Highly Recommended July 26, 2008 JD Walters (Newport, KY) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
There are some EXCELLENT short stories here! They deal with subtlety, they deal with the day to day life of cowboys on the open range, they deal with love experienced but not spoken. Only one or two are overdone as far as the sex scenes. Otherwise, the several authors featured do a very credible job of how difficult a relationship can be when it's between two dominant males. What surprised me was how well the female authors did with the theme, though I don't think they are on a par with gay male writers. The book goes on my second shelf.
An amazing introduction to the genre August 25, 2007 Book Mom (Maryland) 7 out of 10 found this review helpful
I was recommened this anthology by a friend as a good first book to try in the m/m erotica genre, and WOW, I was blown away! I enjoyed every single story, and I can honestly say that that has never been true of any kind of anthology I've read before. I liked some more than others - Stormclouds, Dry Bones and Surrender were exceptional - but I didn't dislike any of them. All were instantly engaging *and* believeable in a very short space, whereas so many other anthology stories I've read have not been able to pull that off.
I was also pleasantly surprised at how romantic the stories were - I appreciated the hot sex, but was really hooked by the depth of emotion portrayed within such a broad range of characters. I even teared up several times, and in my head all of the couples who might live happily ever after, do.
Kudos, also, to editer Rob Knight, who put them all together for me. I will absolutely be recommending this to friends, but I'm not sharing my copy!
Save a Horse: Ride A Cowboy! April 3, 2007 K. Peoples (Arlington, VA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Wow! Rob Knight found some truly HOT stories here. I liked them all and felt they all had not only sizzling sex, but, more importantly, some really good plot lines. Some of them should have been written as full length books, especially my favorite: Jourdan Lane's "Surrender." Hot, sexy cowboys steaming with mutual attraction and, at the same time, serious conflicts between them. Lane's story could well be the core of a much longer, even more satisfying book developing not only the two protagonists but a couple of the secondary characters as well. Not all of the stories ended "happily ever after," but they were satisfying in their conclusions. This book is well worth a try, and it will prove to be hard (so to speak) to put down.
Amazing Stories February 26, 2007 Reading Is Fundamental 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book contains amazing stand alone stories about life and love. I was expecting just erotic interludes, but this book is sooo much more. Each story envoked a different emotion from me, and no two stories are the same. I was most surprised by Sean Michael's story. My fav was Chris Owen's story. She is fast becoming my number one.
I recommend this book, as one reviewer said, truly a "treasure".
Well Thought Out and Sexy! November 27, 2006 Sandy 7 out of 8 found this review helpful
This was not what I expected. These stories are long, little books within a book. Truly great stories. Hot and beautiful. I have no regrets. Cowboy up.
