Heart2Heart: A Charity Anthology Volume 5 by Lucy Lennox, A.M. Arthur, Leslie Copeland, Leslie Copeland

5.0

Reviewing the following novellas:

1. Never Have I ever... Been On A Date by Tal Bauer ( 5 stars)
This was classic Tal--->
- Powerful characters
- Amazing prose
- Suspense and thrill
- Sweet Romance
- Intricate details and world building.

I just loved this romance with the Antarctica backdrop, I just needed a steamy scene Tal! But oh well...We can't get everything we want.

2. Never Have I Ever...Watched The Godfather by SE Harmon (5 stars)
This novella was such a delight in all the ways!
- Ex-Teacher-student romance
- Age Gap
- Sweet dates
- Sexy Steam
- Romantic gestures

It was a great novella that didn't feel rushed or incomplete.

3. Never Have I Ever... Flown In An Airplane by Neve Wilder (3.5 stars)
This was also classic Neve.
- Hot sex
- Loveable characters
- Cute moments

However, I did feel like it needed a bit more depth/substance. It felt rushed towards the end. I felt that 1 more chapter would have gone a long way towards making me believe in this couple. Sure they were hot and sexy together. I enjoyed their dates. But the last chapter was too abrupt imo.

4. Never Have I Ever ... Worn That For Halloween by EM Lindsey (5 stars)
This novella both surprised and delighted me. It was a whole novel condensed in a novella nd it was done beautifully!
- Best Friends To Lovers
- Secret Pining from both MCs
- One hot AF sex scene
- Great secondary characters.

I loved every page of this novella and would gladly read more of this couple!

5. Never have I Ever... Called A Stranger's Phone Number. (4 stars)
This was another delightful surprise.
- The premise
- The Roommates to lovers
- The Secret Crush
- The secret planning to be together.

It was all so cute and sweet and it gave me a big smile on my face.

Note that all the proceeds of this anthology go to LGBTQ charities.
