Cocktales

I don't usually read anthologies or novellas because I'm never satisfied with short stories, I always want them to be longer. I wanted to read this one though because it meant supporting authors who have been affected by #cockygate and supporting the ongoing fight for authors' rights to creative expression.

As with most anthologies, there were some stories that I really enjoyed and others that I didn't care much for and a few that I skipped entirely because the first few paragraphs didn't pull me in. I'm still counting this as a book read though because this is a big-ass anthology and the stories that I did read I'm sure would make up a regular full-length novel. I'm also giving it 4 stars because even though some of the stories weren't for me, I appreciate that all of these authors were able to come together so quickly and create content for this collection. The way the romance community has banded together to fight #cockygate is inspiring and makes me so happy to be a romance reader.
