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…

I Love You Both So Much by J.E. Birk, Rachel Ember, & Leslie McAdam

A Holiday M/M/M Romance

Everyone has secrets. I’ve kept some big ones from my two best friends, and I know they’ve got a few of their own. After all, Embry and Adam never told me why they stopped talking to each other the night we graduated college. For my part, I’ve never told them that I’m bi—or that I’ve been in love with both of them for years. I’m also definitely not telling them I’ve mismanaged my family’s tree farm so badly that it’s about to go out of business right before Christmas.

But when I crash off a ladder hanging up holiday lights and break my wrist, they come running like Santa’s elves. They’re both very grumpy about seeing each other again, but I can’t be sorry to finally have an excuse to get them in the same place. Wait until they find out we’re all sleeping in one bed…

At least their feud is put on hold when they discover what a mess I’ve made of my business. Soon the three of us are scrambling to pull off a Christmas miracle and save the farm. And maybe it’s the magic of the holidays, but a whole lot of feelings and long-buried truths are coming to the surface—and our friendship is starting to become something much bigger.

Will we survive the season? Or are all my dreams about to be crushed this Christmas?

ILYBSM is a sweet and steamy contemporary holiday m/m/m polyamorous romance about three former best friends. It stars Jeb, a sweetly oblivious farmer who’s the hottest mess to ever grow trees in Vermont; Embry, a mechanic who can fix any engine but not a relationship; and Adam, a graphic designer and organizational whiz who irons his sheets. It features truths that slip out thanks to homemade eggnog, a demon goat who looks fabulous in a Santa hat, and an unconventional happy ever after.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

What a fun story! You will immediately fall in love with Jeb, Adam, and Embry the second you open the book. Jeb is in love with his two best friends, not that he ever told either of them that. Or the fact that he is bisexual. But considering how Adam and Embry refuse to talk to one another since the day before graduation three years ago, the time to mention it hasn't really come up. That is until now. When Jeb accidentally falls off a ladder and breaks his arm, he may or may not have texted both his friends (thank you pain medication) about what happened. But he definitely doesn't expect for either to jump to his aid. Especially Adam who lives across the country in California. Now both have made it to Vermont and Jeb is determined to get them talking again and fix their friendship. And also learn the truth about the night of their big fight. Little does he know that Embry is also bisexual and Adam is gay and both are just as much in love with him as they are with one another. As they help Jeb manage his farm and even possibly save his business, truths will finally be revealed! And the start of what could be a beautiful relationship. This story was just so fun! The three of them are so different yet perfect for one another. And when you get flashbacks of their text group chat from their college years, you can't help but wonder how none of them knew they were into not only men but one another! They were clearly meant to be. But nothing is so simple and life together isn't exactly easy.You don't want to miss this fun holiday story and also by the end beg for more! There are definitely some other characters that need their own books too! These authors know how to write great stories and together? They are fantastic!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

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…

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!

ALOFT (2014) 17% #30 Critics Consensus: Glacially paced and ineptly plotted, Aloft crushes the game efforts of a talented cast under a dreary viewing experience whose title proves sadly ironic.

Starring: Jennifer Connelly, Cillian Murphy, Mélanie Laurent, Oona Chaplin Directed By: Claudia Llosa'

5 characters from your favorite books whose real ages are hard to guess

As we enthusiastically leaf through another book, we vividly imagine the appearance and character of all the heroes of the story. But sometimes film adaptations of literary works turn out to be so memorable that we involuntarily replace the existing image with what was shown to us on the screen. And we unwittingly add extra years to the character or, on the contrary, make him younger.

Severus Snape from "Harry Potter"

Snape once attended Hogwarts with Harry's parents, so when the young wizard first appears at school, the Potions professor is relatively young - only 31 years old. The filmmakers invited Alan Rickman, who was 54 years old at the time of filming, to play the role of this controversial character. Therefore, on screen Severus looks more experienced and sophisticated than he really was.

Ellie from "The Notebook"

In the novel by Nicholas Sparks, at the beginning of the story, the main character, Ellie, is 15 years old. The creators of the film adaptation decided to add a couple of years to her so that the girl would be a little more mature. So they cast Rachel McAdams, who was 24 at the time. Considering that the main events unfold 7 years after the heroes met, such a decision is completely justified.

Elinor Dashwood from "Sense and Sensibility"

In Jane Austen's novel Sense and Sensibility, Elinor's older sister was 19 years old. But in almost all film adaptations the girl was played by older actresses. For example, Emma Thompson was 36 years old at the time filming began. Thanks to this, the creators were able to achieve a more authentic image of the reserved and reasonable Elinor, which the young actress would hardly have been able to create.

Rubeus Hagrid from "Harry Potter"

Hargrid in the film version looks quite young for his age. According to JK Rowling, he was born in 1928, which means that by the time he met Harry he was already 62 years old. Actor Robbie Coltrane, who played this role, was only 50 years old. Perhaps the filmmakers decided that Rubeus aged a little differently than ordinary people, since he was half giant.

Ashley Wilkes from "Gone with the Wind"

At the beginning of the novel, young Scarlett invites her neighbor's son Ashley, with whom she is hopelessly in love, to run away from home and tie the knot. At that time the young man was 21 years old. However, in the film he seems much older, which is not surprising - the actor Leslie Howard, who played this role, was 45 years old. Therefore, the on-screen relationship between Scarlett and Ashley looks ambiguous - a wise man carefully refuses the eccentric girl. The audience gets the feeling that Wilkes was the same age as Rhett Butler, although in fact the difference in the characters' ages was more than 10 years (Rhett was 33 years old).

By the way, the appearance of literary heroes also sometimes changes when transferred to the screen. Some differences are not noticed by the attentive public, while others are simply noticeable.
