I enjoyed this a lot! The first novella in this anthology was the first Denise Williams book I ever picked up, and I wasn’t sold on it. I tend to be picky about novellas, it’s easy for them to feel rushed, and that’s how I felt about The Love Connection. I did enjoy it. I liked Ollie and Bennett, I enjoyed the plot and the chemistry, but the third act break up was frustrating and not the most convincing, and it threw the pacing off. Everything that happened after that point felt too rushed to me.
The Missed Connection was my favorite of the three. I adored Gia in TLC, so I was excited to get to her love story, and I love myself a grump in the vein of Felix. The banter, the tension, the angst. All of it was immaculate. This novella was so easy to get caught up in, and it was everything I’d wished the first one had been.
The Sweetest Connection was a close second—largely because friends to lovers is my favorite trope. Teagan and Silas were cute, the pacing was steady and engaging, and reading this story just made me giddy. That grand gesture!
The epilogue was… weird. I think it was supposed to be cute, but it felt unnecessary and I wasn’t a huge fan.
All in all—highly recommend, especially if you liked Ali Hazelwood’s Loathe to Love You collection. This will scratch that itch for sweet, steamy, fas paced fun.
