L is For is an outstanding anthology; I didn't skip a single selection which almost never happens when I read a short story collection.

I discovered authors "new" to me and would highly recommend Angela Peach, Karen Campbell and Andrea Bramshall. (Kiki Archer is already a favorite and her contribution is very funny.) This collection is definitely a must!

There's lots of lovely writing and the distinct British feel it has both warms my heart and tickles my funny bones, depending on the title. Every story is a keeper, but I do have some absolute favorites:

"Alana Molton-Croft And Me" by Kiki Archer is rip-roaring funny, clever and a delight to read! :)

"Looking For Princess Charming" by Deborah Underwood: It's a very true to life look at what many singles know can be a horrid dating scene, with a lovely ending.

"Cloud Hearts" by Angela Peach: This is one of the sweetest stories I've ever read, anywhere. I teared up a few times.

"Feels Like Home" by Sarah Bolger is aptly titled and adorably sweet, especially as the two main characters discover what's been right under their noses the whole time.

"The Butterfly Collector" by Karen Campbell is touching and sad, yet ultimately uplifting.

"Just The Way You Are" by Andrea Bramhall: After reading this, I definitely want to check out more fiction by this writer. It has a slow build which is always nice in romantic fiction.

I could go on and on about L Is For, but I won't. Instead, I'll just add this: buy yourself a copy right away and start reading! :) Proceeds go to charity! ( )
