Will review each story as I read it...
***Accepting the Moon, by K.S. Haigwood***
This was my first short story and I'd say it was a success because I am now totally hooked on short stories where in the past I would never bother with them. Luckily, there is also more to come as it kicks of a series that Kristie is currently working on - I definitely need more of these characters and to know how they go about their lives.
At first glance, Mena may seem like a woman who has been walked on but she soon proves that she handles herself well. When she lands in a life-threatening situation, her cheating husband appears on the scene and she has to make a quick decision: go with him or entrust her life with a stranger. Enter Jaxon; seemingly a beast who initially does have dangerous plans for her but in an instant makes a decision that saves her life. What she has yet to discover is that worlds are going to change as a result of her decision that night.
She goes on to not only save her own life in yet another volatile situation but claim her new place as a leader, and even form an alliance with her natural enemy.
***Not Juliet, by Ella Medler***
Immediately I take a liking to Riella as she is considerate and appreciative of nature while seeming down to earth. Action and tragedy ensue soon in a way that make me need to read on and discover the cause of such commotion. I love the promise of drama-to-come and am intrigued and hooked.
At one point I did put the book down to run errands and I actually had that "I miss my book" feeling. Should've read it in one sitting to spare myself the emptiness. Very well written overall with well-designed characters that I became attached to. Will seek more from Ella Medler.
