Love on the Brain, A short story collection
Delaney Diamond
B+

In Love on the Brain, a short story collection, Ms. Diamond gives readers new stories as well as additional information on characters that have become favorites. A Taxicab Confession is a great introduction. I’m intrigued and hope Ms. Diamond completes this story in the future.

Fans remember Dahlia Sommers and Prince Kofi Karunzika from the book Princess of Zambia. I enjoyed learning about how the couple met in Kofi. Prince Kofi has such a commanding presence. That is part of what draws Dahlia to him. Their attraction is electrifying. The Prince is used to getting what he wants. It’s not a big deal to send someone on a plane ride for a special meal. I enjoyed this origin story, I only wish we would have learned more about Dahlia and Prince Kofi during certain time periods.

Thirty Minutes is about a couple who is stuck in an elevator on their way to finalize their divorce. A lot can happen in that period of time. Ms. Diamond highlights how relationships are impacted when someone doesn’t deal with their family issues. She also highlights that the love two people share can get lost when there is a lack of communication.

The highlight of the stories is Happily Ever After in Hopevale. I really enjoyed Almost Perfect of the Cordoba Agency series and this story picks up where Almost Perfect left off. Hunter and Sable are getting settled in their new home. Sable is working on getting her Antique shop open and Hunter continues to work for the Cordoba agency. Sable and Hunter find themselves working on an issue together and still both get riled up from the andrenaline, which increases their need for each other. Despite everything going well, Sable still has doubts about their future. Drama finds them again, however the Cordoba agency is always ready to jump into action. This short story is packed with drama and romance and I enjoyed it.

I found myself enjoying the stories more that were about characters I was familiar with. Overall, I recommend this collection of short stories. Reviewed for romanceincolor.com

I loved catching up with old characters

Each story was a nice glimpse into what's happening with the characters from previous stories. It was nice to see that Sable stole Hunters heart and refused to give it back. I liked their story the best, as it had the mystery parts I love. I loved them all..

good read

You know how you don’t want to start a long book but want to read anyway. This hits just right. Meet some old and new characters. Pick up some strings from other stories.

Love on the brain is right love a hold on everyone very tightly. The Taxicab Connection was sweet. Prince Kofi was to demanding and Dahlia did whatever he said. Jose and Yolanda just need communicate better. Hunter and was exciting.
