This was another fun instalove standalone short story by Julia Stone set in the small town of Willowbrook Ridge and is also part of the multi author Sexy Lumbersnacks Series. This story is about Piper and Grayson and how they end up together. I enjoyed getting to know both of them and look forward to reading more books in this small town in the future.

5.0

This is the second book in the newest duet of this series and I loved getting to know Amity & Marshall after meeting them in the first book Double Take. This was a really fun story and I enjoyed seeing how the two of them got to know one another and how their relationship developed. The epilogue at the end was also really sweet. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future including any future books in this series if it continues.

5.0

I was really glad to get to read more about Tabitha and Tom (AKA: Prince Leopold / Leo / Tam'lin) after getting to know them a bit in The Shoeless Prince: A Puss in Boots Retelling. This is my first Retelling of Tam'lin and I thought it was an enjoyable story overall and it was also interesting to see The Little Match Girl & Hansel and Gretel touched upon in this story. The epilogue at the end was also really good. I look forward to read more stories from both the Borderland Fairytale series in the future.
