Review: In His Eyes

Goodreads Description:                                                           Available NOW, just in time for Valentines Day, The Indelibles bring you a one-of-a-kind young adult anthology! Sixteen original short stories, all from the point of view of our favorite male characters - some are old flames from our novels and some were dreamed up especially for this anthology.

Let these imminently crushable, swoon-worthy guys show you what romance looks like – in his eyes.

The contributors to IN HIS EYES include award winners, frequent “Top 100” placers, and hot 2011 debut authors

  I LOVED this book!!  I really enjoyed each and every story for different reasons.  Some were because I already knew and loved the characters and others made me want to rush out and purchase the authors book!  I like to pick anthology books because they give you a better idea if you will like an author or not.  I am not saying I base my entire opinion of an author on a single short but it does give me a better idea if I am going to enjoy their writing or not.  There was so much awesome writing I really can't believe this isn't being rushed to print!!

  As the title suggests all of the stories in this book are written from the male POV.  This is great as most of the authors do write from the females point of view.  There is some that write either from both or the males already in here too.  However I like hearing about the encounters that started it all or the moments that made the relationship that bit more from the males POV.   One of these in particular gave me an entire new outlook on the guy.  I didn't dislike him in the actual novel but I didn't like him either... He was simply book candy to me. 

  I wont write a review for each book simply because I know that this would end up being the longest review ever if I did!!  I will just simply assign my normal score out of 5 to each story!

  This book did not disappoint! The authors that I read read previously did not let me down and I liked their shorts just as much if not more than I liked their novels.  The ones that I had not read before (some I will shamefully admit I hadn't heard of before) held up my high expectations of this with absolutely no problem. I would recommend this book to everyone.  It is full of wonderful authors and stories!!!
