MY REVIEW

What a great collection of shorts featuring summer flings filled with all the heat you can imagine. There are tropes galore like second chance love, sports, MM, hot bosses, and insta-love. I wanted more at the end of each story and really wish each of these authors would expand all of these shorts to fully-developed stories.
