"Sexy, raw and uncut!"
I've never been one to read anthologies, but I decided to
give this one a try. From 17 different authors and the many
different styles and stories, this book was actually pretty
good. With stories of male on male relationships, broken hearts
and happily ever afters, this book will keep you going til
the last page. Tales were sometimes spooky for example
in the story 'Watching You' by Gemma Halliday - the novella
read like a journal, with the main character writing down
times and habits of the woman that he was watching. That
would be scary to have someone keeping tabs on you and what
you do. But it ended very differently from what I originally
thought was going on. If you love erotic and romantic tales that will pull at your
heart, then I would suggest giving this book a try. It's
full of wonderful stories by some very good authors. The
title of this review basically says it all!
