An anthology for a good cause, how could I say no??? Wonderful authors, great stories Sign me up again and again. Even better, I can read as little or as much as I can whenever I want.

What a fabulous collection of stories that will benefit the devastating fires in Australia.
I absolutely loved all the stories but I loved Skye Warren's story featuring Samantha and Liam. And I also loved the tease by Pam Godwin in the King of Libertine.

The Last Song by Skye Warren 4
Welcome back, Liam and Samantha! It's so good to see you two again. North Security lovers will be happy with this little rendezvous. Watching these two continue to work and grow makes me smile.
Pash, No Rash by Penny Reid 4
I can honestly say I have been missing out. Quirky, fun, and highly intelligent heroine and the sexy man that digs her....I have definitely been missing out by not reading Penny Reid. I have had the on my TBR for years but now I need to fix that. Its sweet and fun...and definitely involves dirty talking even if you have to google Pash Rash!
The Rule of Always by Kennedy Ryan 4
Kennedy Ryan brings us back to Grip...well, Grip adjacent technically. Fans will love to see Iz and Callie finally succumb to their desires. Newbies to the Grip series will still be able to appreciate the tension, lust, and chemistry they have. I guarantee they will be running out to get the rest of the series too!
Be There With Me by Giana Darling 4
Friends, true friends, are worth more than their weight in gold. Tenn is worth his weight in platinum. He's definitely someone to swoon over and I truly hope Giana Darling decides to expand Be There With Me into a full size novel.
A Pretty Penny by Meredith Wild 4
A patron at the restaurant...she doesn't really know him. A wild proposition and its resulting blowback make for an interesting tale. A Pretty Penny leaves me wondering what comes next.
Where the Current Takes You by Emma Scott 5
Swoon. Emma Scott could probably make me fall in love with her grocery list. I have yet to NOT be swept away by her words and thoughts. Where the Current Takes You is sweet serendipity. Its definitely rainbows and unicorns but in the best way possible. Knowing we might be cynical or pessimistic she makes sure there's sour to anchor our lofty hearts.
I Mean, It’s Cool by Tijan 5
I just want to cry. It's all Tijan's fault. I Mean, It's Cool is far more emotional than the words on the page. It's heartbreaking and hopeful. I wander if we will ever get to go to Silvard...?
Kennedy’s Aussie by Nana Malone 4
I love a good enemies to lovers story. I love second chances. I even love miscommunication leading to strife. So of course Kennedy's Aussie is my cup of tea. It's a sexy second chance with orgasms, who doesn't like orgasms!?!

A beautiful collection of short stories for a great cause. With authors like Skye Warren, Meredith Wild, Emma Scott, Melanie Moreland, Willow Winters and Carly Phillips just to name a few the reader knows that they are going to have some great reads.
****Stitches by Melanie Moreland, a story about a cute pediatrician that falls in love with a single mom as well as her daughter all over a lost stuffed animal in the park, was not only enjoyable but heart warming.****
This is a collection you do not want to miss.

4.5 stars!
I'm excited to read all the stories in this anthology, especially knowing that the money is going to support Australia. Right now, I'm reviewing Fireworks by Aleatha Romig and will add to this review as I read others.
Fireworks: I don't know how she did it! Aleatha worked her magic and managed to write an entire story in so few pages. Having read other stories in this world, I already had a minor connection with Winnie, which helped me to connect to the story despite its length. It only makes me want more of Winnie and Garrett and the rest of the Sparrow family!

I absolutely loved all the stories in this book from authors who I have read before and new to me authors. It makes the book even better that all the money went towards helping others in the bushfires. These short stories made me want to read other books by the authors that the characters were connected to and I wanted to find out their background. So that is the next thing on my list.

King of Libertines was everything ❤ An anthology of romance short stories for a wonderful cause! I have only read Pam Godwins short story so far and I can tell you it was everything! An outstanding start to what is going to be an epic story! I loved the chemistry between the couple and the way they both wanted to desperately resist! And pirates! So excited for the rest of it! Looking forward to reading more of these short stories for a hood cause! Well done authors!

I have yet to read Pam Godwin's short story. I'll reserve that when Sea of Ruin comes out.
So far, I have read Skye Warren's, Giana Darling's, and Sierra Simone's short stories. I don't really have a plan to read the others.
Skye Warren - 4 stars
Giana Darling - 3 stars
Sierra Simone - 4.5 stars (I need a longer version of this!!)
