Once again, I can't stress enough how amazing the authors and organisers of the Hot Summer Days event are. This anthology, like the two before it, is fabulous and I'm so pleased to have found out about some great new authors through this event too. There's something for everyone here, with some absolute gems.

The stories that I enjoyed the most :)
Spinner by Ryssa Edwards
What I thought:
This was a nice little story, very sexy and I liked how everything felt very sober and hard. The softeness came through in the end and I loved the protagonist. I kind of wanted to give him a hug ♥ sweet, when I didn't expect it to be :)
Seedy Business by Damon Suede
What I thought:
Oh. This was so, so, wicked, in the true mischevious sense of the word you know? Loved reading this one and you'l be pleased to know that you...more

My favorite stories in this volume were...
"Spinner" by Ryssa Edwards - An interesting story about an ex-Marine who finds love in an unlikely setting. The most intriguing thing about this story, to me, was the main character's determination to be brutally honest with himself and others after years of living a lie. He seems so much more afraid of himself than any other obstacle he faces in this story.
"Jungle Heat" by Rachel Haimowitz - I should probably feel bad about enjoying this story, which fe...more

Again, some more excellent stories by wonderful authors. Some of my favorites in this one are Damon Suede's Seedy Business (about Beirn, the brother of Ox from Grown Men), Missy Welsh's You and a Billion Blue Tiles, Cooper West's Henri's War (a Casablanca remix (view spoiler)), Ryssa Edwards's Spinner, and Tia Fielding's Hawk's Sparrow. Just to name a few. =)
Now for Volume 3 of the compiled stories from the Hot Summer Days event. The volume represents days 19 through 25.
As a co-moderator for the M/M Romance Group that pulled this event off with the help of our incredibly generous authors and members I have nothing but praise for all the efforts in this anthology.
I think anyone with a positive interest in the m/m genre would be hard pressed to find anything missing from any of the first three volumes, however, if you do, hang on. There is still one...more

Crocodile Undies by AJ Llewellyn - couldn't finish due to the unrealistic portrayal of Australians using every stereotypical cliche in the book.
I haven't read the rest of the stories, but I plan on doing so.

I read through most of the stories during the actual posting, but this is so great that all these fantastic stories are in one location... ONE MY KINDLE. I loved this as I found many new authors I'm trying out and enjoying my favorites. Thanks and can't wait for the next author's choice like this one.
Another great mix of M/M stories and at the price can't be beat that's for sure. I did break reading of this book with reading some other books and that made it really easy to enjoy.
