Review: Good Collection
Rating: 3 out of 5

The second of four volumes of short stories each with unexpected twists at the end. This volume contains eight stories in total:- Sleepless Stacy, Without Mum, Kick-Starting Love, Dream Lover, Stealing John, Paul's Magic, A Second Chance and Taking to a Stranger.The stories cover a range of themes including work, romance and families. Each story is just a few pages and the whole book can easily be read in one sitting. The stories themselves are all interesting with the opening story Sleepless Stacy, Kick-Starting Love and Stealing John being the ones I favoured the most.The first story has Stacy competing for a promotion at work but it seems she looks set to lose out to a more arrogant colleague. However, each story delivers a surprise and it turns out Stacy is more resourceful than she initially appears. In Kick-Starting Love, Sally is trying to spice up her sex life with her husband who works long hours. She turns to her best friend for help and also manages to surprise us with her actions at the end. In Stealing John, Sandra is at risk of losing her man to Maggie in a fierce tug of war. How can she keep John and stop him choosing Maggie?This is a good collection of stories though unfortunately very brief. I just wonder if the four volumes would have been better as one big collection of stories. If you want a quick read and like stories with a twist then you have come to the right place. I certainly won't be opposed to trying the other volumes.
