About this listen
This is an anthology of five short stories put together by a relatively unknown author. But despite her fame, she has managed to collect some of the major elements of what clean romance consists of:
- Sexual tension and flirting without actual sex.
- Humorous and laughable situation.
- Arguments, miscommunication, and fights.
- Feelings, emotions, and thoughts.
- Romantic dates, gestures, and demeanor.
This collection of short stories can be very entertaining, to say the least. Be ready to melt away as you listen to these romantic diaries and stories.

Story
He's a billionaire heir. A grump supreme. Hater of people. Bigger hater of peopling with people. And my new fake boyfriend. "Emotionally unavailable" doesn’t even begin to describe Hayes Rutherford. He has more defenses than a nuclear missile silo. And he’s the ultimate catch of the century. At least, according to his bank statement. My job’s simple: Keep all interested ladies away from the walled-off heir, by pretending to be his one true love. But you know what they say about fake-dating a billionaire: It’s all fun and games, until the scandals start.

Luna is a young woman in her 20s with a spark of innocence, but not without wits and intellect. She also happens to be a witch, a trade that has been passed on through generations.

Her life with her black cat seems to be flawless, and her new gift shop is, however challenging, successful enough for her to make a decent living. But trouble is in the air. During a festive parade, she is pointed towards a dead body by a little girl.

These short stories can make you shiver and sit on the edge of your seat. Some humorous anecdotes and some interesting plot twists are integrated, and the main theme of most of them is zombies. Get ready to hear about murdered victims, girls who interact with ghosts, zombie apocalypse killing sprees, lost tragedies, confused monsters, and creatures from the deep. None of these stories are directly related, which makes it a fun combo to buy, to get more plot material for less money.

Story
I wouldn't say these short stories are steamy hot in a sexual sense, but the romantic scenes are definitely filled with some flirting, sexual tension, and suggestive, humorous comments. As the author tried to keep it all clean to target a specific audience, you'll find that even the most trivial circumstances can create the most interesting and fun love stories. Fighting, miscommunication, awkwardness, and status add to the mixture, as the characters mingle and sometimes remain single.

Aside from the political unrest in many of the stories, extra tension is evident when looked at the complicated buildup of the characters’ character, and their continuous need to develop into something more. These fantasy stories are short but powerful. They heavily focus on complex structures that deal with moral dilemmas in a world of magic, supernatural powers, and unrealistic appearances of creatures that are only fictitious to the unbeliever.

Nice
So these stories aren't very long, but they add up to about 3.5 hours of story telling time. In that sense, I think I got a good deal. I love anthologies like these.
Now about the stories. There is one where everything is just classic. You know, the stuff you always want to see in a romance story: Fight first, have something happen, meet the parents, get married later (spoiler alert). I think the author purposely didn't put a lot of eccentric, new things in there, just to please the crowds. The others had different things, like the one with the clumsy princess. It made me laugh. Typical scenes from movies where they find out (suddenly) that they are of royal descent, but at the same time, they aren't used to the posh manners in such circles. I guess I don't have a lot to say about the other stories, but I enjoyed them thoroughly.
The narrator really got into it. I could tell. It was something he enjoyed doing. He emphasized some things more than others, which helped the atmosphere and tone of the stories.
Overall, recommended for those who want to kick back, relax, and get into the drama and happy endings of a bunch of short romance stories. That's what it is. Nothing less, nothing more.

Awesome
I like short stories like these. I actually don't like stories that are too long anyway, so anthologies like this one are ideal for me.
I loved the author's clean take on things. There is literally no sex, but there is definitely attraction, suggestive things, and some tension between the sexes. Things makes it fun and humorous, but not in the erotica category. On the contrary, even a kid could read these. The author has an interesting take on some things. For example, she keeps referring to certain fantasy creatures in one or two of the stories, which makes it a bit more mysterious but not too crazy.
The narrator was great too, bringing the story to life.

Great stories
Fun! Fun! Fun! And yes, clean romance. Nothing sexually explicit. In fact, if you're looking for that, you will be disapointed. I wasn't, though, because I'm not a pervert. Thanks, Rachel. Keep it up. YOu have a knack for story telling.

Not for me
I thought it would be nice to listen to this book with my mother on a long drive. She likes a sweet, clean romance. We did not enjoy the stories at all. I'd say we stuck with it for 2 1/2 stories and then gave up. The writing is a little odd. Sometimes the word choices simply made no sense.
