This story can be found in the Something True series.  The novel can be read as a standalone.  For reader enjoyment, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading The Dating Arrangement before reading this title.

Grace makes happy endings easier for all the brides she works with.  She wants someday to have an HEA of her own.  Right now the only man that makes her sizzle when she thinks of him is Xander.  Yet, he is supposed to be off limits.

Xander did not expect to run into Grace.  When an incident happens, he becomes very protective and he is not sure why.  He has always been attracted to her, but he is sure she will never give him the time of day.  How do you change a stubborn woman's mind?

This book was what traditional romance should be.  These characters are rich, deep and compelling.  I loved that they were opposites, who cannot stop thinking about each other.  The chemistry for them is strong.  The heat in this story is on par and sizzles throughout the book.  This author is a 1-click for me and after reading this, I am sure you can see why.  I give this read a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Jack moves back to take over the bar, after his father's death.  He has no idea the surprises coming his way.  Emerson crashes into his life in the literal sense.  He finds that being around her makes everything make sense.

Emerson is told repeatedly by family she is not good enough.  She has spent the last year, picking up the pieces of a failed relationship.  Jack helps her out, so she returns the favor at the bar.  Now if they can just get their timing right.

This book was such a sexy slow burn.  These characters were so ready for one another and did not even know it.  I loved that reading this story made me laugh, and tear up.  Everything a romance should be.  I cannot wait to read the next installment in the new Something True series.  I give this read a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

...well, I didn't get what I wanted. In fact, this book fell on its overly spanked ass when it comes to titillation.

It's an anthology, so...

Tale the first features a sex predator who was perfectly willing to pay a hooker to have sex with him, and since she takes money for sex, she can't complain about his proclivities. Only one problem - the h may have been dressed like a hooker, but was v. insulted when he asked her how much. Her spine dissolved in a box of calla lilies and unsatisfied lust, and even though she wasn't asked if she was on-board for a round of BDSM lite, and even though every time he did something she didn't like, she jerked away and demanded to know what he was doing, she still wanted laid bad enough to NOT show him the door.

Tale the second... Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip...

What does Gilligan got to do with romance? Oh, nothing much unless that group of castaways was abducted by tentacled aliens, one dork named Gilligan spilled all the female DNA, and now Uranus is populated by 2 million men and less than 50 women. I mean; this had a lot of promise, but the poop humor was strong, the premise, while doable, a bit less than well executed, and the writing really off.
example:
"Not again, seven times is my limit," Jared grumbled under his breath. He slowly awoke and made a smacking sound with his mouth.
"Talk about bad morning breath. I feel like I just ate a cat." He grinned. "Or a pu$$y"

No idea why that bit of dialog was divided into two paragraphs. But that sort of thing is all through the story.

Tale the third...started out like you were reading an overview of your brother or father or someone's romance, with lots of sex, then dwindling sex due to life... then it got weird. The guy decides to spice things up, so gets handcuffs - apparently cursed handcuffs - fails to note that one needs a 4-poster for that sort of thing (although they do make special bondage sheets)... and then they start getting visited once a week by a sex demon (isn't that a succubus?) disguised as a middle aged lady. They reluctantly allow her to give them bondage instructions, which culminates in a meeting with another couple stuck in a rut, and having fun and games while watching...or was it some sort of competition? Not sure. Was too weirded out really.

Do I recommend? How bored are you? You could probably find more interesting things to read on wikipedia TBH.

The Three Billy Goat Gruff is about three brother goats that eat all the grass on their hill. They decide to take a adventure to another hill that is full of grass, but are fearful of a troll that lives under the bridge that they would have to cross. Little Billy Goat Gruff as well as Middle Billy Goat Gruff trick the troll using their smart brains in order to get over the bridge. Bigger Billy Goat Gruff uses his strength to overcome the troll so he can get over the bridge. This book shows that no matter what your strengths are, you are always able to overcome any fears or obstacles that may enter your path! 

How I would use this book in my classroom:

I would use this book in my classroom during a character analysis lesson! I would have my students compare/contrast the goats to each other as well as describe the traits of the troll (since a page in the book goes into great detail about the trolls appearance and personality).
