I received a free copy from NetGalley this is my honest opinion.From the start, the stories all fell off one stars for editing When you get many authors put together to write about the same theme, you get all kinds of different genre or direction of a story These are all inspirational but some authors push it too far as if they needed the extra words to reach their quota by putting full length prayers or verses as fillers I would have liked to have the synopsis of the story before each.1 The cos [...]

The Secret Admirer Romance CollectionA wonderful group of authors gathered together to write this collection of Novellas Each story is an independent, stand alone story tied together with the theme of a secret admirer My personal two standout favorites in this collection are Love in Store by Anita Mae Draper Janet Adam s story stood out to me because of the characters and their personal struggle Free spirited Janet grew up without a mother, sheltered by her older brothers Adam hides a world of r [...]

A delightful collection of new romantic novellas with a wide variety of people and settings Ranging from the 1860 s to early 1900 s, in New York and Boston to Kansas and Montana, with the elite rich to the working poor Fun scenarios created by one person having a crush on another, but not knowing how to overcome a barrier, sometimes class, or past mistakes, shyness or family differences Many of these would make good full length novels I enjoyed them all, especially the ones with the gentlemen wh [...]

Nine stories in this collection which I received free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review thank you Netgalley Each novella is reviewed below Overall, an enjoyable read and worth the time I agree with others in that it gets repetitive in some ways Perhaps nine stories in one is too many But for readers of sweet historical romance, this set fits the bill The Cost of a Heart by Amanda Barratt This story was a sweet, historical rendition of attraction between a newly widowed individual w [...]

When you collect nine authors who tell nine stories, you get some of the same kinds of stories, but all from a different perspective, and all have the right length to allow you to get away for an hour in the afternoon and escape the real world.The problem with this format of reading is that the authors who are ultimately qualified to write these stories, are hamstrung by the length of the narrative Few authors are able to develop a plot as well as the personalities that populate the plot Barbour [...]

Instead of reviewing a whole collection of stories, those within this book, I have chosen to review one of the many stories This one is by Molly Noble Bull I have read all the other stories in this collection and found them delightful, fun, as varied as you can get in a collection, and purposeful I highly recommend this whole book I enjoyed being able to sit down and in one setting finish a short story or novella Too Many Secrets, by Molly Noble Bull is a short story and short stories, just by t [...]

This was interesting mix of novellas with a secret admirer theme I liked all of them some than others The Cost of a Heart It was okay A story about socialite and her chauffeur after her husbands death I would give it 2 stars individually There was nothing about it that grabbed me The Advocate I really liked this story I liked the story line and the characters It had humor and romance and I enjoyed the western setting I would give this story 3.5 stars.Too Many Secrets, was probably my least favo [...]

It s always hard to read a collection of novellas written by multiple authors and review it Barbour Publishing and the authors usually do a good job of holding the theme of the novellas together and generating a collection worth reading All the featured authors in this collection are new to me I particularly enjoyed Beside Still Waters by Whitham and Love From Afar by Zeller Both short stories were well written and the characters were well defined and well portrayed Both storylines carried thems [...]

Oh my What an absolute delight it was to read The Secret Admirer Romance Collection This is a collection of short stories by 9 Christian fiction authors What I love about the stories is that they are clean christian fiction and I don t have to worry about hiding what I am reading when my younger children come into the room I even approve of my teens reading these stories I love that I can read as much or as little at a time as I want to with these shorter stories yet that they are full stories a [...]

4 Stars I very much enjoyed this collection of nine historical romance novellas I loved the secret admirer aspect of these stories I liked the unpredictability of who the secret admirer was too, it wasn t always a main character I don t feel the need to give a synopsis or even to review each novella in this collection They are all good I was excited to read this collection as it was written by some of my favorite authors as well as some new to me authors.Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley [...]

I really enjoy the themed romance collections much than the common setting romance collections With the theme Secret Admirer, I really like how there were so many different takes on the same idea Made me feel for those shy people And I liked that they were not your normal storybook stories Seemed real maybe Of course I was also glad it always worked out for the couples, I mean who hasn t secretly admired someone Great stories

Hmmm Another one that is not for me It s a different take on romance stories, so I suppose it will have it s fans This has a Christian bent to it, so it s a safe one for younger women Nothing scandalous , just nice historic, chaste love.

Wonderful collection If you like historical romance like myself This is a must read.

I really loved the book I really liked The Cost of a Heart by Amanda Barratt and The Last Letter by CJ Dunham I loved the last letter because it was different, unlike all the other books hers was written from a one point perspective not from the perspective of both, not to say that I don t like it written from both perspectives either but sometimes the mystery of who the heroine will end up with is lost as soon as we see things from the man s perspective.Individual ratings The Cost of a Heart by [...]

I really enjoyed reading this collection All the stories were well written and each one had its own charm I was trying to figure out which story was my favorite and I really couldn t because I liked them all However, two of the ones that really kind of got my attention were Too Many Secrets and Love from Afar I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Historical Christian Fiction.I was received a copy of this book from one of the authors in exchange for my honest opinion A positive review w [...]

An awesome collection of nine inspirational, historical novellas I enjoyed each of the stories and found them to be well written I recommend this collection I received an ARC from Netgalley and this is my honest review.

This is a collection of nine novellas with the common theme of a Secret Admirer in each of them This is the perfect read when you don t have a lot of time to spend in one sitting and can complete each story quickly I love the beautiful cover and deckled pages Some of the authors are new to me and others are already favorites This is a great way to be introduced to different writing styles and find new authors to check into The Cost of a Heart by Amanda Barratt This story made me love the charact [...]

Awesome book, totally enjoyed Too Many Secrets by Molly Bull I wished writers would include Christian believers as the characters in books The romance was sweet and the story kept you wishing the two would be together Thank you Molly for and enjoyable read

The Secret Admirer Romance Collection offers a wide variety of historical love stories with predominately western settings One thing each novella has in common is the secret admirer theme but each tale is unique Most of the authors are new to me although I have enjoyed books by Molly Noble Bull and Kathleen Y Barbo in the past.I enjoy collections like this because I have the opportunity to read it from cover to cover or to read one novella at a time when I have just a short time but want to fini [...]
