This a collection of 6 short stories some of them clean and others not. My favorites were the first and last story. The high school story took me back talking about Madonna and Van Halen, but I would have been the nerd in that situation who wouldn’t have gone to parties and been involved in drinking, drugs, and sex. The matchmaker one with paranormal elements who was afraid to fall in love was cute. There was an older woman younger actor romance that had an insta love feel to it. I didn’t like the college student alternate universe one at all, but that’s not the kind of story I typically read. The dream story where the characters meet once a year in dreams from a young age was so sweet. I felt for them how they wanted it to be real when they woke up and how no one else could measure up to the soulmate in their dreams. The last story is timely dealing with romance during the pandemic. Two people see each other from a distance and end up playing music together, she from her rooftop and he from his apartment to the delight of their neighbors. It was sweet and spoke of love and connection across a distance during these times of social distancing.
This is a very cute collection of 6 short stories, just enough to get the heart pumping! The blurb gives you a good recap of what each one is about if you want to pick and choose the order to read them. Or you can do it the absolute easiest way and start at page 1 – no decisions needed!
These are the perfect stress-relievers that will put a smile on your face as you fall in love along with the characters. There’s my favorite touch, humor! And there is a little bit of everything in here, too, for your complete satisfaction. Grab your copy and enjoy!

A Piece of Cake
A matchmaker that doesn’t believe in love?
That’s what Emily thinks she believes. With the help of her mother, grandmother and a guy named Sam ,that just might change.
This is a wonderful short story that will move you to tears and make you smile and help you believe .A chance for love: I loved it.! Jess had Chance starting with
“You were amazing as the syphilis guy!” and ended with
“You should have gotten an Emmy for that.” Fame you can either let it get in the way , or not care what anyone thinks .
Unscheduled Departure :

This story is amazing. The choices we make and the ones we don’t define our timeline .Join Ro as she navigates her way through the unsettling and strange choice she didn’t realize she made. Edge of your seat intensity that will leaving you guessing.

Loved all the stories. They were all very different and original. The last on is about the Covid 19 quarantine.
Seven short reads! There are seven short stories in this book which are all great. It has Stolen Moments, It’s Just So Molly Ringwald, A Piece of Cake, A Chance for Love, Unscheduled Departure and From a Distance. My absolute favorite is Stolen Moments – this is about Aiden and Alanna. The way they meet in their dreams on the night of her birthday is something else. There is a pure while hawk that flies to them once it is time for them to wake from their dream. The last is the best as she is ready to marry another man but knows in her heart that she can’t and on her 25 birthday she decides to stay up all night and not sleep so that she doesn’t see Aiden. Life changes for her then. All of the other stories were great too, but this one was special!
