Amor Actually by Mia Sosa, Mackenzie Walton
4.0
Sharing my thoughts on each story!
Make the Yuletide Gay - 4 out of 5 stars! This first story was super cute, I love that we started off with a sapphic love story. Vivi and Leila were a great match and for such a short build up, I was super invested!
Only Yours - 3 out of 5 stars. I know these are supposed to be short, and we’re only getting a glimpse of a couple’s story, but this one felt super rushed. I don’t feel like I know the characters well at all and I feel like the fun part was skipped. However, I liked the writing style, setting and plot so I can’t complain haha
Meet Me Under the Mistletoe - 5 out of 5 stars! Favorite story so far! I loved how the romance developed naturally, with a good pace but still lots of tension and conflict. I also really enjoyed a particular side character who totally stole the show. I need to read a whole novel from this author!
All I Want for Nochebuena - 4 out of 5 stars! Super cute story with a really unique premise. Don’t think I’ve ever read anything quite like it haha. My only issue was how rushed the ending felt. Wish it would’ve been a little bit longer
Santa’s Eager Little Helper - 3 out of 5 stars! Another one where I felt the ending was super rushed. Also, it got really intense really fast which I don’t think worked for the characters introduced. I liked their dynamic but the ending soured the story a bit
The Nochebuena Dating Dare - 4 out of 5 stars! This one was super freaking cute. I think the author did a great job of packing in a lot of history, emotion and romance into a short story. I really liked the main characters and kind of wish I could read more from them!
Love in Spanglish - 5 out of 5 stars! This author never disappoints! I loved this story so much, specially the addition of a bit of a language barrier. It was wonderful to see the development of the relationship with this slight obstacle and how they still fell for each other. So good!
To Us, You Are Perfect - 3 out of 5 stars. I haven't really read many books with a polyamory romance so this short story was really interesting to me. I wish I could've seen more of the feelings develop between the three characters, but I thought the callback to that romcom was really cute! haha
The Great Holiday Escape - 4 out of 5 stars. I love the way this author writes their stories! It's so full of emotion and connection. I felt like the romance in this one was a little too fast for me, but I loved the ending with everyone together for Nochebuena. It was definitely my favorite part of the book!
