Note: I was given a complimentary copy for an honest review.This is a delightful collection of novellas around the central theme of life in the town of Echo Ridge, New York. The library, which is managed by Britta Klein, is fundraising for some much needed improvements. So, each novella features a different character who is involved in the fundraiser and their individual romance. Also, integrated into each novella is a particular classic book that becomes part of the plot, not to mention the name of the novella.The Kiss Thief by Rachelle Christensen introduces the overarching theme of the fundraiser and all of the various characters that we get to know in the other stories. It then focuses on Britta Klein and her romance with Milo Geissler. The themes covered in the story are about one's heritage and overcoming past hurts and insults.The Lion. The Witch, and the Library by Lucy McConnell focuses on Jennifer Solomon and Kirke Staples. Jennifer loves to read and spends as much time as possible in the library while she tries to complete her library sciences degree. In the meantime, her best friend, Kirke, who is a playwrite, finds himself in a love triangle with reality TV star, Bay Barington.The Last of the Gentlemen by Cami Checketts focuses on another library board member, Chayton Liechty who is the high school lacrosse coach and Emma Turner who is a single mother of 3 and whose son is the lacrosse team captain. The themes covered in this story are about overcoming a traumatic past relationships.Much Ado About a Kiss by Heather Tullis focuses on Fay Griffith and Austin Sparks. This is a second chance story and covers themes such as forgiveness and confessing past mistakes.
This is a great collection of novellas based in a fictional town named Echo Ridge. All the stories have something to do with the library fundraiser that the town is doing. The first one The Kiss Thief is about Brittany Klein who is the head librarian. She was teased and ridiculed as a child for her German heritage so she tries to hide it. Milo Geissler is the local piano tuner and a gifted musician and very German. He has been interested in Britta from the beginning and Britta feels an attraction towards him too but she fights it because of his obvious German heritage. Milo comes to Britta's rescue a few times and Britta's heart starts to soften towards him. Can Britta see past childhood experiences to find a love of a lifetime?The next story The Lion, The Library is about Jennifer and Kirk. Jennifer wants to be more than just Kirk's best friend. Bay Barrington a movie star that Kirk has been obsessed with comes to town and the two start to date. Jennifer must decide whether to fight for Kirk or let him go and move on. Will Kirk open his eyes and see that his best friend can be so much more?The Last of the Gentlemen is about Emma Turner a single mom who is struggling to make ends meet and her son's lacrosse coach Chayton. Emma lost her first husband to death and went through a bad divorce with her second abusive husband. She has given up on happily ever after and is just trying to take care of her 3 children. Chayton admires Emma's beauty and her strength. He can't help but love her children too. Will Emma let Chayton help her see that she has a chance at love and a complete family?Much Ado about a kiss is about Fay who owns the town's main restaurant and her brother's best friend Austin. Fay and Austin shared a kiss in high school which Fay thinks was a prank.
The Kiss Thief by Rachelle J. ChristensenThis was such a cute story! I was about two insecure people trying to overcome their own short comings to be able to learn love each other. When love comes before they expected they both become skiddish and run from each other. We all do that in life don't we? This was a great reminder of many life lessons. Great job Rachelle!The Lion, The Witch, and the Library by Lucy McConnellI loved this one! Jennifer and Kirke were made for each other. Best friends long before a serious relationship bloomed which is how it should be! The best relationships come from being best friends in my opinion. This was an awesome addition to the set!The Last of the Gentlemen by: Cami CheckettsI loved this one so much! Being a single Mom is hard. Trying to keep all your kids happy as well as your self, while still doing everything, is exhausting. I know from experience because my hubs is gone A LOT and I play this role nearly everyday. Emma needed a guy like Chayton in her life to help keep things balanced and to love her AND all her baggage. All the lacrosse stuff was great too. I know that is a big part of the Authors life which makes the story that much better. I love a great happily ever after! Another great one Cami!Much Ado About A Kiss by: Heather TullisFay reminds me so much of me. I am not a forgiving person at all. Once you are on my bad side it's near impossible to change my mind about you. I needed to hear this story this week. I think it was meant just for me... I loved Fay and Austin's story it was awesome. They come from a long history with a lot of misunderstanding. It was so fun to watch them try to build a new and better relationship. This story brought on a lot of thinking material for me...
