Heart2Heart: A Contemporary Charity Anthology, Vol. 7

Synopsis

Once upon a time SIX YEARS AGO, the Heart2Heart app made its first batch of incredibly unlikely (but oh-so-perfect) love matches. So a fresh, new group of your favorite authors wondered… what happens when the world’s most perceptive dating software gets an upgrade, just in time for Valentine’s Day?

Will the porcelain teacup collector, the shy rugby player, and the bank robber with a heart of gold find their perfect matches? Only fate (and C.U.P.I.D) know.

As always, all proceeds from this anthology will benefit LGBTQ+ charities to ensure that love in all its incarnations will be celebrated and protected every single day of the year!

Stories included in this collection are: Among Friends, by Annabeth Albert A New Thrill, by Avril Ashton Brie Mine, by Charlie Novak When CUPID Strikes, by Cora Rose Mixed Signals, by E.M. Lindsey August’s Thief, by Fearne Hill Skating After You, by Hayden Hall Wings of Love, Jackie North Love in Bloom, by Jocelynn Drake The Shape of the Heart’s Desire, K.C. Wells Meat Cute, by Kelly Fox Mixed Motives, by Leslie McAdam

My Thoughts

As with every Heart2Heart Anthology I read, there were some hits, and there were some misses. But overall, we’re gonna keep this review short and sweet.

I loved the concept of this anthology, and each story was interesting, and unique. I loved some more than others, and I’ve definitely added a couple of new authors to my future reading list.

Every time I read one of these anthologies, I wait in impatient anticipation for the next one. And luckily for me, there’s the Paranormal half I get to explore next!

12 Surprise/Accidental Pregnancy Romance Books

An underrated trope, I don’t read a lot of accidental pregnancy/surprise baby romance books, but I often enjoy them when I do. I love a good fling to more romance – one night stand, weekend hookup, or Vegas wedding – and the result of those reckless decisions frequently comes in the form of a baby. While surprise pregnancies happen in a lot of romance books, most of these books embrace that…

REVIEW: Curious by Leslie McAdam (ARC)

Click the image to preorder on Amazon Summary I’m desperately attracted to my husband.Which wouldn’t be a problem, except he’s straight.What happened is, my longtime crush/hero got badly injured saving me from my evil ex-boyfriend. When I found out he (my hero, not my ex) didn’t have health insurance, I did the logical thing: I proposed. To my surprise, he said yes.I knew that Camden wasn’t…

Review:  The Nøkk and the Jock (Creepin U Book 1)  by Leslie McAdam

Rating: 4.5🌈 I love it when I learn about different cultures or areas of mythology through stories.  Here it’s about the Nøkk, a Scandinavian or Norse being that shapeshifts into a water dwelling human form that lures people by violin playing and/or drowning by screaming. That’s a simplified version of a complex,  widely accepted concept of a being used in gaming , storytelling derived from…

== Love Notes ==

Hey there lovelies. I wasn't sure if I was going to get these done in time tonight... what with how behind I am. I know that a lot of us are all very worried about what's going on in the world, and specific in the US with the presidential elections about to happen. No matter what the results are, I know it doesn't just affect the U.S., it affects the whole planet. So many of our crewmates from around the world have been sending support and love, and I'm so very thankful to have the honor of knowing you all. Just remember, that no matter what happens tomorrow the 5th, you all are just as strong, and resilient and beautiful as you were yesterday. We are going to make it through whatever happens. Remember to lean on your crew if you need help, we're here okay? We are stronger in numbers, and we care about you <3 Additional love note tonight from our friend @illustoryart with Nadja!
