Customer Reviews

Oh my!

I HIGHLY recommend this book! I'd read work by 3 of these authors previously and this anthology did NOT disappoint! I wasn't sure how I would be able to continue to get excited knowing that each ending would be in "the chapel," but I couldn't have been more wrong! The ladies & gentlemen ranged in age and circumstance and I was pleasantly entertained with each one. Can't think of a reason to hesitate in getting this one!
