When I say the line up to this, I knew I had to read it and I wasn't disappointed. I love single parent romances, it's a fun trope that can come in anything from rom-com to the more intense and angsty reads and this book had it all.

Each and every story was unique and brought something different to the book. They all gave me ALL THE FEELS and had me swooning, sobbing and laughing. Each author's style of writing was easy flowing and made it so easy to finish this in a few days.

If I had to pick a favorite? Well that's hard,... Like really hard, so I think I will pick it based on what story grabbed me most, not so much my favorite of them all because I can't pick just one. The one that grabbed my attention the most was Dani Rene's Back To Life. I love this author... ADORE HER, and she can write one hell of a story and this one was incredible. Granted it had me in tears within the first page. I don't know why it grabbed me the most, but the fact that these two main characters were both parents and both had struggled, and no matter what... They wanted to give their children the best life they possibly could, and then once they had it was their time to look for love and happiness for themselves. It was always the children above all else, and that had my heart growing... That's truly what defines a parent/s. What they are willing to give up. I was a sobbing mess.

Frey Barker's When Hope Ends Life Begins? Talk about an emotional rollercoaster and hell did it pull on my heartstrings. Mika and Jude's story was one with both heartbreak and happiness and hope. Mike needs to find herself again, bring herself back to life after losing her world, as she does this, she meets Jude and his daughter, who are struggling themselves and can't predict what the future holds for them, but after Mika comes into their lives, that all changes. This was epic. I cried, I laughed and I just couldn't get enough! She was a new author to me, and now I need to go and read the rest of her books!!

And the rest of the stories? Were just as heartfelt and swoony, and intense and amazing... As I said, this line up of authors was a must-read!

5 stars!
