This is a self-published promo piece created cooperatively by 24 different romance authors. I was only familiar with two of them prior to downloading this free ebook, and I discovered it through an Amazon recommendation link.I'm always intrigued by the first-meet stories of married couples I know personally, and I was curious to learn how authors who make a career of writing about romance have experienced it in their own lives.I was happy to discover that many of these authors go beyond simply describing how they met their husbands, expanding their narrative into highlights of their courtships. I also found it a fascinating coincidence that most of the authors in this collection knew their husbands for many years before marrying them--unlike typical romance heroes and heroines who tend to marry precipitously. In addition, many of these authors have been in very long, happy marriages, ranging from 19-45 years, which is quite inspiring, and very like the happily ever after that romance novels offer their readers.After the authors' individual narratives, each provides an excerpt from of one of her most recent published books, and these novels represent a wide variety of subgenres of romance fiction, such as: historical, contemporary, comedy, erotica, paranormal and Christian. There is something here for almost every taste in romance.I am rating this ebook as to how effective it is in promoting the authors participating in it. As a fan of the romance genre always looking for new authors to read, I believe that these authors have done a good job achieving their intended objective in promoting their work.
