Book Review: One Hot Summer (The Summer of Us)

I am a huge fan of anthologies, and one that focuses on the summer is obviously going to be great! One of my favorite authors, Melanie Moreland, contributed “The Story of Us” to this anthology. Sunny and Lincoln (Linc) have a sweet romance, even though he has a horrible father and she is from the wrong side of the tracks. Their romance advances during the summer, until all of a sudden, Linc disappears, leaving Sunny bereft. As always, I’m not going to spoil anything, but suffice to say that even this short story is signature Melanie Moreland: it has humor, emotion, a little anguish, and a happy ending. With many of her novels, you can guess the end, but the ride to get there is always entertaining. This review was written based on a complimentary pre-release digital ARC of the book.

Book Review: Paperback Writers Anthology

You can read my Goodreads review below to get an overall feel for the book. I very much enjoyed all of the stories, but, I’m just going to quickly go over a few of my favorites.

The book really started off right. “Don’t Want to Leave Her Now” by Effie Kammenou was touching and heartfelt. The way the author wove the emotion of the song (“Something”) into the story was seamless. The concept of soul mates has always been fascinating to me, and it was explored beautifully in this story.

“Fidelity” by Morgan & Jennifer Locklear was another good one. I am a history buff, so the setting of the establishment of the Berlin Wall was especially interesting (I knew it would be so when I saw the date of the prologue). The dual meaning of the word fidelity, both as it relates to records and sound and faithfulness were intertwined to create the story of loss and hope.

Melanie Moreland is one of my favorite authors, and I was very excited to see that she was included in this anthology. Her “The Taste of You” read like one of her novels, and that made me very happy. I loved how she used the sensuousness of food to introduce the two main characters and special kudos to the hero’s name. Food is poetry and love for Chef Byron Lord; that’s just genius.

The other stories were just as good, but these three stood out to me. There is something for just about every taste in Paperback Writers. Even better, proceeds from the sales will benefit the World Literacy Foundation.

The Beatles, great authors, and contributing to a worthy cause. Go get your copy now!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a wonderful anthology that will make you feel “Glad All Over.” Each of the stories is based on a Beatles song. Some of the authors work lyrics and/or song titles into their stories and some use the lyrics of a song as a theme or the plot. When put “All Together Now,” the result is an extremely diverse and highly entertaining anthology. “Don’t Let Me Down,” please go to my blog at Fireflies and Free Kicks Fiction Reviews to find out which stories I liked the most, then “Run For Your Life” to pick up your own copy! This review was written based on a complimentary pre-release digital ARC. “The End.”
