Almost a Spinster:Her Every Desire, despite my last review on a different author with a different short story, I must eat my words on that last one because here, in this short story every bit of love that should be felt in a romance was felt. While a longer story might have allowed for more than just one emotion, it wasn't necessary. I think mostly what I should say here is this: while a longer book allows more time for emotion to build within the reader as well as the characters, only a gifted writer can bring something out in fewer pages. My fist time reading a Jenna Peterson book (that I can recall) already I hope to read more. I have two more stories to go and I fully anticipate liking them very much.A Scandal to Keep: The second book in this collection, and one that easily could have been a full length novel (and while I still commend the author on her skill building a complete story with emotion, I feel it was much too abbreviated.) This short story would have made a beautiful full length novel with so much more background. While the author gives adequate background for a short story the conclusion came too fast. The story is still good and I recommend it, but it could've been a novel.A Woman Scorned: Wow, loved this story! The absolute BEST in the collection. It was so good! I won't give anything away because I want you to read it for yourself! Most extensive portrayal of emotions in a short story I've ever read. Safe to say, next on my reading list: Any full length work by Jenna Peterson!
