Review

Lee Blair is so good a sweet, fun, and plenty of good banter. Here you get four short stories full of all those things.

I’m especially taken with her Dahlia Springs world, so I really loved the ones that brought me back there.

From fate throwing them in each other's path, to nerd/jock pairing who just click, to bonding over crocheted memories, to ending with shooting your shot in the most awkward situation.

Each one was really fun to read, and I loved each of the pairings. So if you are looking for some short reads to make you smile and swoon, you should grab this one. No prior reading necessary.

Synopsis

Escape into a collection of four low-angst, queer romance novellas—each featuring a memorable meet-cute full of fun and feels.

Each story is a complete and standalone romance. This bundle comes in at 70,000 words, which equals a full novel. The first three stories are set in Lee Blair’s Dahlia Springs universe.

The novellas included in this bundle:

It Must Be Fate: The last thing Garrison expects is a knock on his door by someone wearing a broken heart costume who begins belting a break-up song—on Valentine’s Day of all days—in front of his coworkers. He’s not even dating anyone, so who supposedly got dumped? He can’t get the cutie with the beautiful pipes out of his mind, and like Garrison conjured him, he keeps showing up in the most awkward places making Garrison’s heart beat faster.

Pipe Dreams: Myles expects a fun night hosting a Dungeons and Dragons game night with his friends, but a plumbing emergency and unresponsive landlord have the night tanking fast. One of his friends suggests searching for a plumber on a dating app, and among a sea of unsolicited dick pics, Myles finds a man with a charming smile and the tools to save the day and steal his heart.

Under My Skein: When Heath learns of an organization that pairs skilled crafters with people needing help completing their deceased loved ones' unfinished projects, he signs up hoping to get his late uncle’s crocheted afghan finished. He gets matched with a local guy who knows how to hook some yarn and a willingness to finish the project. And in the process, he gives Heath a glimpse at a wonderful future he never dared to envision.

The Roommate Mix-Up: When the bubbly server at brunch flirts with Pablo, he flirts right back—and why not? It’s Pride! He leaves his number on the receipt, and witty texts lead to a case of mistaken identity. It all works out, but not at all in the way Pablo expected.

These novellas previously appeared in charity anthologies. Read full descriptions of each story at LeeBlairBooks.com/books.
