[Gabi · Rating 4 out of 5]

There are some yummy stories in this one. ;P
3.5 stars for the whole anthology


Coach’s Little Kitten by Quin Perin - 3.5 stars
I really liked this one. My first kitty play and it won't be the last. There's nothing romantic in this one. Just pure sex. One night.
Coach in an unhappy marriage goes to a bdsm club (which isn't his first time), he finds his former student on a leash rubbing his face on his Master's leg. He borrows the boy and then... yeah.. :D This was really hot, but I also found it cute. :)
There is age gap and at first I found it creepy that he went after his student, but the attraction was clearly mutual even back in school.

Abstract Love by Sara Dobie Bauer - 4 stars
Yesss, this was gooood. Enemies to lovers, GFY/OFY. Loved the banter. Very well-written.
Donovan is a grumpy person in an impeccable suit with an office job he said he likes, and on the cusp of divorce. Sam is the complete opposite. Full of sunshine and roses (not a sassy twink, but like David Rose), which annoys Donovan to no end. The two clash, in and out of office, until Donovan realizes he doesn't really hate Sam, he hates how he makes him feel.
Certainly not the steamiest of stories, but I didn't mind.

The Kiss by A.G. Carothers - 3.5 stars
Ohmygoood! I can't believe it! Such a great start and then it just petered out.
What does an asexual person doing in a bdsm club? Gosh, I dunno, you tell me. Pain, apparently. More precisely pleasure that comes with pain. Not necessarily combined with sex.
Steele usually went to the club on a regular night when men an women both mingled. He identifies as 'primal' (which is explained at the beginning) so it doesn't matter to him if the dom is a man or a woman as long as someone can give him what he wants, though admittedly he never scened with a man. And lately he longs for something more, so he decides to go to Men's night, where he seeks out the most perfect dom and tries to convince him to scene with him. He's really determined.
Everything went great, and I found the whole scenario interesting. There was a little banter between the two. And then at one point, it just turned into a mushy, sweet, lovesick story. Ugh! And their big scene together wasn't as detailed as I would have liked. :(
But I will most definitely check out the author's books.

Pretty Boy by E.M. Denning - 2 stars
Incest. Paul and Mark are half-brothers. Their dad was a drunk. Mark left for college, leaving Paul behind, but he promised himself he would come back for him. The story starts with a funeral. Their dad was in a car accident, which meant Paulie was finally free of him. He went to live with Mark. One day Mark catches Paulie in the bathroom, hiding his pretty self from Mark. One thing leads to another and blah blah blah.

Particular Tastes by T.S. Mckinney - 2 stars
The plot was interesting, I just didn't like the execution.
Christian and Hudson were undercover in a BDSM club (I think this might have something to do with the book Sub Mission) 8 months ago, where Christian was trying to hook up with Hudson, and then it turned out the guy was straight.
But now they're back in training together, and Hudson might not be so straight after all. There's lots of sexual innuendos, and Christian is very aggressive in his pursuit, but also a little uncertain, and when he pulls back, Hudson is the one who's pushing. I think I would have like this if all that aggression was toned down a bit. Add in some playful banter and I would have liked it.

Doctor's Orders by Emma Jaye - 4 stars
Well hello, medical kink. This story was a continuation of Invisible Ink (Paint book 3). I started reading the series but I gave up after a few chapters in book 1. I wasn't in the mood, or something with the writing perhaps I didn't like, I don't remember why. But now I have a renewed interest in the series.
First we get a short sort of recap of what happened with Alex and Nate in book 3, and it might have ended with a HFN, coz Alex is still struggling, not with the relationship, but personal stuff.
I loved their dynamic. Nate was so very patient and understanding with Alex. And I want to know more about Alex, what happened to him.
It was a bit fun too, the whole scenario could have fit into American Pie. lol And Chris, the best friend, with his energetic personality (bipolar?) fit right in.
Medical kink was the one I was afraid of the most. It just doesn't sound very enjoyable to me, but how Alex described it, it totally made sense that he would like it, and it's not even the act of putting something in his penis that's so appealing to him, but rather the care the doctor shows.
So even though I haven't read book 3, this was a win.

Brotherly Love by Lynn van Dorn - 3 stars
Jay and Jaime are step-brothers. Jay is also a latino, btw. They grew up together, Jay is 3 years older. He always looked out for Jaime, who didn't exactly hide his love for cock... or clothes and make-up. :) They really acted like brothers, always bickering, but also being there for each other.
There's 2 timelines, so we actually see them growing up. It seems they always hid their love from each other, but now that they live together, because of college, it's harder to resist.
I liked this one. It would have been even better without the 8-year time jump in the epilogue.

Kink Chronicles short story by Luna David - 2 stars
Knox and Zach has the kind of dom/sub relationship, that seems to be a bit complex. I don't think I could strictly categorize it. For example: Zach waits on his knees for Knox to get home from work, he isn't allowed to look him in the eye; Knox makes Zach kneel beside him at dinner and he feeds him. But he doesn't make him clean up. It's not domestic servitude. He also chooses Zach's attire for the evening they are planning with their friends (from Open Mind), while Zach waits naked and blindfolded to be dressed excruciatingly slowly, kind of like a tease. But when he thinks about punishment, he says he hates it. Isn't that something subs should like.
I haven't read Open Mind by the author, and even though this wasn't about that couple, but they were in it. In the middle. Literally. I don't have a problem with doms sharing their subs with each other. Which is nothing new to me. Except I like it better when that kind of thing happens out of necessity, when the sub absolutely needs/craves it.
The part where the two sub had fun with each other was actually nice, they clearly had a connection. But other than that, I didn't like it. Mostly because I didn't understand Zach, the sub. He sounded like he hated being a sub. I didn't get it. ???? He did get off on being humiliated, that was clear.

Tamed by T.M. Chris - 4 stars
Tanya Chris is the Queen of BDSM. Gosh! My only complaint is that this should have been twice as long, at least. I hope when the author gets the rights back, she will extend it a little.
Jake is an ex-Marine. He's big, and he's also a sub. Or at least he wants to be, but no one wants him, because of his size, and also because he's a brat. Like a petulant child, he always rebels. But that's because no one can handle him. He has a mouth on him and he uses it when he shouldn't which results in punishment, but then he rebels even more. So he's looking for someone who can make him obey, and not feel like this whole dom/sub thing is for show. He wants it to be real. I honestly think that at one point he couldn't even decide what exactly he wanted. His head was a mess. He met Eduardo in a bar, and even before they did anything, his petulance already showed. Kudos to Eduardo for sticking it out, and not giving up on him, like so many others before.
I swear I teared up alongside Jake, when he's emotions overflowed.
There wasn't much sex, this was mostly about discipline, like when you try to wrangle a dog into submission. The ending was kind of hanging in the air. That's why I think it might get extended. :D Hope so!

Watch and Learn by K.C. Wells. - 2.5 stars
This was all about voyeurism, which should have worked for me but didn't. Chris (over 40) picked up a guy in a bar, and promised him pleasure, because Zac (around 25) complained that no one can make him feel good. Chris was a bit cocky in my opinion. Anyway, they go to club and just watch people get off, and of course Zac gets his wish, an earth-shattering orgasm. So they meat up again, and again a few weeks later they go to Chris' friends house. And there's all kinds of kinky stuff there, from pissing to lashing, double D, etc. But Chris and Zac are mostly just watch. Later they discuss they will continue to see each other, but just as fuck buddies and friends. End of story. This was meh for me.

My friends at Kimmers Erotic Book Banter and I split up the stories to review. If you want to read them all here's the link to the blog.

So far I've reviewed: Coach's Little Kitten and Watch and Learn

Coach's Little Kitten by Quin
Who doesn’t love the delicious taboo of the teacher/student romance? In Coach’s Little Kitten, authors Quin & Perin blend D/s with some kinky role play as they explore this verboten relationship. As in all their stories, these authors nail the dynamic between the characters, and in very few words they’re able to establish scorching chemistry that will curl your toes.

When the high school gym teacher gets an eye-full of a former student at his favorite BDSM club, he’s pleasantly surprised. Not only because this young man is just his type, but his long white tail and cute fluffy ears are most intriguing. Add in the sensual way this sweet puss is cozying up to his master? Well Coach is just about ready to cream his jeans.

Thankfully it turns out his master will share, and this naughty little kitty is down for some playtime!

Watch and Learn by K.C. Wells
Fans of K.C. Wells’ brand of kink are going to be very pleased with Watch and Learn. If you haven’t tried this wonderful author, her erotic tale is the perfect opportunity.

At twenty-two, Zac is completely disillusioned with mediocre, unsatisfying sex. Every guy he’s with keeps rushing to the grand finale, and frankly anal just isn’t doing it for him. Wondering where the promised fireworks are, he’s one step away from giving up sex completely!

Chris is intrigued by the handsome (but mopey) guy who keeps returning to the bar week after week looking for a hook-up. Chris has learned a lot in his forty-two years, and believes he’s got a fairly good idea what the poor guy’s problem is, and how to solve it.

When Chris confidently promises he’ll uncover what’ll make Zac see stars, the men embark on a sensual journey from A to Z and all the letters in between.

💙ends at 67% -Story Seven - 📚ARC Review of Brotherly Love by Lynn Van Dorn
Lynn Van Dorn writes naughty , smutty , erotic , and sweet stories like nobody's business. And Brotherly Love showcase it perfectly.

💋“Jesus.”“Is that good Jesus or bad Jesus? Are we healing the lepers or fucking up money lenders?"
And did I said hot and funny? Because, Holy. Kinky. Taboo. Goddess, Batman Brotherly Love has so much heat that had me taking cold showers and having whole body squirming episodes 😜 in one minute and laughing my head of the next.
💋 “I can't not love you. I already tried. It's no use. You're mine. My person.”“And if I sometimes want to wear makeup?”“It's super fucking hot. God. You have no idea how much I want your red lipstick on my cock.” Okay. Jamie made a mental note to get some red lipstick. He normally stuck to pinks and corals due to his coloring, but maybe it was time to branch out. Wait. Does that mean I'm considering this? Actually for real considering it?

Coach's Little Kitten (Quin Perin):
Whoaaaa....Naughty!
I knew Quin Perin for a while, and this was what I expected from these duo. Coach Little Kitten was a hot, naughty, forbidden and anything you expected as an adrenaline read. Quin Perin knew how to keep the fire on their stories! Recommended!

[Teal Wolf · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fantastic Anthology- A must buy

Come Play is an anthology by multiple authors where all proceeds will be donated to The Trevor Project. It is a collection of MM short stories that tantalizes with a small teat, just a little taste of heat, a tease of the erotic. Each tale is a great read and so this anthology is a must buy.

Story #1 - Coach’s Little Kitten by Quin Perin - Baxter didnt expect to see a student at the sex club while trolling for casual extra-marital sex with strangers, but when he is offered a chance to play with past student Caleb, he finds himself unable to pass it up. And so we are treated with a hot kitty play story told from Baxter's point of view. Hot, intense, delectable treat!

Story #2 - Abstract Love by Sara Dobie Bauer-
Sam and Donovan's tale is an age gap, gay for you, work place romance with a enemies to lovers tint. This one also offers some humor with its heat. Oh and theres some sweetness too.

Story #3 -The Kiss by A.G. Carothers -
A BDSM club story that actually has sweet aspect too. Liam and Gavin are hot!
I really liked that there was a very interesting and informative preface to the story that enlightened readers to terms and topics in the story that may or may not be known to reader.

Story #4 - Pretty Boy by E.M. Denning -
Mark and Paul fight the brotherly love urge... until they can't. This story shows acceptance for the truth of a person... loving them and their sexual tastes. Sweet taboo story.

Story #5 - Particular Tastes by T.S. McKinney -
Fun and sexy gay for you story between Christion and Hudson.

Story #6 - Doctor’s Orders by Emma Jaye -
Doctor kink, unusual use of glow-stiicks - Alex and Nate are on fire! There is also some drama involved and emotions.

Story #7 - Brotherly Love by Lynn Van Dorn -
A wonderful love story between step brothers , Jay and Jamie- one "straight" and the other just a bit kinky... sweet,beautiful and all the feels.

Story #8 - A Kink Chronicles Short by Luna David -
Two doms + their subs = one increadibley heated night! Knox, Zach, Ronan and Jamie steam up the pages.

Story #9 - Tamed by T.M. Chris -
Intense story that has kink and emotion... Jake needs the right Dom, one that won't give up on him when he pushes back. Eduardo is the Dom for the job.

Story #10 - Watch and Learn by K.C. Wells -
Exploring your desires is an adventure. Chris and Zac are fun to read and a great story to finish off this anthology.



I received an advanced reader's copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review and recommendation.

[Helena Stone · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not all of these stories are love stories, some are scenes, encounters, or two men getting together to satisfy their sexual desires. What all of these stories do have in common is that they’re sexy, intimate, hot, occasionally original to the point of being unique (to me) and possibly extreme. These stories are all about lust, about fulfilling needs, about men encountering their match or their exact opposite on the kink spectrum and indulging. And boy are they scrumptious.

Coach’s Little Kitten by Quin Perin

This story manages to be incredibly sexy and thoroughly endearing at the same time, while never turning romantic. I’d never read kitten play before and I have to admit, it was quite enticing.

Abstract Love by Sara Dobie Bauer

This wonderful story was like ‘trope central’. We’ve been given an office romance in which enemies turn to lovers, one of whom is gay for you, and both of whom thrive of angry sex. A lot happens in this exciting short, up to and including a happy ending.

The Kiss by A.G. Carothers

Wonderful tale in which ‘Steele’ discovers that he isn’t quite as asexual as he’d always thoughts when he persuades ‘Hightower’ to accept his submission and give him the pain he so desperately needs.

Pretty Boy by E.M. Denning

With half-brothers Mark and Paulie, we slip into taboo. But also into a deep love that started long before they admitted as much to each other and acted on it. And their coming together is as kinky and sexy as it is sweet and adorable.

Particular Tastes by T.S. McKinney

A hot will they – won’t they story featuring one American and one English operative and a most delicious gay-for-you vibe.

Doctor’s Orders by Emma Jaye

A stunning hurt-comfort story in which the hurt runs deep and the comfort is as loving as it is kinky. I never thought I’d find medical play enticing but I guess I’ll need to rethink that now.

Brotherly Love by Lynn Van Dorn

Jamie and Jay *sighs*. These two are stepbrothers ‘only’ through marriage, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s easy for them to accept their love runs deeper. The fact that Jay appears to be mostly straight doesn’t help either. But when they do get together…. Wow. And that’s before the most wonderful ending.

A Kink Chronicles Short by Luna David

More kitten play, I guess my kitten cherry has been well and truly popped now. 😊
Although in this story the kitten is ‘only’ a part of a much larger scene featuring two Doms having a fabulous time while they make their two gorgeous subs entertain them. A wonderful combination of love, kink, and hotness.

Tamed by T.M. Chris

Jake is too big to be a sub, too strong, too contrary, and too belligerent…Until he meets Eduardo and Earl (boy did I love Earl). The road isn’t easy and littered with obstacles and resulting spankings, but maybe, just maybe, Eduardo (and Earl) are exactly what Jake needs to find the peace necessary for submission. A beautiful story.

Watch and Learn by K.C. Wells

This is not a romance, but it is a most intriguing story in which Chris recognises something in the younger Zac, a need he thinks he may be able to meet. His quest to show Zac that his needs and desires are perfectly normal, showcases a long and intriguing list of kinks. It will also turn these two men into, I guess you could call it, friends with benefits, although not quite as we usually encounter it. The kinks come hard and fast in this one, and there are some you may not have encountered before, that may make you blink once or twice. A stunning showcase that kinks are never shameful and needs can be met in all manner of fashions.


To summarize the above, Come Play is a delightful anthology if you like your stories hot, kinky, potentially eye-opening, and intriguing. And, to make an already enticing book even better: all proceeds from this book go to the Trevor Project. So many fabulous reasons to read this wonderful book. Go. Get. It.

This is a review for the Kiss by A G Carothers.

Interesting glimpse into BDSM. There is sensitivity in the harshness and even some love.

My friends at Kimmers Erotic Book Banter and I split up the stories to review. If you want to read them all here's the link to the blog.

Abstract Love by Sara Dobie Bauer

Are you searching for an unlikely couple? If so, Sara Dobie Bauer’s Abstract Love is just the thing for you. At a glance, Donovan Cooper and Sam Shelby are polar opposites. The straight grumpy high power ad executive versus the bisexual free spirited and eclectically dressed graphic designer. Things are going to get interesting.

Donovan initially is not a likable person. He is going through a rough time and his treatment of Sam is appalling. After a bit of introspection Donovan discovers something about himself he honestly didn’t know. Suddenly a powerful couple emerges, who together fill each other’s needs.

Abstract Love is not a new premise. The writing is well done and completely flushed out, especially for a short story. The components – meeting, courting, connection, support, sex, and feeling – combine effortlessly yielding a cute, sassy and steamy romantic coupling.

[Kirstin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was lucky enough to receive an early copy of Sara Dobie Bauer's contribution, Abstract Love. First of all, 5 stars.

Bloody hell, it had me swiping pages with intense anxiety. I wanted more and more. The lust-turned-feelings between Sam and Donovan heated up the pages. They belonged together.

"Over the course of a few weeks, Donovan had gone from totally straight to totally Sam."

That's right...it was age gap, GFY, enemies to lovers, workplace romance and pure steam! Highly recommended, quick read, sure to get you in the mood.

This is a review for Quin Perin’s Coach’s Little Kitten.

Out of the high school gym and into a steamy sex club. Coach Baxter finds Caleb, a former student at his Masters feet primed and purring. Coach is a massive wall of a man while Caleb is the sweet kitten, light as a feather and batting his baby blues.

Baxter intends to enjoy his pet for the evening and Caleb willingly takes it all. Hard and soft, dark and light. An erotic dance of lust, heat and carnal pleasure.

Quin Perin deliver another sexy MM read that I read in one sitting!

Review in English and Polish || Recenzja po angielsku i polsku

Ten short stories, ten really interesting tales and a multitude of diverse characters who conquer the readers' hearts. The need for domination and submission, self-discovery, fear of rejection, infinite love and acceptance, self-struggle, weaknesses, patience, love, devotion, need for help and sincere desire to provide it. Let's enter the world created especially for us by a group of fantastic authors who share their imagination and talent with us.

"Come, Play" is an anthology of mainly erotic short stories, focusing on male-male relationships, in the case of which we can clearly point out some common aspects. One of them, undoubtedly the most important one, is the lack of taboos. In this book we find stories with big age gap between the characters, love relationships between family members and between people connected with each other professionally, protagonists who like to wear makeup, love BDSM, and so on. In short, we can find here a lot of topics we should approach with an open mind to get as much from this anthology as possible. Undoubtedly, it is also worth noting that reading these stories, the reader has the impression that the message in them is as follows: no matter what topic turns you on, we accept it and you should know that there are more people with similar taste. For each of the stories included in this book is unique in its own way, and I would love to meet all these characters in the future once again. Let's say in a little "5 years later" anthology.

Two of the themes that often appear in "Come, Play" are BDSM and D/s. In some cases, they are presented as hot, abrupt, dangerous and exciting, while in other stories they are really subtle, or there are just some statements or thoughts referring to these subjects. Each time, however, we see a clear goal in addressing these issues. In this anthology there are stories which main objective is for them to satisfy their needs, understand their preferences, find themselves or a person who will accept them, who will guide them, give them a sense of security. I really liked the fact that in each of these cases, the authors didn't focus on BDSM or on D/s relationship themselves, but on what the characters can give each other. I don't deny that some of the stories really enchanted me and were the reason I needed a moment to vent my emotions because it was hard to accept that this was the end of the story.

Another interesting thing are the characters' kinks, weaknesses, preferences. Gods, what we can find in here! To tell the truth, while I have been aware of some of my literary weaknesses and favorite tropes for a long time, it was only thanks to this anthology that I realized how many amazing things I was missing. Reading these short stories I also had to look at some issues from a totally different perspective, which is a great advantage. I think that in this context it is also worth noting that some stories are connected by a common themes and the characters' kinks, but in the end we see that every story focuses on some completely different aspects of it. Undoubtedly, this is quite important, because it shows the readers that in the case of literature it's not wise to reject any subject, because each author uses and builds it in a different, unique way.

At the end of this review, I would like to write a few words about each of the stories included in this anthology, because the authors really deserve to know our opinion about the stories they created! So let's start.
Coach's Little Kitten – Quin & Perin in all their unique glory. As we could expected, the authors created a really hot story that turns the readers on and brings a naughty smile to their faces. In short, Quin & Perin don't disappoint us.
Abstract Love – a story different from the others, which I immediately fell in love with. It's really an interesting and sweet romance, that definitely should be longer, because the readers want more and more as they read page after page. What is more, the characters quickly conquer our hearts, so at the end of this story, we really don't want to part with them.
The Kiss – a really good, addictive short story, which undoubtedly should be longer, as when the readers reach the end of it they immediately begin to miss the protagonists and the atmosphere of this tale. I really liked the main characters, especially Steel, whose first advantage was his perfectly imperfect appearance, and another one was his complex sexuality, which he was discovering from the very beginning.
Pretty Boy – a story that really should be longer, because we find in it a lot of serious topics about which I would love to read more. Family problems, low self-esteem, fear of rejection, need to belong and finally full psychological and sexual acceptance, support and courage to face the world.
Particular Tastes – another story that I sincerely loved from the very beginning and which I quickly became addicted to. True perfection! The characters easily win our hearts, and the presented events amuse, engross us and they are the reason we don't want to stop reading. I really didn't want this story to end! It's perfect.
Doctor's Orders – a very interesting work with no less fascinating characters. The readers feel fully satisfied with it, but at the same time they want more, because it is not just a short story, it's a whole story about more than just one couple.
Brotherly Love – a story in terms of narration presented in a wonderful and interesting way, which engrosses the readers in the blink of an eye. Really well-built characters, both main and side ones, and interesting story which raises some unique topics. I really liked this story very much.
A Kink Chronicles Short – it was really an interesting experience for me, because it combines elements I like, with those which I approach rather cautiously. I think this short story is definitely worth reading!
Tamed – love it, love it, love it! Great story, brilliant plot, wonderful characters. If I had to indicate the best "Come, Play" story, I would definitely choose this one. I'm really head over heels in love with it. The story presented here should have its own review, because it can be analyzed in so many ways.
Watch and Learn – an interesting, eye-opening short story from which one can learn a lot. It pulled me out of my comfort zone, forced me to keep my mind open. In short, I have really benefited from reading it.

In conclusion, "Come, Play" is a really good anthology which definitely is worth reading. It contains many great stories that not only provide good entertainment, but also can change something in us and in our way of thinking. I'm sure that everyone will find something interesting for themselves in this book. I recommend it!

____________________________

Dziesięć opowiadań, dziesięć naprawdę interesujących historii oraz mnogość różnorodnych bohaterów, którzy podbijają serce czytelników. Potrzeba dominacji i poddania się drugiej osobie, odkrywanie samego siebie, strach przed odrzuceniem oraz bezgraniczna miłość i akceptacja, walka z samym sobą, swoimi słabościami, cierpliwość, miłość, oddanie, potrzeba uzyskania pomocy oraz szczera chęć jej udzielenia. Wejdźmy w świat stworzony specjalnie dla nas przez grupę fantastycznych autorów, którzy dzielą się z nami swoją wyobraźnią i talentem.

„Come, Play” jest antologią opowiadań, głównie erotycznych, skupiających się na seksualnych relacjach męsko-męskich, w przypadku których w większości możemy dostrzec pewne punkty wspólne. Jednym z nich, bezsprzecznie najważniejszym, jest brak tematów tabu. Znajdziemy tu więc opowiadania, w których między bohaterami występuje duża różnica wieku, których łączą pewne relacje rodzinne, zawodowe, którzy lubią nosić makijaż, gustują w BDSM, i tak dalej. Krótko mówiąc, znajdziemy tu naprawdę bardzo wiele tematów, do których warto podejść z otwartym umysłem, aby wynieść z tej antologii jak najwięcej. Niewątpliwie warto również dodać, że czytając te opowiadania czytelnik ma wrażenie, że ich przesłanie jest następujące: nie ważne, jaka tematyka Cię kręci, akceptujemy to i wiedz, że osób takich jak Ty jest więcej. Albowiem każde z zamieszczonych tu opowiadań jest na swój sposób wyjątkowe i naprawdę nie miałabym nic przeciwko, aby wszystkich tych bohaterów spotkać w przyszłości po raz kolejny. Ot, takie małe 5 lat później.

Jednymi z tematów, które w „Come, Play” powtarzają się najczęściej są niewątpliwie BDSM oraz D/s. W niektórych przypadkach mamy do czynienia z czymś ostrym, jednoznacznym, prawdziwą jazdą bez trzymanki, w innych zaś historiach znajdziemy tylko subtelne ich przejawy, wypowiedzi lub myśli nawiązujące do tematu. Za każdym razem dostrzegamy jednak wyraźny cel podjęcia takiej problematyki. W antologii znajdziemy bowiem opowiadania, w których chodzi o zaspokojenie swoich potrzeb, zrozumienie swoich upodobań, odnalezienie siebie lub osoby, która nas zaakceptuje, poprowadzi, da nam poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Bardzo podobało mi się to, że tak naprawdę w każdym z tych przypadków, autorzy nie skupiali się na samym BDSM lub relacji D/s, ale na tym, co za ich pomocą bohaterowie mogą dać sobie nawzajem. Nie zaprzeczam, że niektóre z historii naprawdę mnie oczarowały i sprawiły, że dochodząc do ostatniego zdania potrzebowałam chwili aby dać upust emocjom, ponieważ nie potrafiłam pogodzić się z tym, że to już koniec.

Kolejna sprawa to „bziki” (ang. kink), słabości, upodobania bohaterów. Bogowie, czego my tu nie znajdziemy! Prawdę mówiąc, o ile niektórych moich literackich słabości i ulubionej tematyki byłam świadoma już od dawna, to tyle w niektórych przypadkach dopiero ta antologia uświadomiła mi, że przez cały ten czas nie miałam pojęcia jakie cudeńka przechodzą mi koło nosa. Na niektóre sprawy musiałam też spojrzeć pod innym kątem niż dotychczas, co również wiele mi dało. Myślę, że w tym kontekście warto również zauważyć, iż niektóre opowiadania łączy wspólna tematyka, zaś bohaterów „bziki”, jednak ostatecznie od razu widzimy, że każda historia skupia się na zupełnie innych ich aspektach. Niewątpliwie jest to dosyć istotne, ponieważ pokazuje czytelnikom, że tak naprawdę w literaturze nie warto odrzucać żadnej tematyki, ponieważ każdy autor wykorzysta ją w inny, sobie właściwy sposób.

Na koniec kilka słów chciałabym napisać także bezpośrednio o każdym z opowiadań, ponieważ autorzy, których dzieła znalazły się w tej antologii naprawdę zasługują na to, aby chociaż jednym zdaniem odnieść się do stworzonych przez nich historii!
Coach’s Little Kitten - Quin & Perin w całej swojej wyjątkowej okazałości. Jak mogliśmy się tego spodziewać, autorki stworzyły naprawdę gorącą historię, która rozpala czytelnika i przywołuje na jego twarz niegrzeczny uśmiech. Krótko mówiąc, Quin & Perin naprawdę nas nie zawodzą.
Abstract Love - opowiadanie, które odbiega od innych, a w którym od razu się zakochałam. To naprawdę interesujący, słodki romans, który powinien być zdecydowanie dłuższy, ponieważ czytelnik z każdą stroną chce więcej i więcej. Mało tego, bohaterowie szybko podbijają nasze serca, więc ostatecznie naprawdę nie chcemy się z nimi rozstawać.
The Kiss - naprawdę dobra, uzależniająca historia, która powinna być zdecydowanie dłuższa, jako że czytelnik dochodząc do końca od razu zaczyna tęsknić za bohaterami oraz atmosferą tego opowiadania. Niesamowicie spodobali mi się główni bohaterowie, a w szczególności Steel, którego pierwszym atutem była idealnie nieidealna fizyczność, zaś kolejnym jego złożona seksualność, którą sam odkrywał z każdą chwilą.
Pretty Boy - powieść, która naprawdę powinna być dłuższa, ponieważ znajdujemy w niej wiele głębokich tematów, o których z chęcią przeczytałabym więcej. Problemy rodzinne, niska samoocena, strach przed odrzuceniem, potrzeba przynależności i w końcu pełna akceptacja psychiczna i seksualna, wsparcie i chęć stawienia czoła światu.
Particular Tastes - kolejne opowiadanie, które szczerze pokochałam w przeciągu jednej chwili i od którego szybko się uzależniłam. Prawdziwa perfekcja! Bohaterowie podbijają nasze serca, a przedstawione wydarzenia bawią, wciągają, sprawiają, że nie chcemy przestać czytać. Naprawdę nie chciałam by ta historia się kończyła! Cudeńko.
Doctor’s Orders – bardzo interesujące opowiadanie, w którym pojawiają się nie mniej fascynujący bohaterowie. Czytelnik czuje się nim w pełni usatysfakcjonowany, ale jednocześnie ma ochotę na więcej, ponieważ nie jest to tylko opowiadanie, to cała złożona historia i to więcej niż tylko jednej pary.
Brotherly Love – cudownie i ciekawie przedstawione pod względem narracji opowiadanie, które absorbuje czytelnika w mgnieniu oka. Naprawdę dobrze budowani bohaterowie, zarówno główni, jak i poboczni, interesująca historia, poruszająca wyjątkowe tematy. To opowiadanie naprawdę bardzo mi się podobało.
A Kink Chronicles Short – to opowiadanie było dla mnie naprawdę interesującym doświadczeniem, ponieważ łączy elementy przeze mnie lubiane, z takimi, do których podchodzę raczej ostrożnie. Uważam, że zdecydowanie warto poznać tę historię!
Tamed – kocham, kocham, kocham! Wspaniałe opowiadanie, genialna fabuła, cudowni bohaterowie. Gdybym miała wskazać najlepszą historię „Come, Play” to niewątpliwie wskazałabym właśnie tę. Dla tego opowiadania naprawdę straciłam głowę. Przedstawiona tu historia powinna mieć swoją własną recenzję, ponieważ można ją analizować na wiele sposobów.
Watch and Learn – interesująca, otwierająca oczy historia, z której niejednego można się nauczyć. Wyciągnęła mnie z mojej strefy komfortu, zmusiła do zachowania otwartego umysłu. Krótko mówiąc, naprawdę dużo skorzystałam na jej przeczytaniu.

Podsumowując, „Come, Play” jest naprawdę dobrą antologią, którą warto się zainteresować. Zawiera wiele wspaniałych opowiadań, które nie tylko stanowią dobrą rozrywkę, ale także mogą w nas coś zmienić. Myślę, że każdy znajdzie tu coś dla siebie. Polecam!

Coach’s Little Kitten
by Quin & Perin
This was my first introduction to kitten play, and it was at the same time both cute and sexy. What it also was? Naughty and HOT. Those who like size disparity will be soundly pleased, and the opposites contrast extends beyond just size. This story also brings up the thought of what could possibly happen once Caleb is no longer in school…just sayin’.

Abstract Love
by Sara Dobie Bauer
This one is not so much erotica as it is the beginning of a love story, and I enjoyed it tremendously. It’s written with a lot of emotion and feeling, and I adored how Sam fits with Donovan. Saminasuit…LOVED.

The Kiss
by A.G. Carothers
A deeper delving into kink can be found here with Liam—who identifies as asexual, and who is into pain—and Gavin, a dominant at the BDSM club to which they both belong. Even for a shorter work as this, it’s still plenty of time to lay out Liam’s unexpected (to him) journey into play with a man, and into finding a lot more than what he bargained for…in a VERY good way.

Pretty Boy
by E.M. Denning
Pretty Boy dips into the taboo pool with Mark and Paul, half brothers. All about raw, primal need and the visceral need to be owned, this story will not be for everyone but if you’re wanting to check out that pool yourself this is a good place to start—and not just for the half brother aspect.

Particular Tastes
by T.S. McKinney
Hot guys? Check. Hot sex? Check. Inappropriateness in the work environment? Check. Christian is everything I love in a sexy, hot, pierced alpha male (mmm…yes), and Hudson is perfect as a twink-but-still-deadly match for him. Hudson may not actually be straight as everyone has thought…

Doctor’s Orders
by Emma Jaye
Here we get to take a look at an established couple, Nate and Alex. Alex has plenty of his own issues, and how he deals with them is an issue in itself. Nate’s a doctor, and definitely has his caretaker thing going on with Alex. And Nate does do whatever he needs to do to take care of him…including bringing an interesting fantasy of Alex’s to life. Some readers will definitely be getting introduced to a new kink with this story!

Brotherly Love
by Lynn Van Dorn
Stepbrothers. Lace and satin undergarments. A bit of makeup. ’Nuff said, right? Another dip into that taboo pool here (though seriously folks, step-siblings aren’t related by blood, y’all know that, right?), where we get to see glimpses of Jay and Jamie growing up, slowly leading to it all coming to a head. A very hot and naughty head.

A Kink Chronicles Short
by Luna David
Jeeeeezus. Please excuse me while I go take an ice bath. Pure eroticism, sensual as hell, and it might leave you short of breath…in a very, VERY good way. Told from both Knox and Zach’s points of view, we get a quick exploration of their D/s relationship which has the interesting kink of Zach’s need for humiliation. I confess, that’s one kink I can’t understand personally—but the author takes that and turns it into something crazy hot and intensely erotic. As a matter of fact, “erotic” describes every single page of this story. And that’s before the second couple—another D/s couple with whom Knox and Zach are close friends—enters the picture. Damn, I need a cold drink.

Tamed
by T.M. Chris
If you’re a fan of a sub who just does not listen, and you like stories that center on discipline, this will be a story for you. I’m not really into this type of D/s relationship, so this story made me a bit impatient.

Watch and Learn
by K.C. Wells
To wrap everything up? Just about everything under the sun. Okay, not everything but an all-out impressive attempt at it. The key here for Zac and Chris? WATCH. Voyeurism is definitely Zac’s thing. What Chris has him watch? That’s where the wide array of acts comes into play. Exhibitionism, fisting, shibari, watersports, flogging, menage, DP…there’s a whole spectrum of things to be found here—all with the purpose of Zac watching. Deliciously naughty, probably a bit eye-opening for some readers, and all in the name of Chris showing Zac that penetrative sex is not the be-all, end-all.

In conclusion
One thing the stories in this anthology have in common is that they all have the potential for a lot more, which has me hoping that the authors might decide to use these as springboards into full-fledged novels at some point. Those that were written as an extra look into an existing world have me looking those stories up to add to my reading list. This is an amazing collection, supporting an incredible cause, and gets all 5 stars from me—definitely a highly recommended read for the M/M erotic romance/erotica fans out there! And the “well, duh” disclaimer…this anthology is strictly for readers 18+ for adult language and erotic sexual content, including some topics that some readers may consider taboo (go ahead, you know that’s one of the reasons you want to read it!).

[Sarita Chapdelaine · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an amazing anthology for a great cause and with several of my favorite authors taking part in it I was very happy to be given an ARC. While I enjoyed all of the stories there were a few that stood out to me.

Coach’s Little Kitten by Quin & Perin
This is an extremely hot and sexy story with an age gap and kitty kink. Coach Baxter and his former student Caleb are complete opposites but when coach sees Caleb in his kitty persona he has to have him even if it’s only for one scorching hot night.

Abstract Love by Sara Dobie Bauer
I love everything about this story! Sam is amazing and I love how he sees past Donovan’s gruff exterior to the sweet and lonely man he really is. Donovan is a little overwhelmed when he realizes that it’s not hatred that he feels for Sam but instead he is extremely attracted to him. They have smoking hot chemistry and a strong connection. I love how their relationship develops and I wish that this story was longer as I want more of Donovan and Sam.

The Kiss by A.G. Carothers
I love this sweet, intense and intriguing story. Liam knows exactly what he wants and he is determined to convince Gavin to give it to him. Their connection is amazing and they fit perfectly together. The ending is great and I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Brotherly Love by Lynn Van Dorn
I love this story! It is well written, sweet, sexy, the characters are engaging and the ending is perfect. Jay and Jamie are meant to be together and they have an amazing connection as well as smoking hot chemistry. Jay has always accepted Jamie for who he is and now that Jamie is an adult they have a chance to find happiness together. I can’t wait to read more books by this author.

Watch and Learn by K.C. Wells
This is a hot and sexy story with a very different and intriguing storyline that I really enjoyed. I love how well Chris and Zac fit together and even though neither of them wants a conventional relationship they are able to give each other exactly what they need. Zac is happy to finally be given a chance to understand what he really wants as Chris introduces him to a variety of kinks. The ending is perfect and I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for us next.

Reviews for two shorts in this anthology, whose proceeds supports the Trevor Foundation, a suicide prevention program for youth, especially the LGBTQ+ Community:

Four Stars for A Kink Chronicles Short by Luna David

Heck, I’m a cat lover. If kitten play had been written by a less talented author than Luna David, it might have left me cold. But A Kink Chronicles Short, is purrfectly rendered!

Dom Knox has given his sub Zach a kitten costume to wear. Their shared kink is Zach’s humiliated reaction toward his own easy lust. And tonight they have a playdate with another couple. Lust times three partners, Woo Hoo!

But what follows is better than what I expected. With the clarity of a photo shoot, Luna describes four men’s delight in one another. Their respect and love shines through moment after moment of sensual bliss, like a ballet of emotional intimacy.

Five Stars for Brotherly Love by Lynn Van Dorn

Lynn Van Dorn brings her classy flair to step-brother taboo with Brotherly Love. Enticing erotica becomes a realistic appraisal of such an attraction.

What could Jay do when his new step-brother, at the age of “‘four, hugged me and asked if you could love me. That’s a lot to throw at a seven-year old kid, ya know,'” he tells Jamie. Jamie, now eighteen has asked to live with Jay, in order to start college. And readers can see the problems percolating! Because Jamie, who dons lip gloss and lingerie, captures Jay’s soul. Will they figure out it is mutual?

Their relationship feels immediate as Van Dorn switches back and forth between childhood incidents and their effect in the present. She deftly sketches the characters and their families’ cultural conflicts, adding a dash of quirky humor. Jay considers Jamie as, “the whitest white boy to ever white, but his ears worked just fine in Spanish.”

The love scenes scorched my eyes. Jay and Jamie came to life on the page, grabbing my heart. I only wish this was a full novel rather than a short story. Simply delightful.

Overall the anthology is a 4.5 star read!

"Particular Tastes" by T.S. McKinney

OMG, I LOVED IT!!!

Sweet and soulful 5 stars for Emma Jaye's Doctor's Orders

I haven't read Emma Jaye's Paint series, however, I LOVE her writing and when I came across this little gem, I pounced. It's my mission in life to finish all of her books ever in existence.

Doctor's Orders the little snippet into the life of Dr. Nathan Cooper and his partner Alex. Nate is simply put swoon worthy. He's everything a guy and a gal would want in a partner. Alex! Oh Alex, my heart went out to him.

Alex wasn't just trying to survive his life, he was trying to get through the trauma that was his existence before Nate. I wanted to wrap him in a bubble and go hunt down that mofo who hurt him. I wanna pulverize his face to kingdom come.

So the story goes like this. Nate and Alex are in love, their world is perfect except for a little blemish called parental abuse. And the nearer the day comes to the day of judgment, the closer Alex gets to self destructing.

My heart bled. Will Nate be able to help Alex handle his pain? Or will he lose his love to the darkness? To find out, please, please 1-click on this beauty ASAP.

Coach's Little Kitten by Quin & Perin

This is the first I have read a kitty play story. I definitely need to read more now. This is cute and HOT. I love just how everything goes between Baxter and Caleb.

Abstract Love by Sara Dobie Bauer

Now one of my favorite type of story is enemies to lovers. So I was very happy with Donovon and Sam's story. I love the humor that this one has and the sexual tension is just so HOT.

The Kiss by A.G. Carothers

I love this different look in BDSM. Liam and Gavin's story had lots of emotion. I just love this one so much.

Pretty Boy by E.M. Denning

Now this one had a taboo and kink that I definitely want to see more. Paulie and Mark are so HOT. I absolutely love that Mark loves and accepts Paulie with everything.

Particular Tastes by T.S. McKinney

This is a HOT and SEXY short story! Christian and Hudson are so HOT together. With Christian avoiding Hidson in the beginning just made the sexual tension explosive. Amazing!

Doctor's Order by Emma Jaye

Now this is the second story I have read with a medical kink. Definitely is another HOT one. I love that this follows Alex and Nate. I great tonsee how their relationship is doing and to see kinky fantasy.

Brotherly Love by Lynn Van Dorn

This is such a sweet taboo story. I just love Jaime and Jay's story. I love see how they come to love each other from their past. It made a great sweet, kinky and very happy story.

A Kink Chronicles Short by Luna David

OMG yes I can get a little bit more Zach and Knox! I love Open Mind and I really wanted to know a little bit more about these two. And man does the heat levels of this short story is just HOT! Love it when Knox, Zach, Ronan and Jamie heat up these pages. Amazing!

Tamed by T.M. Chris

This one is definitely more emotional for me. Jake just needs a Dom that will not give up on him even when he is fighting it. So that why Eduardo is the perfect Dom for him. This is had more about discipline and trust. I just love these two.

Watch and Learn by KC Wells

This is different then KC Wells books but still so amazing! I just love Chris and Zac. This isn't a romance but their chemistry is just so HOT and SEXY! This is definitely about trust and I just love reading this short story.


All these short stories are amazing and definitely almost all of them I would love more. This Anthology introduce many different kinks and gay-for-you stories that I think a lot of people would love. Amazing!

*Review of Doctor’s Orders by Emma Jaye.

First I need to say I don’t like medical kink. Not only that, but it is something that would keep me away from a book. Even then, I decided to read this short story because I was intrigued. I wasn’t completely able to enjoy the medical procedures involved in it, but I did loved the story.

What I liked about it was the lovely relationship between Nate and Alex. The story is set after Invisible Ink, Book 3 in the Paint series. I haven’t read any of those books yet, so it works fine as a standalone, even if it does mention some aspect of their life before being together. I fell in love with how perfect they were for each other and it made me want to go and read that series. Alex was an intriguing character and I just can’t wait to get to know him better.

The story have a little bit of everything. It have some angst, funny moments, a very hot scene and above all, a lot of love. Definitely recommend it.

[Smut Librarian · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am just reviewing the one story below, but book is overall a 4 star read! A few gems in this bunch!

Doctor's Orders by Emma Jaye:
Oh boy! If you even have a mild medical kink, you are going to want to dive right into Emma Jaye's Doctor's Orders.

Being new to Emma's writing, I found their approach bold and unapologetic, which is a refreshing change to the sweet and romantic style I often opt for.

Alex has issues. Having suffered in his life, he feels so lucky to have captured Nate's attention and adoration. Nate is a Doctor who feels a profound sense of responsibility and takes his role very seriously.

When Nate discovers Alex has a medical kink, he can't resist showing the precious boy how explosive an orgasm can be!

Fascinating

This review is for The Kiss by AG Carothers. This author is fast becoming one of my faves. Her writing style is so precise. It’s not overly wordy which left me feeling satisfied and not stuffed full of empty words.

The Kiss was about two men sharing their BDSM life as they knew it. Each with different experiences and backgrounds. Even though I’ve read other books about BDSM the author’s introduction at the beginning of the story whetted my appetite and by the end of the second chapter I almost felt like I was in the same room with them. I was left with a fascination of their world and enjoyed every minute I spent with them.

The kiss by A.G. Carothers:

This is a sweet story, if you can call a BDSM club sweet!

Liam and Gavin have known each other for a long time, but when Liam finally gets the courage to approach Gavin for a scene, he gets turned down.

Will Gavin take a chance on getting his heart hurt? Will Liam get his fantasy of feeling the crack of a whip fulfilled?

Follow Gavin and Liam through their journey to find out!

I received an early copy of Quinn Perin's Coach's Little Kitten and it was so sexy I couldn't put it down!

The only thing more I could of asked for was an expansion on the story! But besides that, even if you only buy the book for this kitten play scene, it will be well worth your money and time!

[Nicole · Rating 5 out of 5]

I got to read Quin Perin's "Coach's Little Kitten" and was completely gobsmacked! A nicely descriptive short that is intense and sinfully naughty. Absolutely for the kitten role play lovers and inner kittens in all of us, I couldn’t put this down and was sad when it was over. A very quick read, but one to leave a lasting impression.
