piperasta's review against another edition
Weak plot and way too sex focused for me. I like Colleen hoover books and the plots are usually strong and characters relatable and a strong point t to the books. But I felt with this 1.5 hrs in and I knew little about the characters it was mostly graphic descriptions of sexual acts. I got bored.

This review is for Sincerely, Dane by Ilsa Madden Mills.
4.5 STARS
This story was so satisfying, I find that pretty rare with short stories.
It packed a lot in a short story, It was perfect.
The characters, setting and events were entertaining and so well written.
I love that the author included secondary characters who are from her full length books.
It was so fun to have their personalities added to the mix with the new characters of this short.
So much fun and enjoyable, I loved it!

My review is specifically on Sincerely Dane by Ilsa Madden-Mills.
This was a ridiculously cute story. Very very short. But sweet. Dane is silly and Piper goes along for the ride. I loved their chemistry and I wish I could read more about them!!

Sincerely Dane by Ilsa Madden-Mills is sincere cuteness.
Saccharine, sweet Halloween short. This is the story Dane needed after the rough go of it in Ava's story.
This adorable novella crosses two worlds involving secondary characters from Dear Ava and The Revenge Pact, that gave it all the sparkles and sprinkles for perfect flavoring.
A scavenger hunt, set on halloween night, takes Dane, Piper, and a few other secondary characters all over NY to get the perfect iconic clips which will win them a prize. It could also win Dane something he's been after even longer.
This short story is charming and totally packed with cuteness. Fans of Ilsa's books will love the crossover character collaboration and more than anything else the sparkly sprinkle for Dane.

Two More Days
Tequila Mate - Katie Ashley 4.5
Man oh man, I need to read this series. If this in any indication, it will absolutely be worth it. Sexy, fun, and a bit daring, Selah and Agent Issacson definitely have my vote.
Always Cake- Max Monroe 4.5
Yes, they went there.
Max Monroe killing it with romcom references and potential world stopping situations. Also vodka...
Always Cake is the kind of story that makes you scream "GAHHHHHHH!!" O
out loud and smile like a loon. Also beware of unintentional charges for movies not on Prime, Netflix or HBO...because it seems I have a need for the before mentioned romcoms.
Confessions- Lora Richardson 4 stars
Nothing screams angst like the predicament these two are in. I am new to Lora but definitely interested in her other works. Confessions is a tease of all the possibilities. The intense situation, the eager feelings, the sense of wrong...it makes my heart flutter with need for more.
Heels Over Head in Love- Willow Aster 3.5 stars
I love when the characters are imperfect and real. I especially love when they are quirky. I have to say that Hazel "the Hazardous" is a really modeled after me. Well, minus the red hair...the Brady Barnes...and the awesome family of cousins. But clearly Ms. Aster knows me well. Lol. Hazel is a trip.
Second Summer- Laurelin Paige 3.5
Kissing toads to find your prince is totally a thing. Kissing a hot older doctor...seems like a good step towards that prince.
Protected- Dr. Rebecca Sharp 4 stars
Thank goodness there is more!!!! Sorry, this girl needs her HEA after that. What a way to lure you in!
The Vanished- Jennifer Wilson 4 stars
Absolutely entertaining. While I have never heard of Jennifer's work before, I fewl I need more time in the Veil with our friwnds from The Big Easy. What a fun paranormal romp!
The Shelby - Jewel E. Ann 4.5 stars
Oh yes, she did!!!! I didn't think Jewel had that kind of "bite" but she absolutely does. Smirking all the way to the yacht...
Sunshine Rae- Kandi Steiner 4 stars
Say yes to the BFF! Rae's love for her best friend may hurt more than she bargained for. Fortunately for us, Kandi likes HEAs almost as much as we do!
From Friends to This- Dominique Laura 3 stars
A little reunion with the one who got away?! Friends to something else...
The Kiss- M. Robinson 4 stars
The Kiss (Playboy Pact #1) fans will love getting Mila and Leo updates. This scene is definitely worth the price of admission. Smile, laugh, and cringe your way through one of life's joys.
Stone Heart- S.J. West 3 stars
An interesting journey to an exotic location. Too bad the locals aren't exactly the kind you want to hangout with...
Stone Heart is a paranormal excursion with a gargoyle.
Without Yesterday- Lexi Ryan 4 stars
I tried to find what I hope will be a continuation of this because I NEEDS it...my precious!! Chemistry, tension, and an undeniable connection, Lexi Ryan reeled me in and I'm flopping aroumd on deck needing more.
Good Girl Gone Bad- R.k. Lilley 4
Best way to get over a toad...is to find a prince. R.K. definitely made sure our girl got that in spades.
Of Potions and Poisons- Chanda Hahn 4 stars
I can't believe that was only a few pages. Of Potions and Poisons was a complete and total adventure in a few short pages. Returning to reality after that will make any reader sad. Especially when there's no Lord waiting for you...
Breaking the Rules- Charleigh Rose 4.5 stars
Oh yes, yes, yesssssss! Charleigh Rose definitely provides the "happy ending" in this story and I'm not at all ashamed to say I enjoyed every minute of it.
Stray- Jessica Hawkins 4 stars
While it seems there a few details left out of her story, Christine is about to embark on quite the journey...(all those jealous raise your hand)
A Home for Hobgoblins- Eric R. Asher 3.5 stars
What a riot! Enchanting and entertaining alike, Asher has quite the lively imagination. I may just need to see more about a Demon Sword...or a vampire
Falling For My Stepbrother- Kelsie Stelting 3 stars
Not so taboo when you just met...
When Fire Strikes- Marni Mann 4.5 stars
Hot damn! Teasing me with that makes me want to smile and cry. As an absolute fan of When Ashes Fall (and the Moments in Boston series), I squealed like a fan girl at 2010 Justin Beiber concert. When Fire Strikes is all the things and still just a wisp of smoke.
Armageddon, Again- Aileen Erin 3 stars
The end is coming...again. Play a game of follow the angel to stop it.
Strike One- Meagan Brandy 3.5 stars
Looking for a good time... Yeah, I think I will be catching up with Xavier and his Princesa soon.
Office Hours- Alessandra Torre 3.5 stars
I really need to change my date too Professor. (FANS SELF) Pretty please, with orgasms on top...bottom....wherever!
Pineapple- Leia Stone 4 stars
Every hopless romantic will love this one. Starcrossed best friends...
Vampire and human.
It shouldn't work but...(smirks) pineapple.
Sincerely, Dane- Ilsa Madden-Mills 4 stars
The one you've crushed on forever but is just a friend...
A night of fun. A night of possibilities. A new beginning...
Sincerely Dane is a sweet tease and even a romp with old friends. Dear Ava lovers will appreciate seeing our friends again. Let's not forgetting Benji and Spike too (not possible) with their post The Revenge Pact cameo.
Dark Eyes- Karina Halle 4 stars
Oh man, I had no idea Karina Halle did paranormal. Need to look into the otbers because I definitely need more of that!!!
What If...-K Bromberg 4.5 ifs
Always say "yes"... or is it "I do"...
In this case, it's definitely what if. The answer though...the answer is magical. It's "ever after".
When It Happens- Micalea Smeltzer 3 stars
It's terrible to say but the error of chapter 4 coming before 3 makes reading this story choppy and frustrating. However knowing that before hand will help you avoid the problem. When It Happens is a small town sweet story. I don't want to ruin the fun. Just so you know. the ending makes it!
F*ck- Tijan 4.5 stars
*pants like a dog in heat*
Is it hot in here because...damn. Tijan turned the heat up and I'm looking for Margaritas to cool off. I need more now!!!!!!
The Dress- Colleen Hoover 3 stars
A dress can make or break you...
