Smoky Rooms:

MY THOUGHTS

All three of these stories by different authors merge together into a fantastic collection of romance.  Each character is compelling and easy to relate to.  They all have obstacles in their lives to overcome to move forward with their lives and that alone keeps the pages turning.  With clever writing, interesting characters and three authors who bring their own flavor of romance to life, Life is More Than Candy Hearts deserves to be read anytime, all year long!
