Let's see more like these!,
This review is from: Love Triumphs (Paperback)
I picked up this book only because I was so bowled over by a writing book by one of the coauthors, Tami D. Cowden. I've read mystery short stories for years, but had never really seen a collection of truly short romance stories before - most of those are novellas. But this unique collection does not contain novellas - these are nice punchy short stories just like I find in mystery anthologies. You'll be amazed at the characterization the authors manage to pack into so few words - the very brevity makes each story so much more powerful. The stories themselves are quite varied. A few brought tears to my eyes, while others had me laughing out loud. Each one truly different from the other. The only things they have in common are the very satisfying happy endings! I recommend this books as something off the beaten path. But frankly, I hope to see a lot more books like this in the future!

Great stories for the romantically inclined!,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Triumphs (Paperback)
Need a quick pick me up? Hate having your reading time interrupted? Try Love Triumphs, a collection of short romance stories that will have you remembering that instant you fell in love. Written by five wonderful authors, this electronically published anthology is worth a second look. I usually like my romances long and involved, with detailed characterization and vividly imaginative settings, so this collection caught me by surprise. Each story is brief and yet has character portrayals that stick with you. Within these stories you are bound to find yourself, and come face-to-face with your own insecurities and doubts. Whether you are still searching for your true love or have been happily married for fifty years, these stories will remind you of that powerful, all-consuming feeling that we call love and how often it can catch us by surprise. Within every mountain there lies a sparkle of gold and within this collection there is a true gem. Seven stories truly touched my heart and left me yearning for more, more detail, more scenes, more joy and heartbreak. Author Carolee Joy is the treasure buried within these pages. Every story she wrote was more poignant, more heart-touching than the others. I sincerely hope to see more written by her in the future for I feel this is an author with true potential. If you have only five minutes during your day and wish you had something to fill it, pick up this great collection of stories. They might reflect you, they might move you, but they are guaranteed to touch your heart and remind you that love can often be found in the most unexpected of places. RecommendedAimee E.
