Mari's ARC Review:

*ARC copy provided to Bayou Book Junkie in Exchange for a fair and honest review.*

The Adventures of Cole and Perry is a collection of short stories that show us vignettes of Cole and Perry’s relationship as it evolves and grows. Their relationship is not without trouble, but both of them are willing to compromise and communicate, for the most part.

Perry was my favorite of the two of them. Steady and reliable and willing to do just about anything so Cole was happy. Cole was a tad whiny and immature at the start, but he does get a bit better towards the middle of the story and beyond that.

I would have liked the chapters to be longer, however, this was a fast, sweet, very enjoyable read as Amanda C. Stone takes us from Cole and Perry almost breaking up at the start up to the point where they are more than ready to share the rest of their lives. Low angst, some sexy times and cuteness make for a good read altogether.
