The first two novellas are historical and the last (by Gibson) is a contemporary. I didn't make it through the last story, trudged my way through the first, but enjoyed the second quite a bit. Overall, it didn't make for one of my favorites. Having said that, they are novellas as opposed to full length novels, so you get what you get...

This anthology of New Year's Eve celebration stories pairs Regency authors Stephanie Laurens and Victoria Alexander with contemporary author Rachel Gibson, and the collection is a rare treat. The tales begin with Laurens's scandalous Lord Dere as he arrives on Abigail Woolley's doorstep in the midst of a blizzard. Dere and Abigail share a past that neither can forget. They've both gone far too long without love and if propinquity and passion have their way, a blissful future awaits them.

The second in this trio of tales is Victoria Alexander's "The Last Love Letter." Beautiful Rachael Gresham had given all the love in her passionate young heart to handsome Jason Norcross. But treachery and greed tore them apart, their hearts shattered with betrayal and despair. Now fate has brought them together again, the truth at last revealed. Will Rachael and Jason have the courage to put the past behind and reclaim the love that has endured the long years spent apart?

In Rachel Gibson's "Now And Forever," high school friends Brina McConnell and Thomas Mack come together again at a class reunion. They may both have changed for the better on the outside, but inside, they're still as passionately attracted to each other as when they were teenagers. The fire that threatens to scorch them now is very adult, but whether it will last past New Year's Eve is anyone's guess. Whether your personal preference is the charm and wit of Regency England or the sexy appeal of contemporary America, you'll be bowled over with this terrific collection of romantic tales.

A book with Stephanie Laurens cannot possibly be bad. Alexander and Gibson fill this out to make it a book to be read in the first setting. Great book, great people an all night read.

These short stories were really enjoyable. I found it a little awkward with the transition from the two historical romances to the final contemporary romance. All stories had very relatable characters and good dialogue. Not one that I'll read again, but definitely worth the read. :)

I picked up this book to read "Now and Forever" by Rachel Gibson.

Brina McConnell returns to her hometown to attend her ten-year high school reunion. Most people don't even recognize her since she has changed from the skinny girl who wore clothes that her mother sewed for her. One guy who does recognize her is Thomas Mack. Thomas had been Brina's best friend throughout childhood. He had also been her boyfriend until Brina dumped him their senior year for the school's star quarterback. Now Thomas is rich and handsome. He wants to see if Brina will pick him this time instead of the quarterback.

This was a cute friends to lover story. I liked both Brina and Thomas. The story only lasts two days, but it felt like enough since the couple actually fell in love a long time ago. My rating: 4 Stars.
