4 Stars from me.

This is a collection of three shorter stories by three amazing authors. The three stories are connected to each other by using the same characters in each one in some way.

Against the Heart is the first one by Kat Martin. What I liked about this one was the human connection angle. This story was more than just Ian and Meri meeting and falling in love, but also about Ian’s father, Daniel, finding his way back to life after his wife’s passing.

Shaken by Rebecca Zanetti is the second book. I loved this one the most for the romance and the relationship development between Michelle and Evan. They fell in love as teenagers when they were in the same foster home for a short period of time. The fell apart because Evan was in the military and Michelle had a hard time dealing with the dangerous aspects of his career. And Evan showed no signs of ever leaving. Now Evan is a small-town sheriff and has every intention of winning Michelle back. And there was plenty of action.

Echoes of the Past by Alexandra Ivy is the third book. This one came out on top in terms of action and excitement. I enjoyed the journey of reconnection between Melanie and Gray as well. This story was pretty fast-paced and offered plenty of thrills.

The styles of the three authors worked well together to make this entire book very enjoyable.

I received an advanced copy of the book from Netgalley to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Was I hooked by this book? Yes, it was hard to put down.
