This story provided me with everything that I have become used to with a story by Ella Fields. It was hot and steamy, had angst, intrigue and some amazing characters. Rose and Cooper knew their initiation was coming, but didn’t know what it would lead to. When Head Master Taurin comes into the picture their relationship changes on so many levels. Both Rose and Cooper are conflicted about how they feel after initiation night. Taurin is able to help them overcome their hesitations. I wish the story had been longer, however Ella ties it up all at the end and you feel like you have a complete story.

Meagan Brandy: Fumbled Hearts:
This is a quick story that takes us back to the West Coast with Austin and Mia who we first met in the Tender Hearts books way before those Brayshaw Boys grabbed us. Austin and Mia had a quick romance that ended sadly. Neither one seemed ready at the time to commit. This story focuses on Austin and Mia having to confront their feelings from the past, and decide how they want things to move in the future. It was great getting back to the gang, and hoping to see more of them in the future.

K. Webster: He Made Me Stay:
K is one of three authors that I read everything they write including MM. This story is gut wrenching, and even though it is short. It packs a wicked gut punch that stays with you even when you finish. We meet Kit and Jasper. Jasper is in a dark, and terrible place after a personal tragedy. Kit is the new kid in school who lights up a room. Together these two find a way to save each other in different ways. This is such a touching story, and will definitely stay with a me a long time.

Fumbled Future by Meagan Brandy:

This was the story I didn’t even know I needed. A quick little reunion in the land where we first met Lolli & Mia. We got Lolli’s HEA, and finally something good for Mia. The miscommunication, the family vibes, it was all here and I loved it. Plus seeing tough girl Mia crack open her shell for the one she loved.

I loved the few stories i was able to read. I can't wait to go read the rest. Here's my thoughts on the ones i read so far..

I loved He Made Me Stay by K Webster! Jasper and Kit was soooo good even if it was a short story. Kit in all his magical ways of being helpful and a great friend. Jasper was ready to give up but Kit came in and changed things for him. I really loved how Kit was made me laugh so much.

Just a little while was really good. Devoured it and wanted more it fit right in with the author's past books i loved it so much. I would be lying if i didn't mention how much i wish they had more of a story but ill settle for the short story.

I read Head Master Taurin, and wow! Holy hotness! Rose and Cooper, your typical high school sweethearts, until one night. A right of passage into a secret society, changes there lives forever, but not in the way you'd expect. This story is hot with a capital H. Definitely NSFW! Worth the read though.

* Review of Headmaster Taurin by Ella Fields.*

If you read Evil Love and wished Fern and Jude would have participated more in the debauchery of the secret society, this is the book for you! (If you haven't read it yet, don't worry! This can be read as a standalone novella.)

Rose and Cooper are hopelessly in love high school seniors initiating into an ancient society their parents belong to. They've been looking forward to the day they would be offered entry into this secret elite world for an entire year, and when it finally happens, it changes their lives and their relationship forever.

You guys! This story is FUCKING HOT!!! Like grab your partner, vibrator, or your fingers will have to do hot! LOL Ella threw us right into the action, and I appreciate her being thoughtful like that. That being said, I could have read an entire fleshed out book about these two characters, their experience in the society, and the evolution of their relationship. I seriously wish that story existed somewhere. I would buy it in a heartbeat!

Ella Fields is one of the best romance writers out there. She is known for the insane angst in her novels and the intense emotions she's able to rip out of us all. This book isn't going to give you that usual range, but if you want something short and deliciously steamy, look no further! Grab an extra pair of underwear for after, and get to reading!

Overall Grade: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 1/2

While Stories of September is sitting waiting for my reading pleasure, this review is for one of its stories, “Just for a Little While” by Fiona Cole. If you love a little forbidden romance, then you want to read this story. I gobbled it in a single sitting, and I was not disappointed. If I had to characterize it, it’s a little forbidden in the sense the Willem, Cole’s hero, is the step-brother of the heroine’s father. While Arabella and Willem share no blood, there is still the potential messiness of family relationships. Additionally, Arabella and Willem have a nice age gap further complicating their romantic feelings. Even more, initially, Arabella enrolls herself in Uncle Willem’s economics class, so Cole has thrown several daggers of forbidden at you which makes the story quite delicious if you love that trope as I do.

What I think I loved the most is Willem’s characterization. Going into it, I made the assumption that Willem would be a strong, domineering alpha-male. Instead, Cole has crafted him to be a perfect match for her Arabella and kind of a softie. And while Arabella needs to work on maturing a bit more, it never feels as though they aren’t suited for each other. It’s clear from the start that Willem and Arabella should easily find a happily-ever-after trotting the globe (which I hope they do).

I always forget how much I love novellas and short stories. They are bite-sized nuggets of romance that tug at your heart-strings, move the butterflies in your stomach, and steam your glasses in such a short space. And Fiona Cole’s “Just for a Little While” is perfect for all of those things.
