Book Review of Hearts of Gold: A Historical Romance Novella Collection

Hearts of Gold: A Historical Romance Novella Collection
Helpful Score: 1


The stories are not the same, but if they have anything in common, it's that they are written with skill! Grace Hitchcock mastered storytelling in giving the reader every detail while also keeping the book in motion and making sure the novella was packed. Despite the separate books being short, there would be subplots, not to mention how Hitchcock would make the main plots slowly unfold, there clearly being more to the storyâand the characterâthat could not yet be revealed but was coming soon. The three settings of the three short books were quite different, but all charming, welcoming, and unique. Every couple is dear, and, from heart-melting declarations of love to sigh-worthy kisses, their stories are sweet.

Although, again, the stories are not the same, there was something that reappeared in each of them: The guy loving and pursuing the girl immediately. This made the main male characters a bit plain, but, to be fair, they were in novellas! The book, including the romance, had to move at a quick pace. Hearts of Gold is gold in itself! Highly recommended!
