My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Feisty Heroines is a collection of short stories by 36 fantastic authors. The stories vary in genre, with two sections dedicated to paranormal and fantasy stories such as Tia Didmon’s Dragon Rules and Elleen Mint’s Banshee Kiss, one section of contemporary romance such as Maggie Adams’ Good Bones and Savannah Kade’s Redemption, and one section of historical fiction including To Rescue My Princess by Lane McFarland and Destiny’s Way by Karen Muir.
This collection is a great way to meet new authors. The short stories don’t require a big commitment, and after each one there is information about books the author has written. Romance fans are bound to find some new favourites, and the mix of genres might draw you out of your comfort zone.
As the title of the collection suggests, all of these stories present a strong female lead. I was particularly impressed by Casey in Adams’ Good Bones, who runs a palliative care home and is fighting a developer who wants to turn the property into a fancy golf course. Her unconditional care for others and determination to do what is best for the community is admirable.
For me, this is a five star collection. It’s introduced me to a lot of authors who I look forward to reading more of, and the short stories have been perfect for flicking through in a lunchbreak (they would also be great for reading on the train if I wasn’t stuck at home!). I’d definitely recommend this to romance fans who can’t decide what to read next!
