Terri Blackstock writes the first novella, For Love or Money. In this short story (just 140 pages and one hour of reading time) we meet Julie, a waitress, and Blake, the man she's waiting on at the restaurant where she works. This story had me giggling and cheering for the couple as they wove their way around a lot of money and tried to find each other in the process. Very sweet story and a nice departure from the suspense that we've come to expect from Terri Blackstock.
The second entry in the book is The Recipe by Candace Calvert. I've not heard of this author before but if her other works are as good as this one then I must find them. A sweet story of two people who find each other in the most unexpected of ways.
The third is Hook, Line & Sinker by Susan May Warren. It was my least favorite of the three which surprised me because I've enjoyed many books by this author. Maybe it was just the theme of fishing, something that I have no interest in at all. I found it dull and I couldn't finish reading this story even though it was only eighty pages in its entirety.
Nice idea, to volume three short stories together. It appeared that I liked them in order that they were put together. This would be a great book to take on a vacation. The stories are short and fun to read.
