How do you rate or even attempt to review something like this??? Well, I haven't read all of them, but I have to say I had a blast picking them out through the summer and even now I'm having fun with them. The majority were pretty great. Thank you so much to all the authors and thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who worked to put this together for us. :D

Not all the stories in this anthology received 5 stars. But overall, as a concept, this anthology gets 5 stars and more. Don't Read in the Closet is a collection of short stories published for free for members of the M/M Romance Group. The best part of this series of shorts is that they were based on a photo and a reader request for a story. I really, really enjoyed seeing the photos and reading the reader request, and then reading the story itself. It made me truly appreciate the authors att

Will edit the review as I read.
Jungle Heat by Rachel Haimowitz - 1.5-2 stars
My primary complaint about this was that it was too short. There was no plot. Just a little off-screen action, a raping scene Pete was too drugged to realize was occurring, and a kiss.
Open Tackle by L.C. Chase - 3 stars
I really liked how the author incorporated the picture into the story. It was a really sweet story, if a bit unrealistic, in my uninformed opinion.

It is difficult to give this one rating, since it includes multiple stories by multiple authors. There are some great stories and a few O.K. ones. I think this book is a good way to become familiar with a new author.
I don't recommend looking at the inspiration pictures before reading the story. I did that and found that I would be disappointed by a perfectly good story just because I didn't think it represented the photograph very well.

There is a story for everyone here, cowboys, BDSM, Angels, first love, friendship....
Some I loved, some I liked overall I really enjoyed reading it.
The readers’ requests are related to a picture prompt and each author has to create the story behind the picture.
It´s a great way to get to know different authors.

I'm having so much fun reading these! I loved the concept-of the photo inspiring the story-and was really impressed with the originality and quality of the stories. I still have a few stories to read, I've been randomly picking my way through. So far some of the standouts (off the top of my head) were the stories written by J.P.Barnaby, K Lee Klein, Clare London, Belinda McBride, Jamie Samms, PD Singer, VJ Summers, and Damon Suede. Really looking forward to reading the rest!

As with the last Event, I admit, upfront, as a co-moderator of the group I had no intention of disliking any of these stories and I wasn't dissapointed. :)

Loads of great stories. Enjoyed them all. Can hardly wait to meet some of these authors in New Orleans!

A solid sampling of the M/M genre that made me want more, and introduced me to authors I will definitely be looking for in the future.

I loved it still really reading it fully but when I started reading it sucked me into the story and I am smiling as I read. Something I normally do not even do is smile as I read.

Although it took me a while to finish this because I chose to read each short story in between other books I was reading it was really great to read some interesting stories by authors I had never heard of before and some I am very familiar with. GREAT Collection

Thank you!
