A fantastic collection of short stories that’s are hot hot hot
This collection of short stories are just short and extremely hot. I enjoyed every single story from two soldiers who thought they didn’t like each other to then risking it all by being together on an exercise. Or one shifters who rescue another shifter only to find that they are mates. Or For a first timer who goes to a club to find a Dom, he’s never done anything like this before but as luck would have it maybe he’ll find the perfect man just for him? To name a few, This collection of short stories Is about men who find their other half’s . And nothing is gonna stop them from being together. This is the first collection that I read from Lucy Felthouse but I will be sure to keep an eye out for any other books by her. The short stories get straight to the point and are superhot the connections they share, the passion!!!! just an amazing collection of books!

Magnificent Manlove is a collection of different mm romance short stories. Every story was well written and complete. It was easy to walk away and do something you had to do and come back because the stories were easy to read in one sitting. An excellent choice for those who enjoy these authors as I do. I would highly recommend this book.

There is a little something for everyone. Who doesn't love a man in uniform? A man who loves kids? A man who takes charge? Meet the Magnificent Men of Manlove. You can't help but smile at the antics of these men.

I loved Magnificent Manlove by Lucy Felthouse. It's a collection of six erotic short stories. Some I liked more than others, but they were all different tropes. There is definitely something for everyone. In Ditched, Scott and Stone were hot together, but ouch to being penetrated without some form of lube. He could have at least used spit. However, that was the only one that didn't use some form of lube. In Garden of Eden, I liked Dale and Al's short story. It was an instant-lust-BDSM-light story. In Fired Up, Greg and Lucas were hot in this second-chance-at-love short story. Out in the Cold is a shifter story about Kanr and Paul. I wanted more of this one. I wanted it to be longer. It was by far my favorite story. Trespassing wasn't my favorite. Jack and Ben were okay. In An Interesting Find, I thought Nathan, Lee, and Jonny's story was the perfect story to end this erotic collection of short stories. I will definitely be checking out the author's other books.

This was an awesome group of six short stories that were super hot and steamy. Each story had different troupes ranging from paranormal to contemporary settings. Sooo good!! I'm voluntarily reviewing from an advanced copy that I received.

[Latecia Jennings · Rating 5 out of 5]

A real nice and enjoyable collection of short steamy stories. They were all different types that range from paranormal to contemporary. Some I enjoyed more that others but all was entertaining. I took to reading one and/or two at a time. This is my first time with this author and I wasn't disappointed. Nice!

Absolutely Mag MM Lust

This boxset of six short stories stars eleven unapologetically-male men with desires for their own gender. There’s firefighters, shifters, military men, strangers, and Doms/subs, experiencing their first interactions together. Plus, in almost every story, there’s tea! Snappily written in British English, it was a joy to read and eminently entertaining.

I found myself wanting more from all these stories! And in a good way! They are all short but I fell in love with each and every story. I’m hoping the author maybe makes a few of the stories into books so i can get more! Loved this collection of m/m stories.

A fantastic, nay, Magnificent, collection of MM short stories. Something for all.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. It is a nice collection of short steamy stories. While it would be nice if some of them were further developed if only for my own curiosity, I was satisfied with them as they were.

Looking for sweet condensed bursts of erotic covering several different genres? Check out this collection of mm romance from Ms. Felthouse. Full disclosure, I didn't read the blurb which is probably what caused me to be confused after reading the first short story. Usually in an anthology, a collection of authors write stories with a central theme. This collection is all surrounding m-m erotica and it is so good.

I enjoyed seeing Ms. Felthouse tackle men in uniform to intimidating shifters. Each of these stories are panty moistening goodness. The characters are sometimes sweet and sometimes a bit crass. Crass as in put your foot in your mouth awkwardness. Many times a short story will leave a reader hanging and wondering what will come next. Surprisingly, for each of these tales, they are well developed and end in a satisfying conclusion. Even the one with two shifters finding each other, I thought perhaps there would be more world building and could be a series in itself. Somehow, Ms. Felthouse is able to fit everything into the story and bring it to a happily ever after with no need to continue on.

I found these stories to showcase Ms. Felthouse's writing style. She can easily shift from contemporary romance to military men and paranormal. Not all authors are able to write so well across multiple genres. The one consistent theme is the hawt erotic scenes. In every single one, the chemistry between the men is smoking. This erotic collection is recommended to mm readers who enjoy sampling every dish or ask for seconds.

I really enjoyed this set of six short, hot and erotic gay stories. Each story is independent and features different characters, tropes, and circumstances. Although each story is complete, I wouldn't mind seeing more of some of these characters again or in longer stories. My favorite was the menage story, An Interesting Find.

Great

Loved the book. Loved all of the stories which is nice cuz usually books with several stories have at least one you dont care for. I really wanted the stories to continue but then of course it would be 5 books instead of 1. I love reading m/m stories there by favorites. So glad I bought it. Enjoy.

This was an unexpected turn of events than what I expected. The six super sexy stories were incredibly powerful and the characters were very enticing! And, the British accent increased the amount of juices that flowed. Each story featured was written exceptionally well, even though they were fast paced.

I've read several books written by Lucy Felthouse; she has written a good set of short stories.

Good story lines.

[Korra II Allison Baskerville · Rating 3 out of 5]

DNF from me. I couldn’t stand this narrator. I was 5 chapters in before I realized this was actually a collection. The Audible chapters are just listed as Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. So I was confused about it being a collection. Then the narrator proceeds to narrate everything with the same tone of voice, with little to no noticeable inflections between characters.

It’s boring as all hell. Not the stories themselves, but the narration. It’s lifeless and dull, to the point where I could barely follow along because it’s putting me to sleep. One of the stories was really sweet, forbidden love between soldiers. Then a whole bunch of things I can’t remember, due to zoning out of this awful narration, and one of the guys is in a wheelchair. I thought he was paralyzed in battle. Then it suddenly ends and a new chapter begins and I realized they were supposed to be different stories.

The narrator does something I truly hate and that’s using his narrating voice as a character voice as well, making it difficult to tell when it’s switching from general book talk to the actual character. And the other characters all sound like his base narration but a little bit quieter. It’s awful.

NOTE: This copy was provided to me free of charge as a digital review copy. The opinions stated in this review are mine and mine alone, I was not paid or requested to give this book a certain rating, suggestion, or approval.

This is a cute quick read. I wish the stories had a little more detail, they all leave you on a cliffhanger. If you don't mind that you get a couple of cute stories that are each different n get a little bit of hot fun in each.

[Marrybell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is exactly what it sounds like.
The narrator does a good job too.

So many short stories rolled into one glorious package! Each one short, sweet and incredibly steamy! This is a collection to listen to away from young and impressionable ears, a collection to listen to when you need some spice in your life and a good, fun, laidback, angst free collection of stories. It is hard to go wrong with this one, well narrated, spicy stories. Lots of fun and lots of opportunities to choose a favourite, bookmark it and come back over and over again!
