Review:
Smoky Rooms is the second story in Life is More Than Candy Hearts. This great story is written by a wonderful author by the name of Laura Braley. Her great characters pull you in with their back stories, each of them are filled with hurt, pain, and mistakes.
I enjoyed reading about these characters and rooting for it all to work out. The only thing I didn't like about this short story is that its way to short, I needed to see their love grow. This story mainly happens over a few months, but they only talk one night and fall in love. I would have really enjoyed seeing their love grow and see what happened after that one night in the bar. It just seemed a bit rushed, but that's because it is a short story. Other than that I really enjoyed reading this story!
Recommendation:
Great story for anyone who has struggled to overcome their past.
