    Absolutely loved these stories of reunited love, heartbreak,and happy endings. Especially enjoyed C.L. Cannon's 11th Hour about best friends that find their way to love, and the fantasy elements of Scarborough Fair by Sarah Burhman. No matter what genre you prefer, each of these stories will really hit home with anyone who has love, lost, and finally found happiness. Looking forward to more from these authors and this publisher!

    I received a complimentary reader's copy from Facebook's "Quill and Ink review team" in exchange for my honest review.

    In general, this summer romance anthology wasn't terrible, nor excellent; for the price, if you're looking for something to pass the time, you could do far worse. Some of them left a great deal to be desired, some were wonderfully written and I lost myself in delight, and some, I had distinctly conflicted feelings about.

    Amongst my favorites were the story by Diane Morrison (man oh man, I wished that were a full-length novel -- I'd buy it without hesitation!) and C.L. Cannon (high school crush through life, standing by his dream-girl in hopes that she'll finally un-friendzone-him), and (with a caveat) Janae Keyes. I'll get into that below.

    I'd like to talk about the stories that left me conflicted.

    The story by Rebekah Dodson is about a married professor teacher (whose husband is away at war) falling in love with her student, and their summertime affair. The story in and off itself not bad, but it's very clear that the affair is an "awakening" more relevant to the professor than of true love. The ending was "the right one," in light of that fact, but I will nit-pick here that the story is written in the 1st-person past-tense so that the readers don't "feel" the agony of indecision - it is a fate already decided. Therefore, all the foot-notes ("If I had only known," and so forth) seemed a bit unnecessary. I also couldn't help but feel like the main character made the right choice for the wrong reasons: her ultimate choice wasn't one of personal independence, but out of resignation because she prized others above herself. This is "wrong" to the storyline and character persona that led her to begin the affair in the first place. Ergo, it left me feeling unfulfilled.

    (SPOILER - skip to next paragraph if wanted). Janae Keyes' story, however, made me passionately hopeful and angry. It is the opposite: first-person, present-day, very relevant, cute. Clear writing style, great dialogue, descriptions, character growth. I had happily let myself be swept away in the thrill of reading about a woman who was going to get divorced for the right reasons, seize a life of self-worth and happiness for herself and her daughter, and be brave. Inspired to do so by her lover, on the eve of her Departure, her "happy ending" vanishes in a stroke of miserably bad luck. After she processes this, what does she do? She returns to the *exact* same scenario that she began in, clutching desperately to the hope that her husband truly meant that he would change. This is textbook "the wrong decision for the right reasons," and it grated upon me like no other. The right decision might have been for her to leave anyway, buoyed by self-confidence and courage, or to perhaps give her husband a chance to date her as from the start. Her decision to sink back into the status quo without so much as a protest or conditional warning was repulsive to me from the core. So, I have mixed feelings.

    The story by Deliaria Davis is, in some ways, the complete opposite of the above two. I don't think the writing style, character development, and setting were the best. In fact, I almost dismissed it as one of the aforementioned "not great," if not for one thing: the concept. The concept is that real life can be messy, painted in shades of gray, full of mistakes and imperfect people - and yet, sometimes two people can make something beautiful out of what is broken, and the strongest families can develop from dubious beginnings. I REALLY liked that message. I suppose my biggest complaint is that the reader is told the story through snapshots of the main character's diary. I understand that a diary is a place to write down secret feelings and desires that may not be the most noble of things, but I feel like it did the main character a disservice. The black sheep of the family, she never seemed to mature, discard her selfishness and petulance, or develop a sense of moderation. Then, all of a sudden, poof! The last entry is dedicated intentionally to another character, and it is revealed to the reader that her family is strong, happy, healthy, etc. I really wish Davis had been able to take a step back from the real-life story, and taken an editing eye to select "true sections" a little more strategically to demonstrate that her character has become the woman who fought for that happy ending. The best stories are ones based on the truth; but more than that, the truth must be conveyed well.

    Hope that helps with your purchase! Cheers to all.

    Chasing Fireflies: A Summer Romance Anthology

    "Chasing Fireflies" is a truly heartwarming and captivating summer romance anthology from a group of inspiring authors. With nine stories each with their own version on love, this anthology is sure to heat up your summer. Whether looking for a short read, or wanting to get to know the writing style of new authors, or just because you love anthologies, "Chasing Fireflies" is a MUST read. It will resonate with readers far past the end story.

    "Chasing Fireflies" stands out in the genre of sort stories/anthologies for many reasons including:
    * It encompasses nine very different stories from nine very different authors. With variety being the spice of life, this anthology ticks all the boxes for a diverse collection. A create and eclectic composition.
    * Summer romance is captured in all its shapes and sizes, from new love, second chance love, to love between aliens and much more. These reads will never get dull.
    * The nine authors that have banded together to bring this summer romance anthology are all very different and write under many varied genres. This is one reason this book remains entertaining through out. Making it nine great new authors to add to my reading list.

    I hope to read more stories from the very inspirational authors who wrote a story in the romance anthology "Chasing Fireflies". I recommend this anthology to all lovers of romance looking to heat up their summer and embrace some talented authors.

    I reviewed this voluntarily from a free copy.

    With so many differing authors this is really hard to review comprehensively.

    There's a good mix of male and female authors across a few romance genres.
    But therein lies the problem too. Some stories were better edited than others.
    And I didn't feel a common thread bringing them all together.
    I appreciate the theme is supposed to be 'summer love', but I didn't feel that in all the stories. It was more a lot of summer flings.

    There are several stories about affairs, and some of the stories touch on abuse. It's quite a heady mix.

    Don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed some of these stories, and was left wanting more.
    I don't want this review to sound negative. It just lacked...something.

    Eye of the Storm by Diane Morrison stood out for me. I liked the elf/orc dynamic.

    And The Doctor and the Demon by Jay Michael Wright II drew me into a wonderfully mystical world. I definitely felt this story wanted a whole book.

    The 11th Hour by CL Cannon was beautifully told.

    There were things I liked about them all in their own right, actually.
    I'm just not convinced they all belong together in the same book as short stories.

    The title 'Chasing Fireflies' itself really only applies to one of the tales.

    This is of course, just my own humble opinion.

    In summary; an eclectic mix.
    There's some good stories, and some which could do with more editing.
