Loved this collection of short stories. They were all set in an additional lifetime to the ones Luce visited in Passion, but written from different POVs.

Love Where You Least Expect It (Shelby + Miles)
The Valentine of Roland (Roland + Rosaline)
Burning Love (Arriane + Tessriel)
Endless Love (Daniel + Luce)

*2.5 Stars*
This was really cute. I did really love to read about Cam, Roland & Arriane's love stories, though all three of them broke my heart. But I am quite happy for Miles and Shelby, they are really adorable together. I guess the reason why despite all of that I couldn't give it 3 stars is that it was still very monotonous. Especially when it came to Luce's Valentine's story, I didn't like it. If her part wasn't in it, it could've been 3, but it made the last few chapters very boring so 2.5 it is. Also, I really loved what Miley & Shelby did for Luce & Daniel.

This was super cute and my favorite story was DEFINITELY Shelby and Mile's. As I read this after completing the series, it was awesome not having to say goodbye to the characters immediately. Quite a few of the stories were tragic and some of Taylor Swift songs come to mind however, this book allows some of the side characters to have their moment. ONE THING! Where was Cam's story?!?!? I was so excited to see some more of him but... life sometimes does these things to you. (First world problem.) Overall I would give it a 3.5 stars but 3 was what's available so yep. Such a bittersweet romance *sigh*.

Was this book necessary? Not at all. Was it confusing? Definitely at points. Was it beautiful and still worth the read? Absolutely. I liked this book okay. I just felt like it was just there for more length and money, and it wasn't any vital information to the story. However, I still enjoyed the backstories of the characters, especially Arriane, and finding out even more. And, for its length, it did drag a bit at points. Overall, I left this one just wanting more.
*SOMETIMES LOVE NEEDED A LIFT FROM ITS GUARDIAN ANGELS, TO GET ITS FEET OFF THE GROUND. BUT ONCE IT MADE ITS FIRST EARLY BEATS TOWARD FLIGHT, IT HAD TO BE TRUSTED TO TAKE WING ON ITS OWN AND SOAR PAST THE HIGHEST CONCEIVABLE HEIGHTS, INTO THE HEAVENS AND BEYOND.
* I'm not positive if this is the last line, but I believe it is. I returned the book to the library before I wrote this. Oops.

These short stories are just too cute! I love how the author focused the other relationships and not just Luce and Daniels relationship.
