3.5 stars - I am only a an occasional contemporary romance reader but I find myself drawn to holiday themed collections and Confessions of a Secret Admirer was just the Valentine Anthology I was looking for.Waiting for You - Jennifer Ryan - The death of her grandmother brings Taylor back to her childhood home town and back into the vicinity of Grant the man who drove her from town after the hook-up. - This was a decent enough short, that built on foundation from the years of history that the pair had growing up next to each other. The minus to this is that it is a 'big misunderstanding' centric story. The plus is that the heroine decides to take the risk to get past that when the clues stack up to indicate that everything is/was not as it seemed. (pretty good)Sweet Fortune - Candis Terry - A fortune cookie is the impetuous for Sarah to take her life in a new direction and to step out of her comfort zone to go after the hunky sheriff in her new town. - I really liked Sarah, she is such a sweetie and it is great to see her come out of 'the woodwork' and capture the sheriff's heart even though he's closed himself off to the possibility of loving again - and I I liked that she is his perfect woman even though Sarah doesn't see herself that way. (I liked it)Major League Crush - Jennifer Seasons - Comic strip writer Bertie is finally noticed by her long time crush and inspiration for her strip, her next door neighbor baseball star Drake. - The charm of this story is Bertie, she's brash and awkward and vibrant and she makes this story fun, and I liked that Drake was in the point of his life that he was ready for a woman with a bit more substance and was able to see beyond Bertie's awkward shell. The time frame for this story is really short, but Drake's secret obsession makes the promise of a HEA still work anyway. (I liked it)
