The heart of aces is where an anomaly lives, where love’s definition takes a deviation from the common rules.
These eleven stories dive into asexual relationships, where couples embrace differences, defy society’s expectations, and find romantic love. In this collection is a full spectrum of asexuality in all its classifications. From contemporary fiction to fantasy, from...more

This book that I highly anticipated the release of. Romantic literature is not only something I enjoy, but I think is a great venue to explore different types of inter-personal relationships and the fact that so few "alternative" lifestyles and sexualities get the spotlight in this genre is a travesty.

This is the second publication from the company (the first being “Accessible Love Stories”, romance focused around wheelchair-bound individuals) and by anyone who looked at me while reading the book—they thought it was a lesbian erotica. However, no, it’s about people finding love despite being asexual. The fact that it was an anthology with asexual characters was the reason why I bought the book in the first place. Why? Because I am asexual! It’s hard to find books with that pretense without i...more
It's always great to see alternative sexualities and lifestyles represented. I hadn't given asexuality much thought before this, to be honest, so it was interesting to see romance through the eyes of an ace. These stories were well-crafted and interesting, and in addition to the main theme of asexuality, I was happy to see some of the pairings were LGBTQ as well. Hurray for diversity and bucking the heteronormative!
This book has a great variety of stories, and represents asexuality in many different ways and different situations. Everyone will probably be able to find at least one story in this book that they adore.
While one or two stories have several obvious editing errors, this is nonetheless a good book put out by a small publishing company.

A collection of eleven short stories about asexuality. I find that subject to be interesting and would be willing to explore that topic in more depth. Some of the stories kept me engaged and I didn't want them to end. I found that some of the stories were rather boring. Overall, if you're interested in the topic of asexuality, you may enjoy this book.

The Heart Of Aces
A very unique and original book of short stories. Each story has real life characters and situations. The uniqueness of this book, each story is about an asexual person, told through their eyes. It was informative and entertaining and I was in awes at the talent of these Authors (some of which are quite young).
And finally each Author is asexual and gave a brief description of them self. I really enjoyed this read (even though this is not my usual genre) I am always open to read...more

I won this book through a giveaway on goodreads.com
This book gives good insight to the thoughts and feelings of asexuals with sexual peoples.
Every story is interesting because the scenarios are varied, but the basic message and feelings are all the same. I believe this book would be reassuring to an Ace reader.

Another way of showing love as a normal manifestation.
