This project is now in our catalog at https://librivox.org/love-stories-volume-1-by-various/
Here are 20 love stories under an hour each, covering all kinds of experiences involving romantic or other kinds of love resulting in heartbreak or happiness -- where the heart overflows with passion, pride, emotion or wonder. ( ~ Michele Fry)
