12 Months of Romance 24 reasons to Love by various authors

5 Stars!!!!


As a lover or romance books this book more than ticked all the boxes for me. There were so many different styles and formats and so many different scenarios that I just couldnt wait to see what the next story would be. This is one of the best anthologies I have read so far!! Every short story was more than worth 5 Stars on its own!!!


One of my favorite short stories in this book was When the Last Petal Falls (Sakura Season) by Kit Salazar. This short story was a perfect example of young love that was too scared to be confessed. It shows that it is never too late to let someone know how you feel about them. I just loved the chemistry between Michael and Sara. This was such as sweet story and was very well written.

Another one of my favorites is Plans on the 13th(Valentines day) by Marian Tee. This shows that one cannot just underestimate childhood friends. It also shows that we shouldnt undervalue ourselves cause you never know what you mean to someone else. I just love how Devon and Jared have such a great sort of backstory in this short story and how everything develops.

I really also loved Begin Again (Valentines Day) by Erleen Alvares. This short story really tugged at my heartstring as it was so well played out. I like how Juliana had to overcome her demons so to speak and she winds up with a better prize Angelo. It would be nice to see a follow up story about these two as the chemistry is just really good.

I just could go on and on and on about all the short stories in this book. I have enjoyed it so emencely. I am sure if you love romance you will find this a must read. It will certainly have a spot in my library and be read over and over.
