As a huge fan of Love, Actually I LOVED seeing the stories redone and made even better! I can't recommend this collection enough!

Absolutely loved it!!! All the authors in this collection are so talented and really turned in a sexy and romantic holiday collection. Loved the reinterpretations of some of my favorite parts of Love, Actually. Also, I wasn’t expecting two polyamorous stories! Made me very happy. Just perfect for the holiday romantic.

medium-paced

I listened to the audiobook format. It had excellent narration, and I appreciated the mini intro to each story. However, I wish the tracks were labeled clearly with story titles and authors, both so I could follow and jump around out of order. Some stories were super steamy, and others were closed door. I liked most of the individual stories but found the collection put together strangely. And the way that it tried to come together at the end didn't quite work for me. So I think I appreciated separate parts more than the whole.

Rating is based on short stories I read
I of course loved everything Adriana Herrera wrote. Also read Priscilla Oliveras and Alexis Daria.

DID NOT FINISH: 53%

I took a break from this one hoping I might want to return to it, but upon restarting I knew it just wasn’t for me. I’m just not a fan of the pacing or the ratio of romance to sex in the first half of the stories, and I don’t care to continue to find out if others are different.

Amor Actually was such a fun anthology and I'm really kicking myself in the butt for not getting to it sooner. It really had something for everyone; some of the novellas were super spicy, some were fade to black, there was a Sapphic novella, two why choose, a few MCs in their 40s, single parent, forced proximity and so much more. I loved how all of the stories came together in the end. Two of the authors were new to me and I'll be looking them up for more of their work for sure!
