to meet him now and why is he one of my teams players by Lawrence Hall. Each of these books has it's own special couple and it all starts in "Coree Harbor: the town where every sunrise brought a new begining, and hope rolled in with the waves,".

DEEP IN LOVE - DELANEY FOSTER = At first I felt bad and thought forgiveness should be extended, but I genuinely loved Lakyn's tenacity and self reliance. Aunt Daisey had beautiful wisdom to impart at appropriate timing. I loved Finn's age beyond his years and his love of Lakyn's independence. From two tragic relationships, an unlikely love story is birthed. A beautiful story with awesome characters.

COACHED IN LOVE - JL LESLIE = I love second chances. And for as many roadblocks that were encountered by Logan and Sailor, I also laughed. I'm glad for the hiccups between them, because the love for them was real, not just a physical attraction.

RUNNING IN LOVE - JL LONG = Well as cozy as the title sounds the key word is running and it had me looking over my should in expectation of "the bad guys" to catch up to Lauren. Holden, Quin & Liam were so deserving of happiness and the family unit. Great story. Awesome characters.

LESSON IN LOVE - JADE ROYAL = I'm a sucker for second chances, but this couple had that and a 3rd chance. An awesome rock star story.

35 SECONDS IN LOVE - LAURENCE HALL = Excellent story for the lovers of basketball. The visuals and the announcers had you right in the game!

DRUNK IN LOVE - LEAH NEGRON = An awesome biker story. Crucial secrets and new lives.

STAMPED IN LOVE - PEPPER NORTH = These two individuals were quick to become a couple in a new to me fashion. *bulging eyes*

Review Deep in love by Delaney Foster:

After finding out she being cheated on by her husband she is headed hometown to her aunt. It is there where she finds herself again and also a new loved.


Review for coached by J.L. Leslie:

This is a sweet second chance romance.
With a little trouble at the side. The setting is in a small town with all the gossip and the curiosity and there is a happy ending.

J.L Long- Running in Love:

Lauren and her little girl have been running around for 3 years, when they finally arrive in Coree Harbor. This town feels good but there is always danger around the corner. Will they be able to stay there? A second chance at love love with suspense on the side.


Jade Royale- Lesson in Love:

This is Brendon and Londynn’s story, married at a very young age Brendon want to be a singer. Londynn is happy where she is and the odds works against them. This is a second chance story


Lawrence Hall- 35 seconds in love:
Dnf.


Leah Negron- Drunk in Love
Love. This book. Phoebe was left at the altar that would not happen again.
Together with her best friend she set’s up her business and than danger is lurking around. Tommy’s past is following him. Will they still get together?



Pepper North- Stamped in love

A wonderful BDSM story Daddy and little girl. Anabel is working at the Post Office, secretly dreaming.. then a stranger come’s in to the postoffice. I loved this story. It is written in a fast paste and vividly.

Loved this anthology! The best part of an anthology is I always find new authors to read. This one is no different, I can't not wait to see what those authors have for me.
Great reads each and every single one! Was going to review them individually, but decided on doing it as a whole.
Definitely highly recommended.

I loved the continuity from story to story in bringing forward previous characters and locations around Coree Harbor. There's also some backstories explained. Deep In Love By Delaney Foster, broken finds broken when Lakyn and Finn find each other. Coached In Love By JL Leslie solves Sailor's determination to not be single and desparate when Logan returns. Fleeing and grieving come together and finds resolution when Lauren rents from Holden in Running In Love By JL Long. Lessons In Love by Jade Royal finally bring Brendon and Londynn back together after ten years. Lawrence Hall's 35 Seconds In Love counts down Ian and Jasmine's trials and tribulations. Drunk in Love by Leah Negron reveals Tommy's secrets after he goes to work for Phoebe. Lucas X. Black exposes Coree Harbor's dark side when Carrie and Aaron get together, and support each other through tragedies. I absolutely love the time jump epilogue. Anabel and Murphy find what they are each searching for in Pepper North's Stamped In Love.

I just loved this book! There are so many sweet, small-town romances, I just couldn’t put it down! I was going to review each story separately, but they’re all so good I can’t delineate!

I loved that someone from each couple grew up in Coree Harbor, I l loved the connection to the town. I also loved the people of the town. In so many small-town books the townspeople are not welcoming but that’s not the case here. They love the incoming folks.

I also liked the sexy times! They were hot! They weren’t overdone either. I like that each story progressed at a believable pace, even though the stories were short. I also liked the diversity of each person in the stories - no two stories were alike, but they were definitely cohesive. It didn’t feel like a bunch of authors wrote on their own. You can really feel the collaboration as the townspeople were consistent through the stories.

Loved it overall!

This is a book of short stories
Each story has made me want to read more about these wonderful characters and Coree Harbor.


Deep in love by Delaney Foster I absolutely love. I can't wait for the extended version comes out. Plus to get to know Finn son Max better.

Coached in love by J. L. Leslie: Its a second chance at love. I caught myself LOL a few times. I loved how it was in the same town as the first story.

Running in love J L LONG: OMG yes we get to see Sailor brother in law in this story. We met him shortly in Coached in love.

Lesson in love by Jade Royal: a second chance at love when your knows what it wants but life keeps you apart. I actually think if they would have tried harder they wouldn't had to have waited all those years apart. This story I was a bit disappointed by the writing at times. I found myself confused at times. I will give this 4.5 stars.

35 Seconds in love by Lawrence Hall: I'm a fan of this authors work. I was so happy to be to recieve this arc because I really wanted to read this story. I definitely loved it and especially the basketball references.

Drunk in love by Leah Negron: Wow I always wondered what happened to Chad. Phoebe never saw that coming and so did I. What a beautiful ending definitely had ne crying.

Stamped in love by Pepper North: I thought I have read it all but boy was I wrong. I never read a book on age play before. Where the Daddy takes care of the woman like if she was a child.

What a great collection of short stories! Seven different stories by seven different authors, yet they all blended beautifully with one another. The collection is set in one small town with each author focusing on a different couple. Some stories are sweet, some steamy but they all hit the spot! Great job!

4 1/2 Star Read. This anthology has a little bit of everything romance for everyone. A couple of the stories I personally couldn't quite get into but I persevered and read them though, though others may love them.
Deep in Love by Delaney Foster
Lakyn is happily married to her husband of twenty years until that day everything came to a crashing end. Shattered she leaves and goes to stay with her Aunt in Coree Harbour. The longer she stays the more she finds herself again. Finn is a fisherman and single dad and bumps into Lakyn while dropping off a seafood order to her aunt. I really enjoyed this story and hope to read more of Lakyn and Finn's story.

Coached in Love by J.L Leslie
When he is younger Logan has a life-changing decision to make which wrecks Sailor. Years later when he returns to Coree harbor he keeps bumping into Sailor much to her annoyance. Logan thinks this is fate telling him he is meant to be with her. Between them, they have 3 boys so this all adds to the fun.

Running in Love by J.L Long
Wow, this one once I started it was hard to put this read down. Lauren and her daughter Ray end up in Coree harbor and Lauren this is where she needs to stop. She has been on the move for so long she hopes she can stay here as long as possible. Things fall into place when she manages to score a job and a place to live. Holden is a widower and single dad of two boys. He also happens to be the town's police chief. Will Lauren be able to make Coree harbor her forever home or will her past shes running from catch up with her and she'll have to move on once again.

Lesson in Love by Jade Royal

Brendon and Londynn childhood sweethearts torn apart. Ten years later he's in town and Londynn hets irritated he seems to be hanging around everywhere she goes. Will they manage to fall in love once again.

35 Seconds in Love by Lawrence Hall

This one is a sports romance but concentrating more on the game itself than a romance between Jasmine and Ian. Each chapter is a countdown of 35 seconds. Basketball lovers will definitely love this read.

Drunk in Love by Leah Negron

When the local bar goes up for sale Phoebe decides to buy it and make a few changes and renovate adding some new features. On opening night Tommy an ex MC member riding across the country. He goes to help during an incident but he sees feisty Phoebe doesn't need any help. Will Tommy be safe in Coree harbor or will his past catch up with him.

Stamped in Lobe by Pepper North

I loved this Little story between Annabel and her daddy Murphy. Annabel works in the post office and meets Murphy one day when he comes to hire a mailbox for his mail. If you love Daddy's and their littles books you cant go wrong with Pepper's stories.

I received an arc for NNBB to do an honest review. One good thing about anthologies you can find new authors which I did with this one. If you love reading quick reads in the romance genre you will like this one due to it having a variety of different romance genres.

I love reading anthologies! They give us a chance to read new authors as well as give us more stories from the authors that we love!

🖤 Deep in Love by Delaney Foster

Lakyn Prescott is starting over after heartbreak. Finn Douglas is a younger man who suffered heartbreak in the past. What happens during a chance encounter in a kitchen?

🖤 Running in Love by JL Long

Lauren Harris is running from her past. Holden Pierce can't let go of his grief.

JL Long is a new to me author as well and not the last time I will read their books. This was a sweet and action filled story. The romance was a slow burn but totally swoon worthy. I was looking forward to Holden's story since reading about him in Coached in Love. This did not disappoint!

🖤 Lesson in Love by Jade Royal

Brendon Oakes and Londynn Hemingway were in love when they were younger. Fast forward over 10 years and is the love still there for a second chance?

🖤 Drunk in Love by Leah Negron

Phoebe Wolfe was left at the altar and her heart was crushed. She will never love another man. Tommy Cross is on the run from his past. He's trying to stay alive, not fall in love.

Leah Negron is a new to me author. I love an MC book and this one was a lite version. I loved Phoebe's attitude and her best friend, Lisa, cracked me up. Tommy was the bad boy that I love to read about. I will definitely be looking for more from this author.

🖤 Stamped in Love by Pepper North

Anabel Sanchez works at the post office and longs for a Daddy. Murphy Walsh is a well known author and longs for the small town life. He's also looking for his Little girl.

Pepper North is one of my all time, go to authors for a Daddy book. I loved this book! Murphy was a Daddy that wasn't too harsh but just right. He was so patient with Anabel. Would highly recommend this book!

This is Jasmine and Ian's basketball filled story. Ian's dreams of going pro were shattered when his brother died.

Stamped In Love by Pepper North

This book is a bit different from the rest and may not be everyone's cup of tea. Murphy and Anabel's book is a DD/Lg. I really liked that their book was different and stayed true to the author's writing style.

I enjoyed this collection of stories set in Coree Harbor and I hope everyone else does too.

1) Deep In Love by Delaney Foster

Loved this story! I really enjoyed that this was an older woman and younger man age gap romance. I just loved Finn so much and how he was so supportive of Lakyn. Lakyn and Finn were perfect together. A beautiful story of finding love again.

2) Coached In Love by J.L. Leslie

I absolutely adored Logan and Sailor’s story. Logan leaves the NFL and returns to his hometown. Sailor is a loner and has built a wall up as to not to be hurt again. When Logan returns home he’s determined to make Sailor understand how he feels about her. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to read what would happen next. This second chance romance was amazing.

3) Running In Love by JL Long

Such a great story! Lauren and her daughter are new to Coree Harbour. She likes the town, but knows danger could catch up sooner rather than later. Will she open up and trust Holden? Holden and Lauren were just perfect together. An exciting and suspense filled read.

4) Lesson In Love by Jade Royal

Brendon and Londynn were childhood sweethearts. Brendon left Coree
Harbour to follow his dream of music and Londynn stayed behind. Now after ten years they brought together again. A really sweet second chance love story.

5) 35 Seconds In Love by Lawrence Hall

A good sports romance. I liked both Ian and Jasmine’s characters. I really enjoyed all the details of the games and practices that were added.

6) Drunk In Love by Leah Negron

I just loved this biker MC story. What can I say about Tommy and Phoebe other than they are perfect for each other. I thoroughly enjoyed their story and the ending is great!

7) Stamped In Love by Pepper North

Loved this story! Anabel and Murphy find what they’re looking for in each other. A wonderfully written BDSM story and I definitely recommend it.

This is a really well done anthology focused around the people of the small town of Coree Harbor, North Carolina. Deep In Love features a woman whose marriage has just disintegrated after 20 years. Lakyn reinvents herself and starts over, finding love with a younger man.
Coached In Love focuses on a man who gave up his NFL career to be a good father to his son, and comes back to his hometown to be the head football coach at the high school. He reconnects with the girl he left behind, and they find love again.
Running In Love has the mafia coming after a young mother and her six-year-old daughter, but luckily the police Chief won't let them win. After losing his wife to cancer, Lauren and Ray are bringing life back into his world.
Lesson In Love is about a musician who left to follow his dreams, and never came back for his young wife. Can they work it out now, ten years later?
35 Seconds In Love tells the story of two basketball stars who think their careers are over when tragedies strike, but time will show that they are just getting started.
Last, Stamped In Love is about a Little girl who finds her Daddy at the post office.
Five of the stories end with a happily ever after, and the other two end in a happy for now. Every story is different, and the backdrop of coastal North Carolina features in each one. The characters show up in multiple books, although the stories do not run concurrently. Beautifully done, it is a five star read for sure.

35 Seconds In Love tells the story of two basketball stars who think their careers are over when tragedies strike, but time will show that they are just getting started.
Last, Stamped In Love is about a Little girl who finds her Daddy at the post office.
Five of the stories end with a happily ever after, and the other two end in a happy for now. Every story is different, and the backdrop of coastal North Carolina features in each one. The characters show up in multiple books, although the stories do not run concurrently. Beautifully done, it is a five star read for sure.

That was an amazing collection! Each author delivered something different about this small town of Coree Harbor. Each author brought you a different story like second chances, bdsm, betrayal and taboo fantasy. The one that I think was the most heartbreaking was Lawman in Love by Lucas X Black. Faith and trust are put to the test in this one. Overall I loved each one. A must read collection of great authors, some I'd already read and some new that I look forward to reading more from. Pepper North gave me a new taboo/fantasy to look into reading more of.

This anthology takes place entirely in the small town of Coree Harbor. I enjoyed how every story brought in some characters from the others.


Deep In Love — Delaney Foster -5 ⭐ - perfect start to this anthology. I can't wait for the extended version!
Coached In Love — J.L. Leslie - 5 ⭐ - I loved this 2nd chance romance. Logan and Sailor were too cute, Logan would do anything to prove to Sailor how he feels
Running In Love — JL Long - 5 ⭐ - Holden is absolutely perfect for Lauren (& Ray.) They absolutely save each other
Lesson In Love — Jade Royal - 4⭐ - Londynn & Brenden singing together is everything
35 Seconds In Love — Lawrence Hall - 4⭐ - sports romance isn't really my thing but I still enjoyed this story
Drunk In Love — Leah Negron - 3⭐ - MC romance - It was a but too much for me but I enjoyed the characters together
Stamped In Love — Pepper North - 1⭐ I couldn't get into this one. Daddy play does not at all appeal to me

Oh my gosh. I loved this anthology!! Unlike many anthologies I have picked up, this one included “short” stories that weren’t all that short. It truly is like a big box set of romance novels. I also really enjoyed the links between books with characters. It’s like a mini series which focuses on one couple each time but they other characters pop in to say “hey- remember me?” on occasion. I also found it fascinating how each included author brought their own style and trope to the party but they were all similar enough to still make it feel like one book.

I was just going to get this book because of Pepper North, but all of the books were good, so now I have some new authors to try!! All of these feature different couples in the same small town and some of the characters appear in multiple stories.

Good group of stories.

This is a wonderful little town. These stories are all separate but all take place in the same town with connecting characters.

What a power anthology by some pretty amazing authors.

When I started reading this, I had no problem going from story to story, so much that I felt like I was reading one novel, as all the characters are intermingled.

Sure, you get some favourites but in the end, you really fall in love with not only the characters but also the small town they all live in.

Thank you to every single author who contributed to this amazing set of stories. Your words bring us smiles in these uncertain times and I am soooo happy I was able to read this!!!!
