I love anthologies, not just because they're quick reads but because we are usually treated to new
authors or a new series through the novellas included in them. Such is the case of
CONFESSIONS OF A SECRET ADMIRER, a Valentine’s Day Anthology featuring novellas
by Jennifer Ryan, Candis Terry, and Jennifer Seasons.
***I could’ve read an
eARC provided by the publisher but I chose to wait to purchase this one for my
own personal reading, and I’ll tell you why after the review.
Blurb for CONFESSIONS OF A SECRET ADMIRER:
Some secrets are meant
to be revealed …
Or so you’ll discover, in three sexy, unforgettable
Valentine’s Day stories from New York Times & USA
Today bestselling author Jennifer Ryan and contemporary romance stars

I’ve chosen to review
only one of the three novellas, although all three are worthy of reading and
make this anthology an absolute delight and a must read if you love the whole
secret admirer idea but time constraints force me to choose only one. I cannot
resist choosing the one that I favored the most and the winner is ….
SWEET FORTUNE by Candis
Terry features the characters introduced in the Sweet, Texas series, which if
you haven’t read them yet then read this wonderful novella and fall in love
with the incredible characters that live in Sweet, Texas for you’ll never wish
to leave once you do.
Sarah Randall, former
assistant to Charli Brooks who we met in ANYTHING BUT SWEET and won the heart
of the amazingly gorgeous Reno Wilder, sigh, but I digress. Sarah went home to L.A.
but without her boss and friend, Charli, or her job, life was in need of a
change so she returned to the place that felt like home to her – Sweet, Texas. It’s
also the place, where a certain Deputy caught her eye and her desire.
Brady Bennett has been
burned by love and worse, he was burned by love on Valentine’s Day so anything
that smacks of hearts and roses and that particular day just darkens his mood.
And he despises surprises, so when a ‘secret admirer’ starts leaving homemade
fortune cookies wrapped in heart covered cellophane with sprinkles, he is not
pleased. Fortunately, a sweet, exciting, and very sexy new waitress at the
diner brightens his day with her adventurous and flirtatious ways.
SWEET FORTUNE, a Sweet,
Texas novella by Candis Terry is absolutely a deliciously sweet addition to
this wonderful series. Brady is right up there on the sexy heat scale with the
Wilder brothers, and Sarah is another heroine by Candis that you can’t help but
wish to have as a best friend. As usual, we’re treated to the greatest collection
of delightful characters ever created. I love visiting the town of Sweet, and I
love how these characters pull you into their story as if they’re asking you to
pull up a chair and stay awhile, which is something I love to do.
If you read CONFESSIONS OF A SECRET ADMIRER, a Valentine’s Day Anthology for any reason at all, I highly recommend it’s to read this wonderful story about giving love another chance because you’ve met the right person and finding that love can truly heal scarred hearts. By the way, the other two novellas are just as good as this one and well worth the reading as well. So go for it and at less than two dollars for ebook anthology, how can you go wrong.

Now, I told you I had
another special reason for choosing this novella to review. Well, it’s because
Candis was so sweet as to dedicate SWEET FORTUNE to yours truly. You got it,
she dedicated it to me and I’m so pleased about it, I could burst. So grab
yourself a copy of CONFESSIONS OF A SECRET ADMIRER, a Valentine’s Day Anthology
by Candis Terry, Jennifer Ryan, and Jennifer Seasons and fall in love.
Happy Reading Everyone!
