"...this was one of the most
romantic things I've ever read! I loved all
of the little details that Mike remembered
to make their anniversary special!" Bookbee at Goodreads |

"I had tears in my eyes at the end - totally
loved it! Two big cuddly teddy bears and one
extremely romantic getaway to celebrate an
important milestone made for a fantastic
story. I was completely wrapped up in
everything Eddie was feeling - the
descriptions were very vivid... Awesome
and amazing." Wendy at Goodreads |

"One of the sweetest, most
romantic short stories I've had the pleasure
to read. Sloan Parker's writing style is as
great as ever, the characters well rounded,
the locations and descriptions sucked me in,
the feelings, emotions, the triumphs and
troubles of a long-term relationship nicely
and skillfully explored." Alyosha at Goodreads |
