A Note of Change by Nichole Van, Annette Lyon, Esther Hatch

4.0

I love these different anthologies and always love to read them. This is a Victorian one which I’m not as familiar with the historical/political times but I was still able to enjoy it.

Esther Hatch’s story is sweet. Harry is determined to make something of himself to prove to Christine that he’s worthy of her love. Not that it ever mattered to Christine. I love how the reader meets the two and what Christine does to or Harry, who definitely deserved it.

I could NOT stop reading Nichole Van’s story. It was different and I was sucked in from the first chapter when she compared catching a man’s attentions and the self-depreciation to a hydra.

Annette Lyons was short and once I started it, I worried how much of a story could be told when you’re at 75% of the book. At first, I thought Oliver was a child who was hanging out with the servants in the kitchen. Hoping to have a treat but then Rose is talking about Oliver’s lips on hers
