Concerned that technology is about to chase mythological creatures out into the open (how long can Sasquatch stay hidden from Google maps?), the League for Interspecies Cooperation is sending Jillian to Louisiana on a fact-finding mission. While the League hopes to hold on to secrecy for a little bit longer, they're preparing for the worst in terms of human reactions. They need a plan, so they look to Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where humans and supernatural residents have been living in harmony for generations.

Story
"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

Stuck with Alan's ghost following her around, Bree is in hot water now with no easy way out as she's been framed for his murder and plunked in the local pokey. If that weren't bad enough, Gran's ghost has been kidnapped, and all clues point to the Big Easy - New Orleans. With the police on her never-mind-the-size butt, two men vying for her attentions, and a mystery wrapped around the murder of her Gran and ex, she has more than enough to keep her stressed and turning prematurely gray.

Shadowvale isn’t typical small-town America. The sun never shines, the gates decide who enters, magic abounds, and every resident bears some kind of curse. No one knows this as well as raven shifter Deacon Evermore, who, like everyone in his family, has a curse. While his position as Shadowvale’s peacekeeper lets him use that curse for good, he’d rather live anywhere else. He stays for his family but doubts he can last much longer.

Summary
Escape with three warm-hearted romantic comedy novellas about women’s second chances at first love from beloved romance authors Suzanne Enoch, Molly Harper, and Karen Hawkins.
Take Two by Suzanne Enoch
Eleanor Ross has it all: Fame, fortune - and Brian MacCafferty, the perfect combo of bodyguard and assistant who makes every day a breeze. MacCafferty anticipates her needs, puts out her fires, and - once upon a time - nearly put a ring on her finger.
And when a scandal erupts that could ruin El, it’s Brian who rushes to the rescue and joins her in hiding. Will El discover there’s no hiding from true love? And is she finally ready to take a second chance for her own, real life happily-ever-after?
Pasties and Poor Decisions by Molly Harper
Anastasia Villiers has hit rock bottom. And that rock is named Espoir Island.
Abandoned by her disgraced investment banker husband who liquidated all of their assets and fled the country, Anastasia is left with nothing - except for Fishscale House, a broken-down Queen Anne in the Michigan hometown she swore she’d left for good.
If Ana quickly renovates and flips the dilapidated building, she can get back to Manhattan and salvage her life. The problem? The only person on the island with historical renovation cred is Ned Fitzroy - Ana’s first love - who insists she help him with the labor herself. As Ana gets reacquainted with Ned, and her hometown, she realizes home may be just what she’s always wanted.
Last Chance Motel by Karen Hawkins
Every big romance deserves a second chance. But Evan and Jessica Cho Graham are looking at the last chance: More specifically, The Last Chance Motel in Dove Pond, NC where Jessica has escaped to start a happily independent life, separate from her smart, sexy, but driven husband.
Evan has been wildly successful in every endeavor, except keeping the heart of the one woman he loves more than anything. If he’s going to repair this mess, he’s going to need all the help he can get - even if it's from the crankiest handyman in B&B history - to turn his second chance with Jess into a perfect storybook happy ending.

Three stories about first love and second chances.
Three stories of first love and second chances. I really enjoy all three stories. In Take Two, Eleanor and Brian had called it quits, but he is still working for her. He makes her life so much easier and when a scandal breaks, he saves her career. Can he convince her that she belongs with him? In Pasties and Poor Decisions, Ana ran away from her life on Espoir Island and left Ned with a broken heart. Now she is coming home after a failed marriage and her reception isn't very warm. Is she just there to sell the home her ex bought her or will she stay. Ned needs to know. In Last Chance Motel, Jess still loves Evan, but she won't be second in his life. He is so caught up in business, that he neglected everything else, including Jess. Evan wants her back and is willing to do anything to get her to change her mind. He gets a little help from an old guy who has been through the same thing. Can Evan step up and change things?

For People Who Love Second Chances
These three short stories manage to do what whole books manage not to do, give you a complete story. I was drawn to this book by Molly Harper and Amanda Ronconi, one of my favorite authors and narrators. But all three stories were heartwarming a little exasperating and charming. In Suzanne Enoch's Take Two, MacCafferty was a bit of a door mat for 4 years but I liked it when he finally stood up for himself, better late than never. Eleanor was kinda of a b until MacCafferty forced her to be a grown-up. In Molly Haper's Pasties and Poor Decisions, the roosters came home to roost as the saying goes. Ana lost herself and everything else after she decided that she was the only person who mattered in her life. Leaving behind all the people who truly cared about her. Ned was a great guy but hard of hearing and only hurt himself when he didn't listen or pay attention when Ana told him her plans and he just brushed her wishes aside. But coming home again everything is worked out by listening. I wish their were more consequences for Ana's daughters and her ex-husband but all's well that ends well and Ana got everything she needed and more. In Karen Hawkins' Last Chance Motel a husband learns his lesson and two other wordly's give him a push in the right direction. To be fair it wasn't all Evan's fault. Jessica stopped speaking up for herself and their marriage and no matter what your face telegraphy's no one can read your mind so you must tell them what you're feeling and thinking. If you don't you can't then blame them for your life ending up in a place you never intended for it to go. With a little help they got back on track. These were great stories and Amanda Ronconi was excellent in her narration. I love second chance stories. It's always nice to read when people get a do-over because there are so few of those in real life.

Surprisingly great
This review may be a little long the performance was excellent as anything I’ve heard with Amanda Ronconi. No I don’t tend to buy anthologies very often unless they have an author in them that I already really enjoy then I am usually happy with the story done by the author I already know and very rarely buy one of the other authors but this was amazing I actually really enjoyed the stories by all three authors they were excellent even though they were separate stories the theme tied in well And I love the idea of redemption in love I hope you enjoy it as much as I did I do not believe you work at this purchase

Cute Stories with they were longer
Amanda Ronconi is one of my favorite narrators, and she knows how to make the characters come alive. You can never go wrong with her if it's a small town story that has quirky characters. Now that is out of the way, time to dive into the stories. Take Two by Suzanne Enoch We have Eleanor Ross and Brian MacCafferty in this story. They use to have a relationship, and now they have a working one. Okay, not really. This story was adorable, and a quick listen. They had a lot to work on to repair all aspects of their lives. It's nice little pick me up story. Pasties and Poor Decisions by Molly Harper We have Anastasia Villers and Ned Fitzroy. In this story Anastasia hits rock bottom, and needs to come crawling home. She never thought that her coming would be a welcoming one, but it wasn't what she expected. Ned and Anastasia use to have a relationship until she ghosted him. Need some patching up with these. Honestly, this story could have been a full on novel, because there's potential to make it longer. However, it was a cute listen. Last Chance Motel by Karen Hawkins This was a super cute story. We have Evan and Jessica Graham. They have an extremely rocky relationship. It was so bad that Jessica left Evan and sent him divorce papers. Evan tries to win back Jessica, but has an uphill battle. Overall, it was a cute story. Overall, these stories were cute. They all could have been made the stories a full fledge novels, but it was good to have something quick to listen. Also, they were heart-warming, and gave fuzzy feelings at the end. Copy provided by author via Audiobook

Not a true midwestern accent
This review is just for book 2 by Harper. Love everything I have ever read by Harper. But ronconis midwestern accent is very wrong . As a native Michiganian who spent a lot of time on mackinac island growing up, the midwestern accent is more like the accent of the Anna character actually, and the weird “midwestern accent “ adopted by the islanders is more like some weird regional East coast accent (I have spent much time on east coast too). I have never in all my life heard a midwestern accent like in the book. Factual fallacy. But good story and character development as usual with Harper and good narration by ronconi besides.

I Loved You First
I just loved these three stories, well written. I just love anything with Molly Harper, but now I'm introduced to two other authors. Everything Amanda Ronconi narrates sounds excellent, she could probably read the dictionary and I would listen to it. I would highly recommend these anthology.
