Each author was given the same first sentence. Where they took that sentence was completely up to them.<\/p>\n<p>Every story is different. No story is related.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing these stories have in common is their starting point. Each author showcased in this anthology was featured in The Bookworm Box in 2020.

They have been friends for ages and have never crossed the line to being more but a scavenger hunt during Halloween may give them the push they need to take a chance.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s sweet and funny and I felt Piper and Dane&#8217;s friendship. Their chemistry is palpable and I believed their attraction and how they didn\u2019t quite know how to be honest about it what they we both feeling. When they open it, it\u2019s a \u201cfinally\u201d moment and I loved it. I wouldn\u2019t have minded it being longer or even a full-length novel. You can definitely read it as a standalone but I loved it&#8217;s connection to <i>Dear Ava<\/i> which I absolutely adored.<\/p>\n<p><i>*ARC of Sincerely Dane generously provided by the\u00a0<\/i><i>author*<\/i><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><br \/>\nOffice Hours<\/strong><\/em><strong> by Alessandra Torre<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>Office Hours <\/i>is\u00a0a forbidden student\/teacher treat that really brings on the heat and I devoured it. Laney needs to reschedule her exam since she is supposed to be on a plane out of town during the scheduled test time. Her first attempt to change it via email was a big fail so she decides to meet with her teacher in person.Laney knows exactly what she is doing when she goes to Mr. Miller\u2019s office hours. This time she won\u2019t take no for an answer.<\/p>\n<p>This short is seriously steamy. It sets the stage, gives us the buildup we want, and then brings on all the heat. I\u2019m so glad we get both POVs because I loved getting in Mr. Miller\u2019s head after Laney sets the stage with her attraction. It made this taboo read more entertaining since we also know how he feels.<\/p>\n<p>And that ending! Such a great set up for more *hint hint.* Whether it stays a short story or becomes a full length novel, one thing is for sure &#8211; these two are on fire<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><br \/>\nThe Shelby<\/em> by Jewel E Ann<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wow. I had no idea what I was getting into when I started this novella. It is different from what I usually read but I loved it nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t even want to tell you what it is about because it would ruin it. I will say that I was sucked into the story from the start and was eager to see where it was going. And I had no idea what was coming. It\u2019s twisted and entertaining but I wouldn\u2019t change a thing. And can I just say I love the ending! It\u2019s perfect for this short!!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><br \/>\nWhat If\u2026<\/em> by K. Bromberg<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shyloh is about to marry the man of her dreams in four days and everything seems to be on track until a fortune teller puts a bug in her head. She brushes it off at first but then realizes her life might not be the one she wants when she is faced with a big \u201cwhat if.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed this quick read. It sets the scene for what could be an amazing second chance romance if this ends up being the start to a full-length novel.<\/p>\n<p>There is second guessing when past collides with present and I loved Shyloh and Jake&#8217;s relationship. \u00a0It&#8217;s strong and never-ending even as years pass and it made me so warm inside. I loved it and would love more to their story.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><br \/>\nAlways Cake<\/em> by Max Monroe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oh my goodness, what an adorable short. This novella is a friends-to-lovers romance that gave me exactly what I didn\u2019t know I needed. I was hooked on Emily and Austin and they stole my heart.<\/p>\n<p>The premise is basically like \u201cMy Best Friend\u2019s Wedding\u201d. Emily and Austin have been best friends forever, and they share the same birthday and always celebrate together. On their 21st birthday they made a pact that if they weren\u2019t in a relationship by the time they are 35 then they would marry each other.<\/p>\n<p>Their 35th birthday is fast approaching and Emily has to face the truth: she\u2019s in love with Austin and needs to tell him now.<\/p>\n<p>This story is so sweet and swoony, and also so much fun! It gave us lots of feels and history between Emily and Austin even though it\u2019s a quick read. I was actually nervous leading up to their birthday. It\u2019s amazing that I could be so invested after such a short time but I was and I loved it!!<\/p>\n<p>I would love this show too be turned into a full-length novel. I\u2019m dying for all of the details that Emily touched on and more. Such a fun read!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two More Days\u00a0Anthology Featured Authors: Colleen Hoover, Aileen Erin, Alessandra Torre, Chanda Hahn, Charleigh Rose, Dominique Laura, Eric Asher, Ilsa Madden-Mills, Jennifer Wilson, Jessica Hawkins, Jewel E.
