There is just no way you won’t find something you will love in this book. I really enjoyed it and have some stories I can’t wait for more of. I also read two paranormal stories and you better write this down because I actually enjoyed them. This coming from the girl who doesn’t read paranormal stories period. I also loved that several authors I have read before have written stories that are the total opposite of their previous stories. It’s always so nice to read an author and see them switch it up. It is great for their readers and showcases their talent as a writer. You can not go wrong by purchasing A Love For Romance and getting lost in fifteen wonderfully amazing stories for a while.
