4.0 out of 5 stars Fab collection of short stories 30 Sep 2012
By Sharon TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Perfect Treat from Avon is a fabulous collection of short stories by some of their authors, Miranda Dickinson, Claudia Carroll, Julia Williams as well as two debut authors, Liz Trenow and Mhairi McFarlane.

The five stories cover topics such as first love, heartbreak and how love can get a second chance; a cautionary tale reminding us to be careful what we wish for as you might not like what you get; family/work commitments getting in the way of a first married Christmas together; a moving story about hope following a tragic accident; and a hilarious take on the festive season.

As well as the short stories each of the authors has provided an exclusive extract of their new books to tempt you. If you've got a busy lifestyle, this short story collection is perfect for you as you can read a story at a time whenever you have a spare 5/10 minutes to read and relax and what's more it's absolutely free so make sure you download your copy today.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quick reading 29 Sep 2012
By C. Colley TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book contains a variety of short stories by five different authors and each story is followed by an extract of each of the authors latest or upcoming novels.
I've discovered that I enjoy short stories more if I don't read too many together. This book was ideal for when I had a few minutes to spare and each story/extract was read and enjoyed separately. Reading too many together can lead to characters and plots becoming a bit of a blur.
Most of the stories are reasonable to good reads. The first three stories/extracts are by authors I recognise and it's nice to see a couple of debut authors added in the collection too. Christmas is one of the themes in the collection so it's a very suitable winter read.
This is a free book and definitely worth a look. It's great for when you fancy a bit of quick reading and for getting a taste of different authors work.

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a perfect treat in bite sizes for book lovers and non readers alike. The short stories from fantastic authors to make you swoon, ahhh and ohhh. It is a perfect book for people that find books overwhelming or only like to read bite size chunks. Each story takes the reader on a different journey and each author also shares an extract from their latest book.
I was lucky and found this on my kindle, not sure where it came from or when, but i am glad i found it and one thing is for sure.... it certainly is a perfect treat
