It's like someone asked me to make a list of authors I love.

Office Romance by Tamara Allen ★★★
I can always rely on Tamara Allen to make me happy.

Introducing Mr. Winterbourne by Joanna Chambers ★★★
Definitely an author I'll keep my eye out on.

The Ruin of Gabriel Ashleigh by KJ Charles ★★★★
Sexy! And I loved it.

Unfair in Love and War by Kaje Harper ★★★
It was good, but my least favorite.

Carousel by Jordan L. Hawk ★★★★
I love these snippets written in Griffin's voice! And it was especially creepy.

Deliverance by Aleksandr Voinov ★★★
I think I would have liked this story more if I've read The Lion of Kent. ( )

Fantastic anthology, there wasn't a weak story in the bunch. Highly recommended ( )

An excellent offering of short stories. Most of them are first-time meets and encounters, but there are two that are established relationships.

The anthology took some of the greatest m/m authors and put them into one book, all with historical themes. It was a common theme to have returning war heroes, battled and discouraged, although there was a paranormal element in the Whybourne and Griffin investigation.

Although I enjoyed all of them, my favorites were definitely the first three.

Office Romance by Tamara Allen was well-written and focused on office struggle and politics by two who were competing for the same job they both needed. It was such a sweet ending and a good turn-out all around.

For my top favorite, it would be Introducing Mr. Winterbourne by Joanna Chambers, which pits two completely different men together, at first against their will, but they soon find that their personalities compliment each other and that they have the bedroom action in common.

I'm surprised I hadn't read The Ruin of Gabriel Ashleigh by KJ Charles yet since I'm such a KJ Charles fan and love that series, but I hadn't, and now that I have it was a delight. I loved Ash from the series but never thought much about Francis since he seemed to disappear in the background from other books, but his obsessive infatuation here gripped my heart and there was definitely steam rising from the pages. Loved it.

If you're a fan of historical m/m, you definitely need to read these six short stories. ( )
