This was such an epic collection of short stories。 Some from my favourite authors and some from authors I’ve not read before。 Plenty of chemistry, humour and a dash of feels。 Particular favourites were Ilsa Madden Mills and Laurelin Paige’s stories。 I can’t wait to read more about these characters I received an arc of this book

Shelley,
I loved this anthology。 I loved catching up with the characters Piper and Dane from the novel Dear Ava。 It was like catching up with loved family members。 I loved how all the stories began with the same sentence。 I loved it。 I loved the Halloween setting for the novella。 It was such a sweet story I did not want it to end。 So very good, I loved it!

Nancy,
Sincerely Dane by Ilsa Madden-MillsI was so excited to read this short story。 From the start I could not get enough。 Piper and Dane from Dear Ava finally get their story。 They have been friends for years but a scavenger hunt during Halloween may be the push they needed。 Will Dane win more than the prize for the hunt? This was sweet, fun, and loaded with chemistry!!!

**This is a review for Sincerely, Dane by Ilsa Madden-Mills**Ilsa Madden-Mills delivered a perfect little nugget in Two More Days with her story about Dane and Piper, two best friends who harbor feelings for one another that neither knows about。 These two go on a fun adventure and in the midst of it all, they discover that they really are the perfect match。 This story may be short but it's filled with fun, heart and tons of chemistry。 I loved revisiting past characters that appeared in Dear Ava。 **This is a review for Sincerely, Dane by Ilsa Madden-Mills**Ilsa Madden-Mills delivered a perfect little nugget in Two More Days with her story about Dane and Piper, two best friends who harbor feelings for one another that neither knows about。 These two go on a fun adventure and in the midst of it all, they discover that they really are the perfect match。 This story may be short but it's filled with fun, heart and tons of chemistry。 I loved revisiting past characters that appeared in Dear Ava。 I only wish there was MORE!

Aimee Crant-oksa,
I had the pleasure of reading Sincerely Dane by Ilsa Madden-Mills。It was a cute story about a couple from Knox and Ava’s story, Dear Ava, Dane and Piper。 It’s a friends to lovers story and takes place during a Halloween scavenger hunt。 They had great chemistry, and it was great to revisit them。 A full length novel would be great…hint…hint This is part of the Two More Days anthology, and all the stories start with the same first sentence。
Sara F。,
I read Ilsa Madden Mills’ “Sincerely Dane” and it was adorable, but so short。 Blink and you’ll miss the story。 Great writing, fantastic dialogue, I just wanted more of it。
Jennifer Phillips,
Sincerely, Dane by Ilsa Madden MillsThis was a cute and fast little read about Piper and Dane。 I really enjoyed it and wished it were a full story instead of a short story, but I enjoyed it nonetheless。
Catherine,
Sincerely Dane by Ilsa Madden Mills was sooo cute and swoony i dont how ilsa does it but i swear she makes me swoon with every book lol its probably my most used word describing her characters。 This was a short novella but packed with everything i love and ZERO angst。 I wish i could read a longer book about Dane and Piper。 Im not a huge friends to lovers (im more of an enemies to lover) but this hit the spot :)
Lisa Mandina,
This is just for the short story Sincerely, Dane by Ilsa Madden-Mills, since it's all I've read so far, but it was so good! It was short and sweet, and I loved the scavenger hunt through NYC。 The ending, then final task of a kiss on a tall building didn't turn out to be what I'd expected, at first, and it was perfect! Loved the story, loved the characters I knew from other books by this author as well。 Hoping all the rest of the stories in this one will be just as good!

Sincerely, Dane by Ilsa Madden Mills was amazing! I was looking forward to Dane’s book and she did not disappoint! Short and sweet but I definitely want some more! 5 Stars!
NancyCarol,
I read Sincerely Dane by Ilsa Madden Mills her short story in this book is very sweet。 If you read Dear Ava you will know the characters in Sincerely Dane, but I don’t feel you need to read Dear Ava in order to read this。 Dane and Piper are just friends or are they more? A fun scavenger hunt on Halloween has these two coming together in what looks to be something more then friends。 I’m hoping there will be a book in the future for these two。 This was a fun, sweet read。

love!First of all, I love a project that sets its roots in giving back。 I am immediately bound to pick it up and flip through it!My review is for Sincerely, Dane by Ilsa Madden-Mills。When I first met these characters, I just knew I needed more from them, and luckily this short story got all the sweet spots。Piper and Dane are so sweet, and their adventure was so much fun!
Marina Skinner,
Sincerely, DaneWhat an adorable sweet short story。 It was a quick read but felt like I could read so much more from Dane and Piper! Really enjoyed it!
Bookworm Angel,
I read “Sincerely Dane” by Ilsa Madden-Mills and this is my honest review。I loved this book, such a fun short story about Dane and Piper from the Dear Ava world。 This tale was creative and interesting - learning more about Knox’s twin brother and his love interest as they dashed around town in a Halloween scavenger hunt was so entertaining! I definitely want more of this duo and am really hoping a continuation of their story is forthcoming from Ilsa!
Ofa Love,
I read Sincerely Dane by Ilsa Madden Mills and I absolutely loved it。 It is very short, but you get a glimpse of Piper and Dane from Dear Ava, which we LOVE。 I loved reading about Dane and Piper's beginning and how they were so close and were friends。 I loved their friendship and the little Halloween adventure they went on。 It's short, sweet, and cute。Def recommend especially if you read Dear Ava。 I read Sincerely Dane by Ilsa Madden Mills and I absolutely loved it。 It is very short, but you get a glimpse of Piper and Dane from Dear Ava, which we LOVE。 I loved reading about Dane and Piper's beginning and how they were so close and were friends。 I loved their friendship and the little Halloween adventure they went on。 It's short, sweet, and cute。Def recommend especially if you read Dear Ava。 。。。more

Sunshine Rae by Kandi SteinerThis was such an adorable short story about two best friends who’ve never quite had the right timing when it comes to admitting their feelings for each other。 How Kandi Steiner can pack in the angst in such a short story I don’t know, but she managed it。 Parker and Rae are fantastic characters and their story, while short, was fantastic。 The Kiss by M。 RobinsonAhh so happy that we got to see a little glimpse of Mila and Leo and where they are at now!!

I loved the scavenger hunt aspect of this story, it added a super fun layer while reading! Dane and Piper are so sweet, and watching my girl Piper leap out of the friend-zone was PERFECTION!

Ilsa Madden-Mills is one of the authors participating in it and hers was the first story I read。 Sincerely, Dane is a new short story with Dane and Piper, supporting characters from Madden-Mills's much loved Dear Ava, which was published in February of 2020。 You don't necessarily need to read the aforementioned full-length novel, but I am happily, seriously, unequivocally recommending you do, as time permits。A quick refresher: Dane is Knox's twin brother and Piper is one of Ava's best friends, Knox and Ava being the main characters in Dear Ava。 In turn, Dane and Piper are also friends, but one almost kiss three months prior, one weird text message signed "Sincerely, Dane", and one werewolf, three little pigs, and Little Red Riding Hood gathered together with two more days to go before Halloween changes things between them。 It may sound weird and nonsensical, but Dane and Piper's story is quite sweet and highly entertaining。 It really is a friends-to-lovers romance, and for the few minutes it took to read it, I went "awww!" and was left with a satisfied smile by the end。 Sincerely, Dane receives 4。5 stars。(Will edit this review once I've read the other stories!) 。。。more
Jaime,
As of right now, I’ve only read Sincerely, Dane。 I hope one day this becomes a full length novel because I loved it and i feel like Dane and Piper deserve a full on love story。 I’ve loved Dane since Dear Ava, so I was very excited to see that we at least get a short story for him。 It was sweet, fun, and exciting。 I plan on reading the rest of the stories in this anthology ASAP!
