teresab78's review against another edition
3.0
Overall most of the stories were HFN, some better than others, some much worse. I don't know if it was the theme but it just seemed to drag on and none of the stories were stellar.
A Good Night's Sleep
(Alex & Matt)
I liked it - it was a beginning, I was interested enough that I would read more about the pair. I thought it was odd, however, when the author referred to "soccer". I thought, at first, she was a north American author writing a British character, but she's not. Saying "soccer" instead of football kind of took me out of the story for a moment. Not important but just "huh?" :)
Fall Forward
(Chase & Jarret)
Chase was constantly rude to Jarret. Jarret was a bit whiny but still. I got Chase's point about not being afraid all the time, but also Jarret's about discretion. The story was only ok for me.
Reconnecting
(Sam & John)
Nice little story about second chances. Though the first relationship must have been something to still have such a connection two years later.
Mending and Moving On
(Brian & Liam)
I found it very romantic in a movie sort of way, especially the ending.
Jeep guy
(Eric & Andy)
Story premise was ok, delivery was severely lacking. I did not like the narration style at all.
All At Sea
(Josh & Rupe)
I thought this was sweet. A quick look back on how they met, you get to know them a bit and a HEA without it feeling rushed. So far my favourite.
Haunted
(Trestan & Connor)
It was nice to hear about a place I've been. The haunting part of the story was lame and other wise was an uneventful slice of life in an established couples life. meh
Something Different
(Tucson & Adam)
PWP second chance story. Hot sex but little substance.
Perpendicularity
(Kyle & Dylan)
So, I first thought I wasn't going to like this because of the present tense narrative. I hate present tense narrative - so few can do it properly! However this author does! I quite liked this story. I liked that they didn't rush but you felt the connection. I would like to read more of this couple.
Sunlight on Water
(Ryan & Armas)
I liked it up till the end. The whole "I love you after one time and now you have to have me" kind of vibe didn't work for me
Off the Tracks
(Owen & James)
I liked this one. A little bizarre with the time travel but I was glad Owen and Tara got a do over.
All You Need
(Rory & Trent)
Sometimes all you need is a good laugh and a break. I liked that this was almost a second chance kind of book. That their relationship was on the rocks but they pulled it back. How long it will stay that way, who knows, but they found a reprieve.
Know Nobody
(Gerald & Sylvain?)
Did not like this as a romance. As a piece of erotica, it was kinda hot but failed as a romance.
New Lease
(Wade & Kent)
I wanted to cry for Wade and at the same time, how could you let someone you saw for two weeks out of the year control you so badly for so long?!?! It doesn't seem possible
Krung Thep, City of Angels
(Marco & Chris)
I enjoyed this one, though the connection is made a little too quickly (one day? really?) it wasn't insta-love and left room for an expanded story.

Love the different stories all about travel, from the established couples to the ones that just meet and you can see they will be great to together.

Anthologies are a mixed bag.
I mostly enjoyed this one. There were a couple of stories I just skimmed through, but then on the other hand, there were a couple of stories I loved and would have liked to read more about.
And I found a new author to check out.
