Really good anthology! Good short stories are hard to find because there is little time for character development or plot but plenty of time to bore your reader with empty words. Not so with this anthology. Of the 10 short stories I liked 9 and I liked them enough that I would definitely re-read them in the future. To be fair to the author of the 1 story I didn't like it wasn't the writing itself that was the problem for me. That story had a trans character as one of the main characters and to me their interaction just wasn't sexy because, well, one of the characters had the wrong body part for me to find it sexy in a gay romance. Fans of both gay and trans literature would probably love all 10 stories.

I have actually read this some time ago, so now I was mostly rereading the stories I enjoyed - my favourites were K.L. Noone, Nell Iris, Laura Bailo, Kris T. Bethke.

So much fun ten diverse stories by ten selected authors. Well done! I loved this collection. It kept me enthralled for a couple of days. Well written each one was an interesting, sweet of steamy story.

Individual review will be or are already with the book. Or the whole review listed with all the books will be at lovebytesreviews.com. These are some good stories overall. Laughter, love and tears. Some smoking hot, most intimate and romantic.
