This was my first book by Abby Knox and I really enjoyed the story, characters, and town in this book. The story manages to maintain a lighthearted feeling throughout most of the story even though it does touch on some serious topics as well and I felt that it got a lot of story into this novella. I enjoyed getting to know both Shenna & Hurley in this story and enjoyed some of the other characters as well even if we don't get to know them well. The epilogue at the end was also really sweet. I plan to look into some of this authors other books in the future.

I thought this was an interesting Retelling of the Pied Piper which is a story I am less familiar. I thought all the characters in this book were well written and enjoyed getting to know both Rahma & As’ad as well as vaguely getting to know As’ad's pet rats. The reference to Aladdin in this book was also a fun touch for As’ad's history. I look forward to seeing what fairy tales this author will retell in the future.

This is the last book in this set of short stories set in Seduction Summit and is about Josiah & Violet both finally finding love and get their happily ever afters. I enjoyed their story and getting to know both of them better after having gotten glimpses of their characters in previous books. The epilogue was also a fun chapter. I look forward to reading more by this author including the next series Seduction Summit Trails.

This was another fun quick instalove short story set in the small mountain town of Willowbrook Ridge. This book is about Jayce, his niece Harper & Myla and I really enjoyed getting to know all three of them and the different way they each interacted with one another. This book is a standalone and can easily be read without having read the others (I have only read this and the first book so far) but it's fun when you have read the other books and get to peak into how the other characters are doing when they show up. The epilogue at the end was cute and gave a nice look into their future. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future.

This is the fifth book in the Dream Team Shifters series but was the first I had read and I was able to follow along with the storyline fine and backstory was provided about other characters featured more strongly in the previous books although I am sure it is better if you have read them. I really enjoyed getting to know Alex and Jane in this book and thought the two of them worked well together once they finally accepted their connection. The other characters were all entertaining and the plot moved at a good pace. The epilogue was also really enjoyable.

This was a quick open door instalove romance set in the small town of Moonfang Haven and is the introduction of a series of standalone stories between human women and the orcs they fall in love with. This story is about Anne and Urk and I enjoyed getting to know the two of them. The epilogue at the end was also fun and gave readers a peak into their lives six months later.

This is a fun and quick steamy alien Christmas romance set on a space station between K’Laus & Holly. I enjoyed getting to know both of them and all the cute little misunderstandings K’Laus makes, he was really sweet. This was my second alien holiday romance by this author and I look forward to reading more in the future.

This was a quick and fun instalove romance set in the small town of Haven County about widowed single dad Ellis & Georgia. I liked Ellis' two kids Gabe and Nancy as well as his mother in law. Georgia's aunt Catherine was a fun character as well.

I enjoyed getting to know Carter & Ana in this newest instalove short story set in the small town of Seduction Summit, North Carolina and was glad to see Carter find someone after briefly meeting him in the previous book. I am looking forward to reading the next (and final) story in this series and getting to know Violet and see who she ends up with.

I enjoyed reading about Quinn & Rachel in this newest book set in the small town of Seduction Summit. They had a fun meet cute and hit a bit of a rough patch part way through the story but everything turned out well for them in the end. I am looking forward to reading Carter's story in the next book.
