A review by cinta
Accidental Valentine by Jaylee Austin, Wendy Sparrow, Claire Gillian, Sharon Hughson, Katrina Sizemore
3.0
I got a free ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.
This book includes five different stories from different authors. Although I only really liked two of the stories, the overall opinion is that it can be an entertaining little anthology for people who are real fans of Valentine's Day. I'm not. I prefer showing love to my husband any other day. But I digress. The book... I found that some of the stories needed more development, which would be solved if they were longer. Some of the characters lacked of depth and the dialogues sounded shallow sometimes. And still I kept on reading every night until I finished the whole book. I am very exigent with books, but this means that I found it entertaining even though I didn't enjoy all the stories.
A cute little anthology for romantic people, very apt for reading on Valentine's Day, either if you have a date or not. The five stories offer different approaches to love, with different people in different stages of life and different circumstances. In 'Guiding Hearts' you will read about an unexpected love story when a GPS seems to have a life of its own. In 'Better Late than Never' you will read about childhood lovers who get in touch again. In 'Dream Architect' you read about coworkers and their dreams. In 'One Hot Angel', an angel will find love on Earth. In 'Rock my Bones', destiny reunites an anthropologist and one of his fans.
If you are a fan of romantic stories, grab your copy and enjoy it this weekend. This book deserves 4 stars, but I found editorial and proofreading issues, and I remove stars for that.
