Once and Forever

This was a great collection. None of the stories were the 'usual'.  I will admit that I read this a while ago and am just now getting to the review, but one glance at the synopsis brought it all back. 
Playing for Keeps by Mary Blayney
This was a fine story, it was a bit fast in places which made it a bit muddy in my head as to what was going on.  This is for sure a story that I think would be better as a longer story, to fill in some of the blanks. You know that Kendall is trying to get an autograph for her sick sister, but then nothing really happens there.
The Princess & the Pinot by Elaine Fox
This one really tore at my heart. I really do love it when I read a book and my heart breaks for the characters. Kim is in love with Cooper, but doesn't know what to do about it, and doesn't want to change things and is intent on letting him go even if it is the last thing that she wants to do.  The whole allusion to the Princess and the Pea was quite entertaining. 
Duets by Emelle Gamble
Of all the stories, this is the one that just didn't quite stick in my mind. I found it regrettably forgettable. I know I read it, and didn't hate it- so that is all I can really say here. 
Never and Forever by Lavinia Kent
This was my favorite of this collection. I loved the twist that while Molly was a member of the Ton she didn't feel like a week of being an Earl's daughter was long enough for her to change all of herself for.   I loved the Duke, he wasn't nearly as stuck up as you would have thought and I am so happy that he supported Molly and her agency.
The Psychic Detective by Evie Owens   
I liked this one, the whole ghost aspect wasn't my favorite, but it works. Martin and Erin are interesting, but again I think if this were a bit longer, it would be even better.
