marlobo's review against another edition
3.0
I read this anthology many years ago; I'm sure it was my first LGBTQA+ anthology; I have no idea why I didn't register on GR. I'll fix that in the next few days. There is one of the stories I remembered perfectly: My problem is that I hated the resolution of the story, and still do; BUT it was an unforgettable read, and that dichotomy makes me insecure about how to rate it (I'm talking about 1 star or 5 stars, go figure!). I need to think about it.

Stormclouds by Dallas Coleman - 3.5 stars
Contemporary; Established relationship
Above Snakes by A.M. Riley - 3 stars

Added Money by Chris Owen - 4 stars
Contemporary; Rodeo
Dry Bones by Parhelion - 3 stars

This is the story I was talking about above. Upon reflection, the unsatisfactory resolution seems unnecessary to me.

While I don't doubt that there must have been cases where the inhibition to carry out a relationship must have been absolute. In this case, I don't see that choice as reasonable; since they are roommates, nothing prevents the existence of public life and private life."Male Order Bride by Eumenides - 2 stars
