Best anthology I’ve read in a long time…Ok, so this anthology is totally worth it. I read it with KU, but if you don’t have KU whatever the cost it’s good because I’ve read many anthologies and only read one or two stories, well so far I’ve read 6 of these and definitely plan to go back and read the rest.Sincerely, Dane by Ilsa Madden-Mills was super sweet and fun. It has side characters from Dear Ava in it, but I hadn’t read that book and I was still able to follow along with the story easily.

Half a month later... I am ditching this. 🤯🔫Not even the stories from authors I thought to be safe are working. It could be my fault though since I hardly have enough time to read and my chaotic life is really messing with my concentration. 🤷‍♀️Just can't take this anymore.Sorry, book.

This review is for The Dress by Colleen Hoover.4.5/5 starsColleen Hoover is my favorite author. I will read anything that she writes. So I was so excited to get to read this new short story.Every story in this anthology starts with the same line TWO MORE DAYS until it happens.The narrator is 29 year old Jessica (1st person POV).

Fun collection of short stories. A big tease really because I wanted the full length version of some of the ones I read

3.5 overall stars This one's a collection of 30 short stories from 30 different authors, each starting with: "TWO MORE DAYS until it happens."There are multiple genres: YA contemporary, YA fantasy, rom-com, women's fiction, paranormal, contemporary romance, romantic suspense.I actually read them all... don't know why but it became a project for me. 😜My ratings/impressions:DNF😖 Tequila Mate | Katie Ashley (contemporary romance) - hated the writing 😖 Always Cake | Max Monroe (rom-com) - best frien...

Sincerely Dane by Ilsa Madden-Mills I was SO excited for this one! And it was such a sweet, adorable, and sexy little short. Piper and Dane are from an all time favorite, Dear Ava- the bestie of Ava and Knox’s twin brother, respectively of course. And, per usual, we have that delightful IMM quirky flair- thanks to a rogue text, a scavenger hunt, and the cast of the three little pigs and red riding hood. Ah yes- two more days until Halloween. This has swoony friends to lovers vibes, and is just

So... it really didn’t feel like I read 940 pages, as the stories were really easy to read and some of them were too short for my liking. I’m the kind of person who craves for details. But anyway, I knew I couldn’t expect a lot of details considering that this was an anthology. To be honest, I read it just because I wanted to read something new written by Colleen. 🙈

I was so excited to review Sincerely Dane by Ilsa Madden Mills. This short story packed a powerful punch as it had everything we love from Mills and her stories: heart, humor, sizzling tension and a fantastic story. I love that this story was a complete standalone but followed some of the characters from Dear Ava years later. I loved every word of this novella and seriously wanted more! Bravo! 4 stars! ~Ratula

I will add to this as I read more stories from this anthology.To start:Sunshine Rae by Kandi Steiner:Awww Kandi packed a punch in these pages. Angst + Banter + Heart = Sunshine Perfection 💛Dark Eyes by Karina Halle:For me it was fun to get background on Amethyst's introduction to Absolon, Wolf, & Ezra. I met Amethyst in Black Sunshine. It was atmospheric and does have me wanting more of that world.The Dress by Colleen Hoover:I loved getting this from Colleen. It was the perfect combination of he...

4.5 stars for Colleen Hoover’s story

I love these kinds of books because we get to know new to us authors and check em out.I see some just buy these for their author so they can read that, but I'm the one who reads em all unless it's in third person, then I need to pass.What these all had was the best friend is/was the crush and that kind of became a bit obvious and not all that fun.. But not all of them had that!Tequila mate by Katie AshleyI really liked this one from the start, it made me giddy and swoony to read.Always Cake by M...

-Sincerely Dane By Ilsa Madden Mills (4 stars)This is a very short but sweet story with Piper and Dane from Dear Ava. Get ready for a Halloween adventure! Part of the bookworm box special Anthology with all the stories start with the same sentence.

Dane’s story by Ilsa Madden-mills I don’t even know how to put into words what I just read.Finally we have our Dane, And It’s better than what I could ever wish for.It’s the real definition of short but intense.There’s also a reference to the revenge pact that I’m sure you’ll love.All I’ll tell you is enjoy the ride and get ready for a rollercoaster of emotionsAbsolutely 5 stars!!!*ARC IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW *

2⭐️rating only for the dress by colleen hoover. i was so triggered. literally couldn't even handle 4 chapters. ya not it for me. i just want to go cry in a corner somewhere.

Sincerely, Dane by Ilsa Madden-Mills 4 stars!Sincerely, Dane is a sweet little treat that gives us more of Piper and Dane who we met in Dear Ava . They have been friends for ages and have never crossed the line to being more but a scavenger hunt during Halloween may give them the push they need to take a chance.It’s sweet and funny and I felt Piper and Dane's friendship. Their chemistry is palpable and I believed their attraction and how they didn’t quite know how to be honest about it wh

➳ Rate:  4 / 5 starsSo far I’ve only read Sincerely Dane by Ilsa Madden Mills.I love that this is a crossover between two of Ilsa’s worlds! I kind of wish that it had been longer. Dane deserved that. We loved him in Dear Ava and hoped he’d get his own book.I hope it’ll happen one day. I mean friends to lovers who have been in love with each other for a while. Think of all the longing, angsty goodness we’d get if we got the story told throughout the years of their friendship. It would be an epic

This review is based on Ilsa Madsen Mills contribution to this anthology titled "Sincerely Dane."If you follow my reviews, than you know Ilsa's publication of "Dear Ava" back in 2020 held (and still holds) such a special place in my heart. Everything about it was perfection, so when we were told this anthology was going to contain Knox's twin brother, Dane, I couldn't wait!! And what a ride it was! Dane and Piper have such a cute, friends to lovers story, and it seems that time is finally on the...

Review of Sincerely Dane by Ilsa Madden-MillsWhat a witty, sexy and swoony short story from Ilsa Madden-Mills. Piper and her best friend Dane goes on a treasure hunt for the chance of entering an exclusive Halloween party. And while having fun with friends and attacking crazy challenges, they finally accept their true emotions. Dane is someone who will steal your heart in an instant. A bit c0cky, a whole lot of sweet and undoubtedly charming. Piper is sassy and adorably nerdy. The author made me...

A sweet short story that makes you want the long version.Dane, Knox’s brother from Dear Ava, is newly single. He’s had his eye on Piper for awhile. They’ve been great friends but he’s ready to blur the lines.He has his chance to make his move when he invites Piper on a scavenger hunt. Fun memorable moments ensue. It’s the perfect opportunity to lay his heart on the line.An interesting premise with a great couple. I enjoyed this short story which I am hoping is the beginning of a beautiful romanc...

“Two more days …….”I loved One More Step the first Anthology but this one hits different, I freaking loved it. There’s LOTS of romance, Insta love, revenge plotting, age gap, affairs, best friend love story’s, heartbreak, teacher student seduction and a runaway bride. So many of these short story’s have brought me new authors and a longer TBR.While this book is huge yet was surprisingly easy to get though. I love that the proceeds of this book go to charity and cannot want to get my hands on a p...

I was lucky enough to get to read Sincerely, Dane by Ilsa Madden-Mills and it was such a fun, cute story that does an excellent job pulling in some of my faves from two different series by her!

Review of F*ck by TIJAN Brothers Best Friend, enemies, soccer and college. Yes Please! A great intro and I can’t wait for more of Tysen and Kase.New Adult. Dual POV.

Ok so I only read a few books out of this anthology but for such a great cause I honestly bought it without planning to read any of it. So I am really happy with the fact I got a few amazing reads.

2⭐️This isn’t a review for the entire anthology as I only read Colleen Hoover’s short story ‘The Dress’. I am a CoHo stan so it hurts me to give her such a low rating but her short story was a bit not good. First of all, I have been avoiding all books about covid/mention covid and this mentioned the pandemic literally on the first page so that already put me off. Secondly, I could already see where this was going based on the first page alone and while I know it’s a short story, I still don’t li...
