My Personal Rating-

I don’t normally read novella because they’re normally short & rushed...Two and a half of the stories in this novella collection didn’t feel like novellas. Let’s break them down;

The first book, “Moonlight Promise”, was pretty good, I liked it but it felt like a novella.

Book Two, “Lessons in Love”, was my favorite because of the writing style and it felt (in a good way!) a lot longer than 94 pages.

Number #3, “One Little Word”, was my second favorite because I enjoyed reading about the making of the carousel.

And the last book “A Saving Grace”'s story-line was just plain odd to me. Find out at the end of that novella that it’s based on the true story! Say what?! Creepy!

These novellas gave a little bit size taste of the author’s work were you can read them and decided if you want to read more of that author’s work. Like me, I’m looking forward to reading Ann Shorey & Amanda Cabot’s other works soon!

See y'all tomorrow with another review!
