This is an amazing anthology full of talented authors. My reviews are for The Kiss Keeper by Krista Sandor and Secret Plunge by Jasmin Miller. I can't wait to read more from this anthology.

The Kiss Keeper by Krista Sandor: This story made me laugh out loud and swoon very hard from page to page. Natalie and Jake met once years ago and they just didn’t know who the other one was because of the kiss keeper tradition at summer camp. The tradition states one boy and one girl meet by the old well blindfolded for their first kiss but they can’t let each other know who they are and they can’t remove their blindfolds, so Jake and Natalie have their first kiss but it wasn’t by the well it was at her cabin door and years later Natalie still thinks she is cursed. Jake had a rough time at life after that summer at camp so he has worked hard to become a wealthy real estate developer and has shut all feelings and making deeper connections off even if after all this time he thinks about that kiss years ago with a girl he doesn’t know. By some serendipitous chance they meet again by strange events that lead them back to where it all started Camp Woolwich. These two have immediate attraction and go through some funny things and slowly start to fall for each other then, the bottom falls out and now Jake has to prove to Natalie he. really is her Kiss Keeper and they belong together. This was super cute, fun to read, and had amazing characters I loved it all.

Secret Plunge:

Harper and Ryan’s story is an epic and beautiful one that we got to see glimpses of them in Fresh Meet as Jace’s friends. I loved every bit of this short story because Ryan is utterly amazing, and Harper is funny, kind, and beautiful. Their story doesn’t have a traditional start because it starts as a one-night stand and things go from there. I loved their banter, the texts, and how sweet Ryan was towards Harper and their situation. This author has a way of pulling readers into the character’s lives and emotions that a reader can feel what they are.… (más)

Logan and Teri were sweethearts when they were younger and a series of tragic events has left Logan placing all the blame on himself. He can’t seem to let go of his past, he never let go of Teri even if he did walk away but his guilt was constantly at the forefront of his mind. Teri has always loved Logan and still does but the pain of constantly seeing him, being near him, but can never truly have him is too much pain for her to bear. She wants to let him go but doesn’t know how yet she can’t keep living in this in between state they are caught in. Logan wants her but doesn’t deem himself worthy of her it is fair how he keeps stringing her along with his back and forth attitude. When things happen to Teri again Logan sees his chance to try and get her back but until he learns to let go of the past there is no way they can move forward. With tragedy, suspense, pain, and everything between Logan and Teri have a lot of things to work through but will the past have a way to always stand in between them and a future?… (más)

3.75 out of 5 stars!

When the heroine takes action against a man who invaded her personal space, the hero steps in. Instant attraction, communication issues, family drama, and external events makes the relationship between the couple fun to read. The feisty schoolteacher has personal issues she battles with whereas the solid police officer has personal grief and the heroine's "walls" to deal with in this story.

I find the characters surrounding the couple were individually capable of standing up for themselves during the story. The couple were given enough descriptions to be the focal point of the book. But my personal preference would be more details added to the story to give me a broader picture of the town, the characters, and the events that happened during this book. However, the book stands up as a solid addition to The Everyday Heroes World Series. I look forward to reading more from both the author and the series.

**Thanks to the author for the review copy.**… (más)

I finished this book at 4 this morning and I am still at a loss for words.
I'm just gonna say, you know it is a good book when it makes you want to throw it a couple of times.
Path to the Key was very well written and flowed so smooth it had me hooked from the very start. It had such an interesting story that you can't help but to be drawn in. Even with it's flaws you wonder "But what is going to happen next?" I mean, this book is a roller coaster that will leave you exhausted at the end. I wouldn't blame you if you just sat there staring off into space after you finish it with the "deer in headlights" look. Goodness knows I did. Haha.

As much as I hate to say it, there were a few things that left me upset.
