Review: Anthology of Love Hurts!!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 22, 2014
This book contains eight stories based on the theme Love Hurts.I have decided to rate each story as some I loved, some I liked okay and some I could not get into what was going on.Heartless (4.5 stars) It was a good read, of course being there are eight stories in one book all of them are quick reads. Even though there was not much time to build up to the characters I loved the way Roxie came out of a bad relationship and made herself into a new person. And since I am not into BDSM I am glad that the author stopped where she did with any acts.Tantrabobous (5 Stars) This is one of the three stories I really loved in this anthology. I haven't read many ghost stories but this one really hit the spot for me. It had love, humor, sarcasm and a really misunderstood old man that had you feeling for him.Just A Lie (4.5 Stars) The only bad thing I had to say about this was that the guy really needed to learn how to stand up for himself and stop keeping secrets for someone who didn't respect him in return. Love denied is a heart ache for anyone.Unforgiven (1 Star) I really had no idea what was going on in this story. As I said I know these were short stories but if I don't know a little bit of what the characters are, which half way I end up realizing they must be vampires or her at least. But I still had no clue why the husband was denying her or if he ever was. I just honestly don't know what was happening.Sweepers (1 Star) Again a story that left me baffled. I understand that she was left behind to finish her cover but after that I really got lost.Salt and Water (5 Stars) This was another story I loved. I know I know, this wasn't about the love of two people in the sense that the others were. But this was a story about someone's love for doing the right thing, someone's love for another species. That is what made this story good. I want to know what happens next. :) Hint Hint to the author.Fury of Fate (5 Stars) This story was freaking awesome. I loved that a character I normally would hate is shown in a different light. It makes me want to demand that his story be told in entirety. Can I do that? Hint hint. Let's just say another story that ended way to soon.The True Love of Sherry Papers (4 Stars) It was okay, maybe I was just so spoiled by the other paranormal stories that I got stuck on them and didn't give the non para stories a fair chance.
