"A Flash of Romance: Seven speedy stories in less than 7,000 words" by Sharon Rene is a fun collection of short stories, each with a dash of romance. There are seven stories covering a wide variety of genres. I really enjoyed this collection and would definitely recommend it to those who love clean romance!
All of the stories are short and beautiful romances. Some of the stories are retellings or inspired by literature; others are based on historical events. The genres range from fantasy to historical fiction and retellings. The historical fiction genre takes us to many different time periods. Ms. Rene even includes mermaids, leprechauns and fairies.
I especially like the “Wuthering Heights” retelling, “Cathy’s Dare”, and Ms. Rene’s alternate ending. The writing is very creative and imaginative. Being a “happily ever after” person myself, I didn’t like the more tragic stories as much. There is also a bit of violence. But overall, I enjoyed this great collection. There is definitely something for everyone in “A Flash of Romance!”
Content: This is a clean read with a PG rating for some minor content. Some examples of the content are: a mention of suicide in one story; mention of alcohol and a man is drunk; someone curses but the word isn’t written; some violence.
Rating: I give this book 3.5 stars.
Genre: Clean Romance; Historical; Fantasy; Short Stories; Fairy tale; Retellings
