4.5 stars really. As with the first anthology, I wasn't able to read every single story, so my review will be related just to the ones I was able to read. I did start out thinking I'd be able to read them all, but ran out of time, and so ended up just skipping a few to get to the authors I know and love.

First was The Guy in the Middle by Kate Stewart, and it started off really good, basically an enemies to more type of story, but then, a cliffhanger? And I need to know about Harper and Lance, that ending! Guess I'll be waiting for her to put out the rest of the story at some point.

Next was Arena Lights by Mandi Beck, but I didn't get to finish it before I jumped on to a different story. However, it was definitely good, and I'll be going back to finish it when I get the chance!

I jumped ahead to The Teaching Hours by Sara Ney, because I love that series, and I have really wanted to see Rex Gunderson get his own story, and here it is. Well, I loved it. I know Rex was a PIA, but in the end, couldn't help but want him to get his own chance. And love his term, "funcle"-fun uncle. How do I make a term like that for me being the fun auntie?

After that I read Holt's Story by Meghan Quinn, which I was loving, until she ended with a cliffhanger as well! Fortunately compared to the first cliffhanger story, this one at least was a sorta happy for now ending, so I can be patient for the conclusion to Holt's story at some point.

Finally I started the story by Ilsa Madden-Mills, Dear Ava, and if I hadn't had to go to bed for work today, a day I have to work both jobs, I might have stayed up until I finished it. It was emotional and definitely a page-turner.

Definitely going to be highly recommending this one!
