Love Trips, by K Webster. 3.5 stars
Triplet Brothers. 42-55%. A sweet story of three broken boys finding their own way in the world. I thought the scenes where they were together were tender yet hawt. I would absolutely love for this one to become it’s own extended book, so we can get more of their history and see how their relationship progresses.
Our Little Secret, by Jennifer Bene. 4 stars
Brother/Sister. 81-100%. This story was longer than all of the others, which allowed for extra time to get to know the characters, before and after their hook-ups start. I think that this one is probably my favorite so far. But I wish that we could have seen them explore the contents of the box.
We Are Chaos, by Yolanda Olson. 4.5 stars
Mom/Son & his brother. 27-42%. Okay, I have to say, as a mother to a high school aged son, this one had me freaked out to read. I know it’s fiction, but some things you just can’t get out of your brain, no matter how much bleach you use. That being said, it somehow takes the top spot so far, just slightly edging out Our Little Secret. I’m not sure exactly what it was, but I was completely drawn into this one. I wish that more would have happened before Tegan was introduced to the storyline, but I can’t really complain, because it was written so well that I got over it fast, and just enjoyed how it played out. I’m not sure how I feel about what happened during the ending, but it wouldn’t be a Yolanda Olson story without a tiny bit of death.
Incident, by AA Davies. 3.5 stars
Niece/Uncle. 55-70%. Another one that I wish was longer. This one stopped just when it was getting good! So hopefully that means it will get its own full-length story. I loved the family dynamics for this one, it made me curious for the rest of the family history, and I will be waiting impatiently for more of their tale.
Escape, by Cole Denson. 2.5 stars
Grandpas/Grandson. 12-27%. I absolutely love MM stories, and while this one was hot and taboo, I just didn't connect to story. I’m not sure what it was exactly. I thought going into it that I would not like the fact that it was grandparents with their grandson, however that didn’t bother me in the least. Hector and David seemed very young for their age, so don’t let that age gap scare you off of this one.
Butterfly Kisses, by Ally Vance. 4.5 stars
Uncle/Niece. 70-81%. I absolutely LOVED the noncon in this one! As I was reading the other stories in this anthology, I was just thinking that I hoped we'd get one. With all of the history that we were given between these two, this one almost felt like a full story. I just wish the final scene would have been seen through to completion, and that we could have gotten a bit more of how their life plays out, or an epilogue.
Fractured Prelude, by Winter Paige. 2 stars
Cousins. 1-11%. I am glad this is the one that I read last. It took most of the story for me to even understand what was going on. And once I did, I just wasn’t impressed. I felt that it either was part of a previous story, or that it needs to be extended into a full one so that all of the missing and/or confusing details could be fleshed out.
