I recently read Sincerely Yours: A Novella
Collection, which contained historic short stories from Jane Kirkpatrick,
Amanda Cabot, Laurie Alice Eakes, and Ann Shorey. Each of these stories was
great and kept me entertained throughout the entire story. I really liked that
each was about 100 pages. This is the perfect length for me to finish a story
in a day or two. Even though they were so short, I don’t feel like the stories
were rushed, which sometimes happens when an author tries to put too much into
their novella.
A Moonlight Promice is written by Laurie Alice
Eakes, and it takes place on the Hudson River in 1825. When Camilla comes to
America to escape her past, and travels on a steamboat to Albany, she faces
adventure and romance.
Lessons in Love, by Ann Shorey, takes place in
Chicago in 1858, where Merrie is supposed to be finding a husband, not trying
to become a writer. Mistaken identity causes some scheming to take place, as
well as romance to grow between her and the most unlikely suitor.
One Little Word by Amanda Cabot takes place in
Plato Falls NY in 1892. Lorraine goes to her long-lost brother’s inn, leaving
behind the suitors she is not interested in. When she decides to help him while
he is away on his honeymoon, she meets some interesting characters that she
begins to have feelings for.
A Saving Grace by Jane Kirkpatrick is the last
story in the novella, and it takes place in Olalla Washington in 1911. Grace
must work to save her friend who is in a sanatorium, so there is a lot of
mystery throughout this story.
It was nice that the final story was a little
different than the others, but overall, I enjoyed all of them. I cannot wait to
read more books like this in the future.
