The exciting thing about reading an Anthology is the fact that there are so many books to read and enjoy!  This collection is from a dozen authors and offers a range of reads.  From sincere first loves - to hot shapeshifters to swoon over.

 

I found many stories within that I enjoyed.  Even one, that I wish had been longer, since the book was so compelling!  This collection has something for everyone.  Available right now for preorder, this is a book full of stories that give you pause, as well as the feels.  I give this anthology a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

DNF at 57% - Yeah this is not working for me at all. I love Patrick to death but the side story just is not worth it for me.

This is my issue and therefore no rating will be given.

Sven and Flavier are bandmates who have been together for about ten years. They both share the same kinks and are described from Flavier POV as perfect for each other since they're sexually compatible and get along so well. Flavier uses youtube as a tool to help promote the band but after a little mishap with uploading the wrong video. Flavier knows Sven will leave him for it, so after much urging from band members to fix it, Flavier attempts to undo the damage hoping the results will end in his favor.

It felt like quite an erotic short read with the first and second chapter (of five) introducing readers to the sort of sexual activities the couple like to indulge in. It also gave readers a glance of Sven and Flavier personalities and how the conduct themselves within their relationship and out of it. It was such a short read that there was no time to become attached to the characters and I felt detached from them. There was good romancing and Flavier grand gesture to win Sven was sweet.

This was absolutely fabulous. Falling in love amidst the terrors of WWII, knowing their love is criminal in the eyes of the law, but finding support in amazing friends and family members, Jim and Arty do what they have to do to stay together. Utterly brilliant in the emotional writing, this took my breath away.
