Synopsis: It’s the end of the world as they know it—or so they think…

When an international warning siren accidentally goes off, convincing everyone that a meteor shower may just be the end of life as they know it, six couples—friends, exes, crushes and rivals—must take shelter. Inhibitions are abandoned, confessions are made and love blossoms, but what happens when the world doesn’t end?

Filled with humor, heat and hope, this riveting collection of interconnected multicultural stories by acclaimed authors Lane Clarke, Farah Heron, Taj McCoy, Charish Reid, Sarah Smith and Denise Williams beautifully explores the secrets we carry with us—and the joy we discover when we let go and reach for the stars.
Two NASA specialist exes forced to reunite under pressure.
Competing food stall owners face no escape—from each other or their shared past.
Two law students learn just how strongly opposites attract between the library stacks.
A pair of literature lovers confront long-held feelings under the covers of a bookstore bunker.
A songwriter discovers her newly hired contractor hits all the right notes.
Trapped on campus, former college rivals entertain their reignited spark.   (Synopsis from Goodreads)

 
My Thoughts: This anthology was a lot of fun! I loved the mash-up of possible end of the world and love stories. I just found the concept for the whole anthology to be very entertaining.
Anthologies are always funny, because I know I'm not going to like every story contained within it. There are always stories that are great, and some that are just okay. I enjoyed all the stories in this collection. I thought they were all steamy and fun.
This is a short story collection that I can see a lot of people liking. It's an easy recommendation.

Lane Clarke has been in love with books since the age of two. Her stories feature Black culture and bighearted characters with self-doubts and big dreams, who―with a little laughter and good friends―can accomplish anything. She currently lives in Northern Virginia and works as an attorney in Washington, DC.

Charish Reid is a fan of sexy books and disaster films. When she's not grading papers or prepping lessons for college freshmen, she enjoys writing romances that celebrate quirky Black women who deserve HEAs. Charish currently lives in Sweden.
