My Review of Love Letter Collection-Timeless Romance Anthology Collection:
I liked the first story about Maggie and her long time crush on her friend. Its always hard to take that chance whether or not you will ruin a good friendship by telling that person your feelings. I loved how she tried to tell him and the end result. Great story!
The second story was my least favorite. It had swear words which were totally unnecessary and the whole story line didn't really interest me. Wren's story about completing her Grampa's bucket list with his two friends.
I loved the third story. Full of funny and embarrassing misunderstandings between a teacher and principal notes-great love story-also about forgiveness and taking a chance on love.
The fourth story was about Shannon and Patrick in an older time period. Loved the story line and time period. The feelings of love and commitment were very real, and of course there were misunderstandings once they were finally reunited after months of writing letters.
Between the lines was fabulous!! Another story set in an older time period. Totally drawn into the characters and story line. I just loved that the two characters got to know each other thru letters-so sweet and great ending!
Blackberry Hollow was also fabulous and by one of my favorite authors. Story line had so much potential to be a longer book, but even with it being short it made sense, tied all the characters together, and was a sweet story! I loved the history of the two family houses and them getting to know each other.
I loved the last 3 stories the best and they had the potential of being longer stories. I love the timeless romance story collections!! I loved that all these stories were in various locations and time periods. Great clean romantic read! Can't wait to read the next one this summer.
