As a busy mom, short stories are so much easier to find time to read. The problem was that I didn't want to stop reading.  This collection was a good combination of clean historical and contemporary romances, all well written!Several of the authors are among my favorites to read, so I was prepared to enjoy this collection.  There were a couple of stories I would have loved to see in full length form!  If you like your romances sweet and clean, this is a must read!Maggie's Song (by Karey White) was probably my biggest surprise.  I don't remember reading anything by her--but I definitely will now!  Maggie's secret crush on Lucas  was so fun to read about.  As a tomboy who has had more than one friend say I was just one of the guys, I could totally relate to Maggie!How to rewrite a love letter (by Diane Darcy), made me laugh out loud. I cannot even imagine trying to find the patience to be a  high school teacher.  She is caught up in a funny series of misunderstandings that made me laugh out loud---and glad I am not in high school anymore!Sarah Eden’s  A Thousand Words will appeal to her fans that enjoyed Longing for Home.  A cute historical fiction about a couple that are separated and only have letters to keep their love alive.Between the Lines, by Annette Lyon, was one of my favorite stories of the collection. Jane and Thomas were such cute characters.  I love it when you can see a character grow--especially in a short story!Blackberry Hollow (by Heather Moore) is one of the stories I would love to read in longer form! Lucy inherits an estate in England, so she travels to see it before selling the property.  When she arrives, she meets Calvin, the man living next door. Despite her beau back home, Lucy is drawn to Calvin--ignoring the feud that has divided their families for decades. I would have loved to read more about her life in NY and the beau back home--and their life together in England!
