5.0
I LOVE anthologies- I love getting snippets of worlds I haven’t read and the treat of revisiting worlds I have. Watching authors I love showcase their talents in shorter vignettes and getting the chance to read some authors that I haven’t read before. But, I must admit, I think this might be the BEST anthology I’ve ever read. Every single story sucked me in- each was well paced and had enough emotional center despite being short stories/mini novellas, and each one really beautifully showed off the talents of these authors. Not to mention- they are all SO SEXY.
Every single one is amazing- summaries of each below, but I especially enjoyed K Webster’s male-male story, Fiona Cole and Ella Fields kinky tales, and getting to revisit an old favorite story world of mine from Megan Brandy. Truly, this anthology is outstanding.
Just For A Little While by Fiona Cole: HOLY HOTNESS. I’m pretty much convinced no one writes sexy like Fiona Cole- and this shorty is intensely passionate with the age gap, forbidden flair that makes Fiona Cole one of my go-to one clicks. We’ve got a “uncle” and niece who also happen to be student and teacher, and I am here for this delightfully taboo and steamy story. Willem is so delicious- if you like Fiona heroes, she’s for you. Alpha, possessive, dominant. For a short, this one has plenty of build up and SCORCHING chemistry- and well as good emotional connection. Willem and Arabella lit my kindle on fire. One of my tops in the anthology for sure.
Headmaster Taurin by Ella Fields: This one takes place in the Evil Love world and is SO kinky. Rose and Cooper are being initiated into Nightingale, and we know that’s gonna be a mind F. Headmaster Taurin, who we meet in the prior book, plays a naughty role in their unusual initiation rites. This one is SO sexy, deviant, and so naughty. And the characters are just fantastic- especially Rose- she’s sweet but sexually curious, and I loved her openness. And the men? Gird your ovaries and your heart- they are swoony and sexy. Another top read- and if you are new to the Nightingale world, this may inspire you to dive in.
Fumbled Future by Meagan Brandy: I have been DYING to go back to the Fumbled Hearts world and Megan has delivered. Mia and Austin’s second chance story is sweet and swoony, with a dash of steam. I fell hard for Austin- and Mia is so endearing, sweet but spicy. This was adorable, and I’m now craving a Fumbled Hearts world reread. (if you haven’t read those books of MB’s- do it! I love them as much as Brayshaw)
The Fortune Teller by Skye Warren and Amelia Wilde: What a pair! I love the intrigue of the fortune telling carnival setting. This is dark and sexy- with that forbidden and carnal flair that had me all hot and bothered over Theo and Brian. More student-teacher yumminess.
Over His Knee by Jade West: Jade is one of the best erotic writers out there- her books always light me on fire- just the right balance of heat and kink. This story is a great showcase of her talents. We have some headmaster/naught school girl kink here- we know Jade loves some daddies!
Mr. Klein is Fine by Meghan Quinn: We have our characteristic MQ athlete in Gunner, an ex baseball player who desires sweet Lindsey, but they’ve only ever explored hookups. This was sweet and sexy, with that MQ humor, angsty, and heart. This one had me thirsty for more.
Falling at First Sight by Willow Winters: Cute and sweet- two single parents who just can’t resist each other. This was a delight.
He Made Me Stay by K. Webster: KW gives us some MM loving, and I live for her MM work. And wow, this one got me in all my feels- like WOAH- which is some powerful story telling for a short read. Jasper is in a dark place after the death of his twin, until the shining light of Pollyannay Kit crashes into his world. No one does the MM angst, sexiness and emotions like K Webster. This one shredded me and filled me with such joy, love, and hope. KW remains the undisputed queen of MM romance, and this is one of my favs in the whole anthology.
The Painter by Amelia Wilde: More teacher-student deliciousness- this time with a painter and his protege. This is sexy, dark, and yummy.
Dirty Little Secrets by Trilina Pucci: Ava, Holt, and Jackson are HOT HOT HOT. Set in her Hillcrest Academy world, these two have a hot night and the chemistry burned me up, and it definitely moved Filthy Little Pretties up to the top of my TBR.
