My thoughts:
All 3 of these novellas were good, clean, quick reads.  The first one, Picture Perfect Love, was ok, I had issues with the man but the writer did a good job with the story.  I just didn't connect or maybe I just took issues with some of the things he did.  Either way, still a good story and very much about second chances.
I Hope You Dance was better.  Very much an instant love.  I loved the dancing element to it.  I kind of wish this one had been longer, maybe a full length book, all by itself.  It really was a good novella, I just wanted more of it!  The last one, Love on a Deadline, was my favorite of the three.  Mac was always just a kid to Ethan but now she is all grown up.  I liked it was a first crush and coming home story.  Like the second one, I wanted more but that was mainly because I really connected with these characters and didn't want it to end.
Overall, I enjoyed these novellas.  3.5 rounded up to a 4/5 for me.
