This set of novellas was darling... and just what I needed in between books. I rated each story separately and averaged the ratings to give the book a 4 star rating!
Worst Wingman Ever by Abby Jimenez - 5 Stars. Abby can do no wrong! -- this story was so heartfelt, despite how short it was. I adored it!
The Exception to the Rule by Christina Lauren - 4.25 stars. Another very cute story. I loved it.
Rosie and the Dreamboat by Sally Thorne - 3 stars. This one I enjoyed but it did nothing out of the ordinary for me.
Drop, Cover, and Hold On by Jasmine Guillory - 4 stars. First time I am reading anything by this author but she is on my TBR. I really liked this story. It was so cute.. had a little bit of heat and was endearing!
With Any Luck by Ashley Poston - 4 stars. This story was super cute. Anything Ashley Poston writes is so sweet!
Royal Valentine by Sariah Wilson - 3 stars. This one was just OK for me. I dont know why this one did not hit the mark for me.

These were the absolute cutest novella’s perfect for Valentine’s Day that were all filled with adorable meet cute situations!
Overall, what I really wanted was for Christina Lauren’s and Abby Jimenez’s stories to be full length, they were just that good and that adorable!
All of these novella’s are under 100 pages with NO THIRD ACT BREAK UPS IN ANY OF THEM plus some witty banter! 👏🏼
I 100000% recommend this series especially with Valentine’s Day right around the corner or if you’re just looking for some quick reads! 💯

I was so excited to receive an E-ARC for this collection of short stories from some of my favorite authors. Unfortunately most of them ended up reading like a high school creative writing prompt, but overall they are fun, quick stories of finding love on Valentine’s Day. Available for free on Kindle Unlimited!

I just loved this collection of short stories. It was fun to read some from my favorites and new to me authors as well. A nice sampling of some fun reads!

Whenever there are multiple stories in one collection I find it a bit difficult to rate, but I gave five stars to my favorite from the collection, The Exception to the Rule by Christina Lauren. For the rest of the collection I gave two four stars, and three two star ratings, so overall I'll give this collection a 3, but this was a fun collection and idea for Valentine's Day.

Writing a novella with a fleshed out story and realistic multi-dimensional characters is a tall order, but these authors managed to do it. I really enjoyed this one, and I love that I got introduced to some new to me authors through these short stories!

This was such a cute collection of stories. I especially loved The Exception to the Rule. This was not only a great Valentines Day read but a great read any time.

The Improbable Meet Cute is a collection of six short stories by some of the best current romance authors. Christina Lauren, Abby Jimenez, and Ashley Poston are three of my favorite authors, so I was thrilled to see them included in this collection.
Each story was unique and delightful to read. This collection was perfect for February, as the rom-com fit the Valentine’s vibe. It was a busy month, so it was great that each story was short enough to be read in a single sitting.
While I had some standout favorites (The Exception to the Rule and Worst Wingman Ever), I enjoyed all six stories. I've heard of all of the authors but hadn't yet read anything by three of them, so this was a great way to sample their work. The whole collection would be great for someone who wants to dip their toes into the romance genre or a new author without committing to a full-length novel.

This was such a great collection of novelas by some of the best Ron-com authors out there. I loved reading these short stories quickly and moving right on to the next. They all did great with character development and storylines. Each story was short and sweet.

This was the cutest collection of rom-coms and perfect for Valentine's Day! As usual with anthologies, some I liked more than others, but there wasn't a bad story in the bunch! My favorite stories were those by Christina Lauren and Abby Jimenez!

This collection of six short stories written by some of the most popular romance authors was the absolute perfect Valentine's Day read. My favorites from the collection were The Exception to the Rule (5 stars) and Worst Wingman Ever (4.5 stars). Each story was unique and enjoyable, and this was one of the best short story collections I've ever read!
4 stars overall
Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Original Stories for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!

A really cute collection of short stories by some really amazing authors!
As with any collection, I enjoyed some stories more than others but they were all cute. Quick and interesting reads!

These were so cute! I will write a short review for each in order of how liked them below :)
1. The Worst Wingman Ever - so sad but so amazing! I wish there was a full book on this one <3
2. The Exception to the Rule - loved this one and the multi media aspect! Super cute and loved the ending
3. With Any Luck - This one was super fun but I didn't believe the romance unfortunately
4. Royal Valentine - this one was a really fun plot and I loved the twist at the end
5. Rosie and the Dreamboat.- the plot was a bit ridiculous but I enjoyed it either way
6. Drop Cover and Hold On - steamy for SURE but I didn't care for either character and found it to be a bit forced

This was such a sweet book! I loved the characters, and their love story. The dialogue was realistic and enjoyable.

A fantastic compilation of multiple female authors, I really enjoyed this, I am normally not a fan of compilations, but this exceeded my expectations. My favorite was Abby's!

Review for The Exception to the Rule:
This novella was super cute and a very fast read. It’s part of the “meet cute” collection of books. I decided to read each novella separately and rate and review them that way rather than tackle the entire short story collection at once.
I can relate to this particular “meet cute”! My husband and I met by chance online and talked for four entire years before deciding in person. Sure, these characters went for 10 years of online only communication but they were only 14 and 16 when they started emailing.
An accidental email sent on Valentine’s Day results in “T” and “C” meeting online. A year passes and they check in with each other again on Valentine’s Day. This begins a new tradition, every year they check in only on Valentine’s Day.
Their lives change a lot through the years. They change schools and the dynamics of their families change. But their valentines tradition remains.
I thought this was a sweet, cute read and I liked the characters. I enjoyed the epistolary portion of the book the most but that was definitely the majority of the story. I’m amazed that the authors could make me care so much about these characters so quickly!
I got an early ebook edition of this book of novellas from NetGalley. I plan to read and review each novella separately.

5 stars: The Exception to the Rule by Christina Lauren was adorable! I didn’t think I could like a short story so much. Callum and Terra’s story was cute.
4 stars: The Worst Wingman Ever by Abby Jimenez was a cute story but had an abrupt ending. I could have read a longer story about these characters for sure.
2.5 stars: Rosie and the Dreamboat had some moments where the dialogue was a little weird. This was not my favorite short story, but my first time reading anything by Sally Thorne.
2 stars: Drop Cover and Hold On escalated quickly. Guy glares at girl. Girl loves his pastries so can’t stay away. Earthquake makes them profess their love. They go upstairs and end up in his bed. This was my first time reading something by Jasmine Guillory as well.
4 stars: With Any Luck had me smiling pretty much the entire time reading this short story. Loved it. This was my first time reading something by Ashley Poston, but I will seek out more of her works now.
4 stars: Royal Valentine was super cute! My first read by Sariah Wilson, but I will definitely be looking into her series about the royal family because this short story was not enough! (The downside to this short story: the Scottish accent was way overdone.)
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for the ARC.

Overall I loved this collection of sweet stories. My favorite was by far the Christina Lauren story.

These rom coms were exactly what I needed for the ‘Love is in the Air’ season! I really enjoyed each story, but my favorites have to be the Christina Lauren story, the one by Abby Jimenez and Sariah Wilson’s! Worst Wingman Ever hit me in all the feels and I can never pass up a good Royal love story! Overall, a huge win for Valentine’s reads from this hopelessly single girl.

This was so good! I’m not usually a fan of short stories, but I love several of these authors! Abby Jimenez and Christina Lauren’s were my favorite, but they were all good! Love!
