Its 4.14 in the morning. I have to get up soon. 
These books are perfection. There was something cathartic about this story. My mind is blown. My love for this group is going to be relentless. And for Jess, I was so certain she would run, but she didn't.

Love Between the Lines is anthology from 6 authors, short spicy reads. With all anthologies there is a chance that not all of the stories will work for you and that is what happened here. I know this sounds negative, but it is more that there was a story that i desperately wanted more from that impacted my overall thoughts on the collection. 
The stories ranged in spice levels, settings and tropes, but what they did have in common was the excitement and hope of a new relationship.

Stupid Cupid by Luna Day was first up and it was a quick spicy read that left nothing to the imagination, followed up with The Hand Off by Ellory Douglas which left me desperately wanting more. If this doesn't become a full-length poly romance i will be so annoyed. It's been a solid month and I'm still dirty that this was only a short story. 

The other 4 stories were good, but they didn't have the same impact on me as the first two stories. Would i read all of these authors in the future? Yes.

This isn't a romance, just so you know going in. 
Its a blood stained, erotica novella.

Its still fun. Just not romance or even dark romance.
