I enjoyed reading the ARC copy of Masquerade: Oddly Suited I was given in exchange for my honest review. It's a clean-read, not much beyond a kiss. I'd recommend it to fans of YA romance who like a variety of subgenres. I look forward to reading more from several of these authors.

Oddly Suited by L.G. Keltner
A funny and heartwarming story. Excellent use of showing emotions. There's a nervous young crush that slow burns to the happy ending.

Do you enjoy stories about acting? How about softball or history or many other topics. In MASQUERADE ODDLY SUITED, An Insecure Writer’s Support Group Anthology, you’ll find a little bit of everything.
First, we have Oddly Suited by L.G. Keltner, where we meet five teens that are making a video to find out if it’s true that opposites really attract. It’s interesting what a video and a kiss can do.

Next is Behind the Catcher’s Mask by Jennifer Lane.

This is a great collection of diverse stories that has something for everyone. I laughed out loud, sighed at swoon-worthy moments, sat back and reflected as some of my beliefs were challenged, and gasped at the unexpected twists and turns. A truly delightful anthology by some very talented writers. Pick this up and discover some new authors who will make you want to seek out their other work to add to your TBR.

If you like fantasy and paranormal romance these stories are quick fun reads. Read them while in the doctor office or sitting in the car waiting for your child in front of the school. There is a wide range of story types in the fantasy genre, but all about love and connection. There is a couple set in the historical era, and if you love baseball one for sports fans, there are mermaids, and there is even one that takes place in a virtual world. Fun, lig ...more

Shelves: anthology

One of the coolest things about reading an anthology like this is you can read one story and then put the book down and walk away until... later. No need to stay glued to it and read the whole darned thing straight through to the end like some kind of weird word addict. For normal people, that is. What can I say? I read it all in a single sitting. So sue me. It's a short book.

I won't go into details on any specific story, but suffice it to say, some of them I absolutely loved, and others weren' ...more

Who’s Behind the Mask?

What a diverse mix of young adult romance! This Insecure Writers’ Support Group anthology features ten stories of young love with a masquerade/mask theme, and I’m honored to be included with such talented authors.

Oddly Suited by L.G. Keltner
The title story is full of fun! Who doesn’t love a dating game show featuring a grunting, masked alien as Bachelor #1? The cover is a perfect representation of this crazy pairing.
