Love's Landscapes Anthology Volume 10

Love's Landscapes #10

by Eileen Griffin, M.E. Sanford, Jambrea Jo Jones

The stories you are about to read celebrate love, sex and romance between men. They are a product of the M/M Romance Group's "Love’s Landscapes promotion sponsored by the Goodreads M/M Romance Group, and each anthology is published as a gift to you.

What Is Love’s Landscapes?

The Goodreads M/M Romance Group invited members to choose a photo and pen a letter asking for a short M/M romance story inspired by the image; authors from the group were then encouraged to select a letter and write an original tale. The result was an outpouring of creativity that shone a spotlight on the special bond between M/M romance writers and the people who love what they produce.

210 stories were submitted and have now been published as a seventeen volume set with five additional bonus volumes, titled Love’s Landscapes. This edition is Volume 10.

The stories in this collection may contain sexually explicit content and are intended for adult readers. They may contain content that is disagreeable or distressing to some readers. The M/M Romance Group strongly recommends that each reader review the General Information section before each story for story tags as well as for content warnings.

About the author

Eileen Griffin lives in the Southwest but loves to travel and has spent many summers crossing Europe with nothing but a backpack on her back. She enjoys TexMex, lives for good wine, and has a certain penchant for purple unicorns.

She loves reading all genres of books, but her current obsession is writing m/m with lots of boy kissing.

The novella Chasing Matt, with co-author Nikka Michaels, was her first published work. Eileen's other works include: "Dinner For Two", the short story, "Claiming Ayden" which is part of Evernight's Alpha's Claim M/M Anthology, In The Raw, In The Fire, and In The Distance published by Carina Press (with Nikka Michaels), Cooper Mountain: Stripped Bare (also co-written with Nikka Michaels)from Evernight Publishing, and the short story "Lost And Found" which was part of the Love's Landscapes Event via the Goodreads M/M Romance Group.

There were a few stories I really enjoyed in this volume. "Lost and Found" by Eileen Griffin was a unique shifter romance. I liked how "Love's First Kiss" by Jambrea Jo Jones was a short sweet story, and while "Mad Passion" by Naaju Rorrete was a little rough, it was also very unique. In "Mating Balance" by Gina A. Rogers and Kyle Adams, Seth and his pets made the story. His antics with the ferrets had me laughing out loud.
