This is an amazing anthology full of talented authors. My reviews are for The Kiss Keeper by Krista Sandor and Secret Plunge by Jasmin Miller. I can't wait to read more from this anthology.

The Kiss Keeper by Krista Sandor: This story made me laugh out loud and swoon very hard from page to page. Natalie and Jake met once years ago and they just didn’t know who the other one was because of the kiss keeper tradition at summer camp. The tradition states one boy and one girl meet by the old well blindfolded for their first kiss but they can’t let each other know who they are and they can’t remove their blindfolds, so Jake and Natalie have their first kiss but it wasn’t by the well it was at her cabin door and years later Natalie still thinks she is cursed. Jake had a rough time at life after that summer at camp so he has worked hard to become a wealthy real estate developer and has shut all feelings and making deeper connections off even if after all this time he thinks about that kiss years ago with a girl he doesn’t know. By some serendipitous chance they meet again by strange events that lead them back to where it all started Camp Woolwich. These two have immediate attraction and go through some funny things and slowly start to fall for each other then, the bottom falls out and now Jake has to prove to Natalie he. really is her Kiss Keeper and they belong together. This was super cute, fun to read, and had amazing characters I loved it all.

Secret Plunge:

Harper and Ryan’s story is an epic and beautiful one that we got to see glimpses of them in Fresh Meet as Jace’s friends. I loved every bit of this short story because Ryan is utterly amazing, and Harper is funny, kind, and beautiful. Their story doesn’t have a traditional start because it starts as a one-night stand and things go from there. I loved their banter, the texts, and how sweet Ryan was towards Harper and their situation. This author has a way of pulling readers into the character’s lives and emotions that a reader can feel what they are.… (more)

I really enjoyed this story. No, I haven’t read any of the others but the way it is written you do not feel like you are missing information that would prevent you from reading and enjoying this beautiful story. If anything it makes you want to read the others in the series. It is extremely well written and developed. I loved Sadie and her personality. It sweet, kind, caring and loving. She also has a bit of spunk and feistiness. I loved Biscuit and his wonderful thoughts. This has a bit of mystery and suspense. It is a fabulous story that is a must read.… (more)

I have only read one other book in this series but I am loving the series. The stories are quick reads but beautifully written and developed. The story has mystery, drama and a tiny bit of action. The characters are stunningly beautiful and their personalities are felt throughout the story. The chemistry between Sadie, Palmer, and Kenwood is very strong. But, the story really doesn’t revolve are that. It is just an extra additional element. It is a fantastic story that keeps me glued to it. It is definitely a must read and doesn’t disappoint.… (more)

I absolutely loved this story. I have not read the 'Loving Summer' series so I am not sure what happened in those books but these books make me want to go back and read all of those as well. Damon Black is an awesome character who was so deeply in love with Summer that he has held onto those feelings for years even though she is no longer in his life. He is working on trying to take down the people who are responsible for the tragedy she went through when she all of a sudden steps back into his life, like fate. This story was intriguing and held my attention the whole book. And I am absolutely shocked with the ending and can't wait to pick up the next book and start that one too.… (more)
