Overall this was very cute and a lighthearted read that I just enjoyed.
The three stories interconnect nicely by either character relationships or the setting as all stories are in and around an airport setting.
I think of the three stories, 'The Missed Connection' was my all time favorite. There's a great back n forth flirting and witty dialogue between the two MC's, Gia and Felix that is just so much to read from the minute they met and throughout their arc. Plus I'm a fan of a man who knows how to challenge and bring out the best in their partner and themselves without being a jerk. These two have a grumpy x sunshine trope thing going but they also felt the most well rounded of all the characters.
'The Sweetest Connection' was adorable, a bit of the will they or won't they mixed in with friends to lovers trope or my absolute fave, the other doesn't know that they're crushing on them so that was also a fun read and probably the fastest of the three.
'The Love Connection' was the opening story and it was also a good read, lots of fun dialogue, great side characters and lovable characters but they didn't stay with me like Gia and Felix.

This was a cute little collection of stories.
I definitely am going to add Denise to my autobuy list, because man she not only knows how write a really good spicy love scene, but also just really sweet romantic connections.
Below are my rankings of each story. These were all good, but the last story was my favorite of all.
The Sweetest Connection: 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Wooo baby whoever said friends to lovers was boring, is so wrong! It’s so wild, because I didn’t expect it to be my favorite, but Teagan and Silas were my favorite couple in this collection. They just had the sweetest yet hottest chemistry together. I also loved the epilogue that wasn’t about them but someone else in the story :)
The Missed Connection: 4.5/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 /5 Gia and Felix were a fun pairing. I liked that he wasn’t just being a jerk about his critiques, he was simply trying to challenge her because thought she was intelligent. I also really loved how he was constantly sticking up for her and not standing for their bosses sexist oppinions on her. We love a man that sticks up for his girl before he’s even with her. It was definitely a grumpy sunshine and I do enjoy those. I found this one to be a bit more believable.
The Love Connection: 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Ollie and Bennett were cute, but this one was a little bit harder to believe. I think this might have been better off as fully fleshed story. I still enjoyed it and the dog. I thought their banter was fun, and I also think Ollie was my favorite fmc in the series. I also really enoyed the friendship of of Jess and Ollie, and Bennett and Gia. It was still a really cute read.
Like I said I will definitely be picking up more of this authors books.

I was looking forward to listening to 3 short love stories but sadly this was very disappointing.
I didn’t like any of these characters and didn’t ship them at all.
The whole book felt as if it was written by a man. It was weirdly sexist and the queer characters felt like a token tossed in for diversity.
