My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Askew Ever After: A Limited Edition Romance Collection brought together some wonderfully talented storytellers, each creating their own unique and individual story to add to this wonderful anthology. There are quite a few hours of pleasurable reading to be had here, with something to suit all romantics.
I have read a few of these author’s work before and love what they do. But most of the authors were new-to-me, so I really enjoyed exploring their work, getting a feel for what they do, and having more authors and books to add to my TBR. All the stories are really great- so do yourself a favour and grab a copy and start exploring the numerous enticing stories this anthology has to offer.

There is a wide variety of stories (and elements) such as contemporary romance, second chances, sister’s bestfriend, friends to lovers, romcom, holiday/Christmas, billionaire, historical/regency, drama, chemistry, finding love unexpectedly, emotion, suspense, interesting and likeable characters- and so much more.
Just to mention a couple of my favourites-
Paper Love (A Chicago Christmas Book #2) by Aubrey Wynne was such a cute and sweet holiday romance. I really enjoyed meeting Joss and Ben- they really were perfect together. I was immediately intrigued by this story because I also grew up in Papua New Guinea- spending the first 12 years of my life there, so the fact that Joss had grown up there built an immediate connection with her- then add Ben into the mix and the story really ‘sang’. I loved the pigeon and origami elements- they added another element of interest to the storyline.
Second Chance is the conclusion to the Flowers In December trilogy by Jane Suen. This sweet story is all about second chances- with a very realistic and believable storyline. Ms. Suen definitely saved the best till last, as this is my favourite of the three books, for sure.
I am happy to recommend this Anthology! It is worth every cent of the purchase price- 23 books for the price of one…. Now that’s what I call a fantastic deal!
Happy Reading!

Thank you to all the contributing authors!
