I enjoyed the story and the writing style very much. Good storyline without the graphic sex scenes many love stories seem to feel the need for. Fun summer on the beach read.

This book has the perfect amount of detail. The romance is not too innappropriate and stays pretty clean. I was able to get this for free on B&N readouts.

I just read this collection again and I think I enjoyed it even more the second time! Sweet, fun stories set in a small beach town with a common thread of the characters receiving a "special" fortune from their fortune cookie at The Fortune Cafe- known for custom fortunes that really come true.

If you want to relax and enjoy some entertaining and heartfelt stories, The Fortune Café by Heather B. Moore, Melanie Jacobsen, and Julie Wright is a perfect choice. As the debut novel for the Tangerine Street Romance series, in three novellas The Fortune Café introduces us to Chinese fortunes that really do come true. Cái, the eccentric own of The Fortune Café on Tangerine Street believes that the first fortune a customer receives in his café will become reality, and he takes pride in the way he chooses fortunes for his customers.
Mis-Fortune, the first novella in The Fortune Café, introduces us to Emma, a waitress at The Fortune Café. Emma believes in fortunes for everyone else but not for her. When her old high school friend Harrison comes to the café, Emma must rethink her life and what a Chinese fortune can mean for her.
In Love, Not Luck, the second novella in The Fortune Café, Lucy grapples with an engagement that goes badly wrong when her lucky necklace breaks. Depressed by her seeming bad luck in every aspect of her life, Lucy finds escape with Carter her next door neighbor who believes in luck and making time for fun. What Lucy must decide is whether the luck is showered out because of charms or if luck is more of an attitude to be actively embraced.
Takeout, the third novella in The Fortune Café introduces us to Stella and her quiet life repairing jewelry and caring for her diabetic mother. Evan enters Stella’s life as a timely rescuer from an old boyfriend and stale relationship. Evan is definitely not who Stella would consider under normal circumstances, but Stella’s circumstances are not normal.
The Fortune Café does not disappoint and is delightful to read. Full of well written stories that loosely intertwine to engage readers in compelling plots, The Fortune Café speaks to hearts who long for happy endings.

Perfect short romance . Did not want it to end and can not wait to start the next book.

Three fun stories by three great authors. Want an enjoyable read with likeable realistic characters? If you are looking for an light romance story these are perfect! I loved the way these three stories intersected a little bit.

These stories are so fun! I thoroughly enjoyed each one. I loved how they mixed with each other subtly, but in an entertaining and important way. I loved the main characters in each. Especially Emma and Stella. My heart broke for Lucy and I loved the twist of her being dumped in her story. I don't want to reveal what happens in each, but each author does a great job of telling their stories without giving us everything at once. Each part reads quickly and I felt satisfied after each one ended. They're sweet, clean stories that will leave you smiling.

Fun! Fun! Fun! What a clever idea! Three stories that all center around this Chinese cafe. It is set in a little tourist town on a California beach. The magic of it is that the first fortune you receive from this cafe comes true. In each story some of the characters from the other stories make an appearance. It is all cleverly tied together. Each story can be read in one evening, but has enough depth to make one feel satisfied. This story was originally released in March for St. Patrick's day. This works well as the stories have to do with being lucky in love. Intriguing characters and sweet stories!

Collection of contemporary romance novellas, received an e-copy from one of the authors for an honest review.
My Review:
This collection of novellas are all connected by The Fortune Cafe. This is no ordinary Chinese Restaurant. I loved reading about the quirky characters that work at The Fortune Cafe. The setting of this restaurant and the folks that work in the area and, of course eat at The Fortune Cafe, are what make these 3 stories work.
I like that although the stories are written by 3 separate authors, they work together. I don't feel like I'm jumping in to a completely different world. That being said, the stories are separate and each would do well on its own.
The stories are clean, fun, and of course, full of romance.
Warnings: None
I would let my 16 year old read this collection.
