This is a gret anthology where some talents author contributed. There are some name that I know and love and others that that are new to me and I can't wait to read more of their work. I was very excited to see that Meg Anne and K. Loraine 's Promised to Night a prequel to the Mate Games: Pestilence was included. It was an excellent prequel with intrigue and steam. I am really looking forward to reading more. I really enjoyed this collection.

I was not ready to leave the world of the Boneyard Kings and I was so excited to see the newest spin off from that world in this anthology! This new series will follow Lorenzo and Parker and from what we’ve seen, it’s going to be way too hot. Parker is the young, naive university student studying journalism investigating the new mayor, Lorenzo, who is deep into the underworld taking the law into his own hands. I’m already hooked and can not wait for it to come out fully! Love at first sight, enemies to lovers, age gap (even though Lorenzo really isn’t that old) can all be found in this new book. Within this anthology, there is 8 other stories to get lost in so there is something for everyone who needs their quick fill of smut.

Currently reading. One story into this anthology and I'm at a full stop. Cheating is approved in the Meg Anne and K. Loraine contribution because when the husband was caught, the wife got off on it. Ugh that doesn't excuse it!!! This is why I read anthologies though, so I don't have to waste my time on an entire book to realize I never want to read anything by that author again.
Edited to add, because a review on here says there's no cheating in that story (and the character himself also claims there isn't): there definitely is. He got the guy off (his usual sexual boy toy) and then he got himself off, and it was all in an attempt to forget about her. If you're trying to tell me you have to have penetration to cheat, please imagine your significant other getting someone else off then getting themselves off, and tell me it's ok because they "were imagining you...."

I have had such fun reading this anthology! I loved the diversity of the romances, and got to know several subgenres I had never read before. As the title of the anthology already suggests, all of these stories were quite smutty. While each author clearly had their own style, I loved that the spicy scenes were consistently awesome across all stories. Sometimes, such scenes can be quite cringy, but that was never the case here. They were all very well written and fitted within the larger context of the story. I really appreciated all stories, but if I had to pick a favourite one, I would choose His Private Collection by Geneva Lee Albin. Most of these stories were in some way connected to other books/series, so I am definitely going to check out some other works by these authors. The best part? All proceeds of this anthology are donated to Canine Companions, a charity that provides service dogs to those in need at no cost to them. Marvellous initiative!
