A great selection of stories by a HUGE variety of authors for a great cause. I found myself hoping around and picking and choosing what I wanted to read, so don't expect to love each story.

I purchased for charity. Too many stories that go along with books I haven't read.

Second read: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Five stars for The Shimmering Springs alone—which is the novella that brought this anthology to my attention, via the twisters. Honestly, I’d have paid three times as much just for that novella-length laughter and angst. I’ll continue to working hard to bring back the peace sign in incredibly gay solidarity with Seth Capella 🐶✌️

Anthologies like this one are such a great way to raise money for those in need, and I'm glad that 100% of the royalties from this anthology have gone to helping those in Ukraine. I just wish that at the very least the ebook version could be available indefinitely for those who want to contribute but stumble across Nightingale down the line.

Great anthology for a worthy cause!

This was worth buying just to support a worthy cause... the fact it has some brand-new novellas by some of my favourite authors was a bonus. I have only read a handful of the novellas but I have some still on my TBR as they link to series or books that I haven't read yet. A bonus too was finding a couple of bread new authors to me and adding them to my TBR list!

For the ones I have read, here are my ratings:
- Hacker in Love by Lauren Rowe 4/5
- Expansion by Kate Canterbary 4/5
- Hard Score by Rachel Van Dyken 4.5/5
- Smolder by Aly Martinez 5/5
- Room Enough for Two by Sara Ney 4.5/5
- Bonus epilogue from Boyfriend Bargain by Ilsa Madden-Mills 4/5

Review for Dear Delaney by Kelsey Clayton- As always Kelsey never stops amazing me! I loved seeing Delaney again even years later she is still the best! Although it was said you would be ruined and all in the feels with this one, but i wasnt must be that cold black heart i have! i loved this story though an i really hope to see all the kids one day!
Review for Dirty Crazy Bad by Siobhan Davis--holy hell!!! Siobhan killed it! I can not wait for this! It's going to be just as epic as sainthood and I am here for it!!!

Review for The Offering by Shantel Tessier excuse me while I get excited!!! I can not wait and see what this story unfolds to!! Like always Shantel has brought her a game with this one!

*disclaimer: I've only read two of the shorts, by Laura Thalassa and Katee Robert, and my rating reflects that.

So dang long! A lot of stories. Some are better than others.

i only read karla sorensen’s story but it was so good i cried and for that i’m giving it 4 stars

What a treasure trove of AMAZING stories for an incredibly important cause. Not only is the humanitarian leadership of these authors in this endeavor admirable, but the stories inside this story are addictively yummy. So many favorites- Siobhan Davis, Shantel Tessier, Parker S. Huntington, Carian Cole, Natasha Knight & Ashleigh Zavarelli, Karla Sorenson, Jenika Snow, Amo Jones, Harloe Rae, Tijan, Amelia Wilde, Skye Warren,Ilsa Madden-Mills, Kandi Steiner just to name a few. Their stories I adored, but I also loved getting to meet some new authors to learn more about. FIFTY original stories and all the royalties to support relief and human rights organizations working in Ukraine. Amazing stories for an amazing purpose. And this cover is a work of art- and in love with the stories inside. Brava to this authors for giving us something beautiful to support something so important.
