A Timeless Romance Anthology

Ok guys, I know it has been a while since I posted anything but that is life with 4 kids.

I am excited to share with you readers this assortment of romance novellas.  Before I get into my thoughts about it let me share a note from the main authors:

"Heather B. Moore, Annette Lyon, and Sarah M. Eden have been indie publishing this series since 2012 through the Mirror Press imprint.  For each anthology we carefully select 3 guest authors.  Our goal is to offer a way for our readers to discover new, favorite authors by reading these romance novellas written exclusively for our anthologies...all for one great price."

Does that  not sound great to you?  I love it!  Every time one of these anthologies come out I get a novella from 3 authors I enjoy and I get 3 more from other authors, some I already know and love and some I don't know but get to find out if I like them or not.  When I finish one collection and get to see what is coming next I nerd out a bit and get a little giddy with the anticipation of more.  It can't be helped really.

Because these timeless romance anthologies are plentiful I didn't want to highlight just one.  Because I am not highlighting just one I really can't give a rating.  When I rate the collections individually on goodreads I usually give them a rating based on the overall feel of it which doesn't really account for my feelings of the individual novella, some of which are better than others.

Between my sister and I we own an e-copy of every collection in the timeless romance anthology.  We both read it and then we talk about our favorites and it's really just so fun for us.  They are always 4.99 on amazon, which in my opinion is very affordable and totally worth it.

If you wanna read these and don't know where to start I suggest starting at the beginning.  That's the way I like to do it at least.  But if you aren't picky about such things as I am then I suggest starting with which cover or collection looks most appealing to you or if you see an author you like within a collection.  If you are wondering which collection is my favorite I would have to say the Summer Wedding Collection.  There are some seriously great ones in there.  I also wanna give a shout out to the Love Letters Collection as one of the guest authors is a talented lady in my ward(church) named Karey White.  I'm less inclined to say which one is my least favorite cuz I don't want to be rude or step on any toes.  I believe I have the pictures above in order of when they came out, the Winter Collection being the first and California Dreamin' being set for release in spring 2015.

For your convenience I will go ahead and list each collection below and link it to it's goodreads page.

A Timeless Romance Anthology: Winter Collection
A Timeless Romance Anthology: Spring Vacation Collection
A Timeless Romance Anthology: Summer Wedding Collection
A Timeless Romance Anthology: Autumn Collection
A Timeless Romance Anthology: European Collection
A Timeless Romance Anthology: Love Letter Collection
A Timeless Romance Anthology: Old West Collection
A Timeless Romance Anthology: Summer in New York Collection
A Timeless Romance Anthology: Silver Bells Collection
A Timeless Romance Anthology: All Regency Collection
A Timeless Romance Anthology: California Dreamin' Collection

Some of my favorite authors have been guest authors(Janette Rallison, Melanie Jacobson to name a couple), not to mention the recurring Sarah M. Eden who tops my favorites in Regency romance.

If you have never bought an e-book before this is a good way to start.  If you have a smart phone dowload the kindle app and read it from you phone or ipad.  You don't have a smart phone you say? No worries! All you need is an amazon account and you can log into the kindle cloud reader and read from your computer.  Easy peasy.  Enjoy and if you feel so inclined let me know what you think!
