In today"s fast moving world, short fiction provides a satisfying read for people who love to read and at the same time need to get their happy ending in a reasonable length of time.  The demise of  print publications have left a vacuum for the reader of short fiction - many magazines which formerly published short stories have shelved them in favour of celebrity news and reality type articles.  Short ebook reads fill the gap nicelyMEMORIES OF LOVE is an unashamedly sentimental read for the die hard romantic.  The orphaned yet fiercely independent heroine Rita is an attractive character.  Ivan the hero, a former army man who runs a security company is Rita's boss and he makes a suitably alpha hero.  Ivan and Rita fancy each other rotten and it's obvious to all who know them.  But he thinks he's too dark and depressing for a girl like Rita and she, being professional to the core, can't think of having an affair with the boss.  Sweet yet predictable so far.  The secretary in love with her alpha male available boss is certainly the stuff romance novels are made of, but what gives this pair the courage to make the first move and cross the professional divide?  Rita's house is burnt down in a fire and then Ivan gets the chance to play Sir Galahad.I have to say that as a mother, Rita's attempts to play the vamp and seduce the hero filled me with terror. Well,  maybe that's just me. But in fairness, it's obvious that Ivan is special to Rita, not just someone she met along the way.  Anyway, Ivan, the battle scarred hero, turns out to be quite the gallant behind the rather dark exterior.So if you love short fiction, comfort reads and unashamedly romantic reads, to pick this one up.  It's a great read to get the endorphins flowing.
