And these stories are full of intrigue, crescendo, and tension. It reminds me how the characters speak to a piece of your soul. They give us hope in the future, but also in people. That even when we least expect it, someone can surprise us, that we can find second chances, and fleeting moments. Fools in Love was like a balm to my soul. If you’ve loved any of these author’s books, you have to read this anthology. And if you, like me, have been craving some romance stories recently, this is a must read.
