Hung by Ashleigh Giannoccaro
"Wow" is the first thing that comes to my mind about this story as Ashleigh takes us back to Circue back to where dark desires and sexual fantasies come to life back to where one touch or a single kiss might cost someone their life.
Bang, Bang by Dani Rene'
This is the story of 2 best friends Kasen and Max grew up together they shared a strong bond with each other until 1 day something happens and 1 of them ends up leaving. In true Dani fashion (The Queen of Tease) she pulled me in from the start and had me turning pages to find out what was happening next and yes Dani leaves it on a cliffhanger, but it's so worth the read.

Holy shitake mushrooms! This anthology had me shock into stupor some books cause you'd be like oh i know what gonna happen and bah bam! Had sit back for moment. And would reread to make sure i didnt read wrong. Lots of new authors to me but i enjoyed every book. Definitely have some authors to check out.

Review of Hung for now but will read the rest ASAP! I loved going back to the world of Cirque and some MM to go with it. I’d say this is a little dark erotic novella and the perfect late night read! Ashleigh did an amazing job and I hope we can get more Cirque in the future!

Glam
I wasn’t ready for Glam. That was a story that had so much in it. I was hooked from the beginning. Rage coming for him, and the twist wow! I was blindsided.

Going in, I didn't realize that it would be this DARK. I just wept my innocence goodbye!! But I did enjoy some of the stories.
Don't bash me for this.
Good Boy by Jennifer Bene - It was quite pleasant compared to the others and I liked the gang bang very much, thank you.
Champagne Dreams by Zoe Blake - I just hate pretend person. so.....
At Midnite by Stevie J Cole - I did enjoy it.
Muse by Ker Dukey - Well, least to say, I just didn't like the ending. I cried a little at the end knowing I was never coming back from this. Would have preferred a different.... a little less dark ending.
Chew Toy by Jason Hes - Kind of liked the taboo aspect in this one. And the delicious cliffhanger made me want to think of things.....
GLAM - K Webster - Loved the fuck out of this. I call this 'my kind of dark'!!

Hung by Ashleigh Giannoccaro.
The pulsing beat of dark erotic delights, vibed throughout this enthralling story. The interaction between Wes & Scott was fascinating; the power trips, the sizzling chemistry and the risks taken to get their kicks, provided a storyline with plenty of wow moments.
Will update when I’ve read each story.

I've give this the average rating of all the stories within this collection. Some I really liked liked Hung, Bang, Bang and GLAM. other I really didn't.
This is a really dark anthology, full of M/M romances and dark things.
It wont be for everyone. But for what it was, I liked it fine.

I read Bang, Bang by Dani Rene:
Max and Kasen's short story is one of losing your first love only to reconnect later in life. The only problem is, only one of them admitted their love for the other before they parted way.
When they reconnect it is hot and dangerous and amazing.
But Dani left us with a cliffhanger...... UGHHHHHH.
Now to wait to see how the story ends.

If you have read one of my anthology reviews before then you know I rarely start with the first story and this time is no different. I started with Hung by Ashleigh Giannoccaro and I got a thrilling sexual ride. Giannoccaro definitely has a way with words and you would have to when you are writing a horror twisting sexcapade. I never knew how far down into the darkness Giannoccaro was taking me, but I was definitely along for the ride. Holy sugar! This is one story I did not see coming and very exciting.
Then I went to a different extreme with a different level of violence with The Sinner by L.P. Lovell. The twists and turns of this family drama. I kept thinking it was going to go one way and it went left on me (laugh). In a very good way it went left - total popcorn moment. Let me just say that if you were eating the popcorn, you would have stopped your panties would have got wet, and then you would have spilled the popcorn. Holy sugar! I think I am going to keep on saying that the whole book. Makes me want to sin a bit…(wink).
Bang, Bang by Dani René had my heart beating so fast I thought I was going out with a bang. This would make an awesome full-length novel. It is a mystery with a hitman who has a very dark past. He starts to drive in the direction of his father’s funeral, but stops at the boy he was best friends with, and secretly in love house, where things get even more interesting. Talk about tense and combustible. I am so trying not to say “Holy Sugar” again, but I actually swore aloud when I finished and I did not say “sugar” (laugh). Intense. Fabulous. I want this feeling all over again. You will too.
