Ah, another lovely tale that whisked me away to a land of dance and thrills.

Waltz With Me, Matilda is a great short story by the always lovely Tamsen Parker. Matilda and Sebastian make quite the pair of neighbours, who might just be interested in a little bit more...

He is a writer, and Tilda inspires him. But, she doesn't know that. She has always lusted over him - that neighbour down the hall that helps her out when she has to peace out for days at a time. He's a great friend and is always there to help. Yet, she wants more. When she propositions him, he comes to her dance class and opens up a world of opportunity to her... And there may be a bit of dominance in the bedroom, if ya know what I mean. Which, you better - I made it kind of obvious with that sentence, just saying.

This book is so hot and is the sweetest little gem I've found in a while. It makes me feel all ooey gooey and was just the right amount of Tamsen Parker to remind me how much I love her writing, while I wait for her next book. It's like Christmas in July for me over here!

Five out of five stars. ( )

Wonderful collection of stories from some of my favorite authors. I discovered a few new authors to read soon. The stories all set different and delightful. I wanted more from several of them and was sad that they ended. I hope the authors continue them. On the other ones that I was familiar with, it was nice to see previous characters get additional extended screen time.

I highly recommend this book as not only is it good but supports two amazing organizations that desperately need the help. ( )

I totally recommend this book. It has a lot of my favorite authors in it: Melanie Moreland, Penny Reid, Noelle Adams, Emma Hart... oh so many! ( )

Holy Moly! This book is like 800+ pages! I wanted to dive into some of my favorites and maybe a few new-to-me authors. I loved that most of the authors' incorporated something 'Australia' in their story. Here are short thoughts on my favorites:

Stitches by Melanie Moreland
I love Melanie's storytelling. So hearing through her reader group we were going to be graced with little girl/single mom, I was excited. She did not disappoint in this meet-cute story. I'm thinking the stuff Koala hid out on purpose to make it happen. Once again, Melanie is a master at giving you a short complete story you feel good about.

Shopping for More by Julia Kent
Okay seeing this was going to be more Declan and Shannon... COUNT ME IN! I love these two. And seeing them overcome traveling CEO and facetime with a toddler. Loved LOVED this look at these two again. Ms Kent tapped into the current events to weave in the anthology's theme.

One Wild Ride by Chelle Bliss
The Gallos are my favorites from Chelle and can't get enough. Growly men on motorcycles and sassy pants heroines. I giggle-snorted when her 'head nod' to the theme came. Only she can create a Koala you'd want to climb like a tree.

I'll add more thoughts on the stories I enjoyed as I have time to read because of 800 PAGES! 100% of proceeds are going to charity. I am sure you'll find something you love about this collection too! ( )
