An anthology of original stories inspired by the music of The Beatles. Universal. Romantic. Experimental. Timeless. Emotional. Fearless. Eleven short stories that all share a chord. All proceeds will benefit the World Literacy Foundation, a global non-profit organization working to ensure that every young individual regardless of geographic location has the opportunity to acquire literacy and reading skills to reach their full potential. Foreword by Sylvain Reynard. 4 Heart Review by Ashley Two things I love- books (obviously) and The Beatles. So when I saw that this anthology was coming, with stories inspired by the Fab Four, I knew I had to read it. And what a delight it was. Now while I haven't read all of the stories within yet, the ones I did were good and left me wanting more! ****** Venture Capital by Kris Babe What a sad and melancholy little story. My heart just hurt for Lori and her company. I loved the snippets of the fun, vibrant place it was. What a mess it turned into when too many big shots got in the way. Despite the downward spiral Lori never lost the tune that was in her heart. Fidelity by Morgan & Jennifer Locklear Talk about heart wrenching. This short story really pulled at my emotions. I was transported back in time and I was so uncomfortable. I can't even imagine living through what Kurt and Sophie did. The constant fear and worry. The unknown. A little mystery. A lot of danger. And even more love. A timeless love that circumstance and distance couldn't change. The lengths Kurt went to for Sophie blew my mind and melted my heart. I only wish this had been longer because there was a lot jam packed into a few short chapters and there were things I wanted to know the answer to. Covert Assignment by Aubree Valentine I liked the premise behind this book. A rising star in need of security, the man sent to protect her...Even forced into a less than ideal situation, they were able to stay level headed and calm. Let me just say Cody and Stacey Mae had chemistry in spades. I wish they had acted on it because I could cut that tension with a spoon. I will say that I found the way this one ended was a bit abrupt. I feel like the big dilemma was building to something and then- whoop- over. Oh well. ****** I can't wait to dive back into this fun and heartfelt anthology and then put my Beatles albums on.
