My Book Review : For this full book I give it 3.4 out of 5 stars, each story was charming in its own way. I enjoyed the glimpses that we got of all the characters ... just some stories I wish were fleshed out a little more than others. Overall, I definitely recommend this anthology to any romance reader, especially for those who want to get into the "St. Patrick's Day spirit."

Individual Story Reviews :
My Story Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars ... A husband makes a "grand" gesture to his wife and reflects on the day they met.
It's a very sweet quick read. Colin seems to be a nice guy and hopes to make it up for his grouchy behavior by giving his family (mostly his wife) a unexpected gift.
Story Teaser :
That one split-second collision of elbows, a brief exchange over spilt beer, and their lives unfolded in ways they couldn't imagine. ~ within the story as there isn't any chapters

My Story Review : 3 out of 5 stars, this quick read deals with characters from Ms. Hardegree's young adult Ghost Handler Series ... and from what I can tell it is either an excerpt from within Book 6 ("If It Haint Broke") of that series or an additional scene from after Book 6.
It was a cute setup and I enjoyed Heather's spunkiness. However, it felt like it was cut off because it is just a scene and nothing gets resolved. YET it is a wonderful glimpse into the series if you’re looking for a young adult supernatural romance.

My Story Review : 3 out of 5 stars. Sounds like a prologue for Ms. Kayse's Guardian Isle series. In truth, I'm not sure what to make of it but the premise and plotline build-up was very intriguing. It talks about the world of fae yet has a modern feel to it.

My Story Review : 4 out of 5 stars ... Jace, a doctor who has Asperger’s syndrome, tries to understand his relationship with the woman he's been dating named Ellen.
It's a unique contemporary romance scene and I appreciated reading about how this couple came together. Ellen sounds like a very understanding woman and though Jace is very abrupt it seems like he does care a lot. I really thought it was sweet. I definitely recommend it!

My Story Review : 3 out of 5 stars. Set within Ms. Bennett's Bagging a Greek God series, you find out how Mavis meets Lucky.
It was unique and cute. I definitely want to continue on with their story to see where their relationship might go from there. I recommend it if you're a fan of the series.

Story Teaser :
"When you're the gods' gift to women," the bartender—Dion—said, with a wicked grin, "you gotta spread it around."
"I thought that was Adonis," the Irishman answered, and the bartender's smile turned genuine.
"I guess nobody's told you. He's a goner, too. Won't be long till there's just you and me left, to uphold the old honor."
The Irishman grunted.
There was a moment's pause, and then Dion said, "Where are my manners? Mavis, this is Luchtaine. You can call him Lucky. Everyone does. And this is Mavis. She's tired of the green beer and blarney, so don't try to sweet-talk her." ~ within the story as there isn't any chapters

My Story Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! It is St. Patrick's Day and also Megan's birthday. So far she's not having a good day so she goes to the bar she typically hangs out at, drinks more than she typically does in hopes of getting some Irish courage, and tries to "seduce" the hot bartender Jax. But little does she know the seduction isn't needed...
I thought this a cute quick read that makes me really want to read more about this new couple as they seem so good together. Read it!

My Story Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars. Shenanigans ensue when Bennett and Gwen go to pick up a specially leprechaun suit.
It was okay and kinda funny but the relationship felt a bit forced. Read it if your hoping for a lighthearted romance.

My Story Review : 3 out of 5 stars, I thought this was a great beginning to what could be a really good novel. It shows Phyllis that while she can be a strong woman Patrick might be the one man that could be more than just a friend to help out. He might just be the one for her after all this time.
I enjoyed this quick historical-ish romance, and I believe I'd enjoy more about the couple. Be sure to check it out!

My Story Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars ... It all started with a pinch and a little bit of luck. While Rachel is working her shift at the bar, she is so focused about her missing dog that she forgot to wear green for St. Patrick's Day. Yet things change when a hot customer helps her out in more ways than one ...
I enjoyed the build that this quick read had. Plus, it helped that Rachel and Cam's (Cameron) attraction was believable. In the end, I think this has the potential to turn into something great. Check it out!

My Story Review : 4 out of 5 stars. All it took was a chance meeting and some prerecorded American football.
This quick read brings together Kyna and Shane, and boy do sparks fly! Read it!!

My Story Review : 4 out of 5 stars. A hockey player who doesn't believe in luck finds himself having one lucky day.
Paddy (Patrick) and Shayla have an instant connection. It could be fate that brought them together or just two broken shamrock earrings ... who knows ... but I enjoyed what they did with their "bit of luck" that day.

My Story Review : 3 out of 5 stars Kayla lost a bet and the consequences now have her needing to pinch her crush. As her luck would have it, Ethan (her crush) forgot to wear green this St. Patrick's Day. So, her pinch starts everything off into a day that neither could've predicted but will it have a happy ending.
It was cute but I just needed a little more from the characters, as I wasn't completely feeling their connection.
Story Teaser :
"Here." Swallowing nervously and looking cute while doing so, the redhead undid a four-leaf clover pin she wore on her dark green shirt. The color matched her eyes almost perfectly.
She pinned the clover to his lapel. "That should save you from more pinches."
"One should be safe at work from such shenanigans."
"One should." She nodded toward the clover. "Hopefully that will save you from further shenanigans, and if not, maybe it'll bring you some luck for the rest of the day. No harm done."
"I don't think you know your own strength. I may have a limp the rest of the day. You may have to kiss it and make it better."
"Pardon?" ~ within the story as there isn't any chapters

My Story Review : 3 out of 5 stars ... I'm not sure where but this story looks to be a part of Ms. Northcott's The Light Mages Series. It focuses on Brody who is on his way to get drunk as he "honors" a dear friend who has passed. While there, his other close friend, Stacie, tries to be there for him and in the process their true feelings for one another come out. It's an interesting glimpse into Ms. Northcott's world and I'd be interested to read more about this "couple."

My Story Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars. It was all about one guy setting up his two friends who work with the zoo. Ehhh ... It was okay but because it was from "an outsiders" perspective so I didn't see the connection between the couple.

My Story Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars. Mai's friend Katie brought her to a New Orleans parade and she is not enjoying it. Yet once her "bakery boyfriend" arrives things get a hell of a lot better.
I enjoyed this fast-paced read and all the characters involved. Especially when it means seeing a crush turn into something more.

My Story Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars. A St. Patrick's Day birthday celebration gets one girl to finally see if her feelings were being reciprocated by her crush. It's a passionate quick read that had a great build-up IF this was actually going to be longer than I really needed more.

My Story Review : 4 out of 5 stars. Beulah is a piano player who works at a country bar and her mission for St. Patrick's Day is too setup two of the bar's patrons.
It's a cute read that introduces you to Beulah in this quick prequel to Ms. Kilpatrick's "The Happy Hour Choir."

My Story Review : 3 out of 5 stars! A quick thriller-ish read where an almost divorced cop gets a bit sidetracked from his goal by a beautiful woman in a wedding gown. If you’re looking for an intense setup go for this one ... but it feels more like a prologue to a novel more than anything.

My Story Review : 4 out of 5 stars. Alyssa is in the worst situation at her boyfriend's parents’ home, so when her best guy friend gives her an out she takes it. Yet she never expected him to completely win her over for good or take her home.
It's a sweet New Adult setup and I really liked Alyssa and Deaglan. It would be cool if this was a prologue.
