Stand for Ukraine anthology is a jam-packed anthology full with multi-genre stories & poems by by over 100 authors. All proceeds go to benefiting the children of Ukraine.

Overall, I give this anthology a 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫/5

There were so many stories, I did pick a few to add to this review.

One Last Wish by By Sofia Aves writing as Jo Seysener

🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

This was such a short, but very sweet story. In those few pages, I was literally about to cry. You felt the anxiety of her husband doing a tour and also the sweet relief of the main character when he comes home. Beautiful job!

Time To Grind (Sk8er Series Bonus Prequel Short Story) By Skye Turner

"Being in love with your best friend is bullsh*t."

🌟🌟🌟🌟💫/5

This is my first introduction to Sky Turner. She brings us a prequel of her upcoming book in the Sk8er series and I was hooked from the very beginning. I ship it soooo much. I quite enjoy the friends to lovers trope. I feel that in this upcoming book, there's going to be a lot of push and pull between Tana and Mason and I am so here for it! Definitely, putting this series on my TBR.

One A.M. by By Chele MacCabe

🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

Another new author to me and in only 6 pages, this was spicy and super sweet. I'm seriously wanting more!

Fate By Skye Turner writing as Sloane Nicole

🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

I'm from Louisiana (the New Orleans area). so, naturally, I'm very iffy about reading stories that are located there (don't know why, but I am lol). So when I read this prequel, I was going in with an open mind. It completely sucks you right in. The imagery, the connection between the two characters. These future books are definitely going to be so good!

Cherished Moments by Ally Vance

🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

Yay! Another friends to lovers. This one was a bit more emotional, you can just feel the love between these two. Loved it!

The Finale By Tanya Nellestein

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

OMFG!!! This was amazing. Maybe I have a dark sense of humor, but I was imagining this all go down and it was glorious.

A Pale Fire by Yolanda Olsen

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

ANYTHING Yolanda Olsen writes is gonna be good. This was absolutely no exception. Fantastic story!!

The Boy Next Door by C.A Rene

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

So, although it's not uncommon, you don't see many reverse age gaps often vs normal Older man/younger woman age gaps. This one, right here, was a breath of fresh air and man, was it steamy (and literally nothing happened) and deliciously forbidden. Not only that, C.A Rene is one one of my many favorite authors. I reeeally hope that there's a continuation of this story!

Yesterday by By Margaret Madigan

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

I'm legit bawling my eyes out. This was the probably the most heartbreaking story that ive came across

Addiction by By Olivia Rhymer

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

This was a tough one. I've personally never gone through this, but you felt the pain & sadness the narrator was going through.
