MM/MF Dark Romance Anthology
4 MM/ 12 MF
Scouts
***Warnings*** Some of these stories are DARK. If you have triggers, this probably isn’t for you.
Boy Scout
noun
*a member of an organization for boys ages 11 to 17
*Boy Scouts participate in group activities, learn skills, and are encouraged to have good morals and be good citizens.
All of the stories in this anthology are about Eagle Scouts, the badge they were given and how they applied it to their adult lives. All the scouts are depraved in general but especially when it comes to applying their badge knowledge in the real world. They do NOT have good morals, are NOT good citizens and most of them are certifiably crazy. I LOVED it.
I finished this book in early December yet some of these stories are so fresh in my mind, it’s like I read this yesterday. Some of the romances, while dark, were full of depraved humor like the first story, Cutthroat by Natasha Preston. I was both appalled and couldn’t stop laughing at the absurdity of the main character, Zeke, and his obsession with Nora Vanderbilt.
I liked every story with the exception of ONE. Carnal Value by Shane Starrett had me cringing at what the women go through in this story. It was hard to read because of all the non-con. I skimmed the majority of it.
My favorite reads were:
*Ash City By Penelope Douglas. I’ve wanted to read a book by this author for awhile and this was a fabulous intro to her style of writing. The badge was fire building.
* Fertile Ground By Jennifer Bene. This story was about the main character’s gardening badge and was super twisted. It actually reminded me of a short story I read in the Stalkers Anthology earlier in the year. I wouldn’t call this romance per say yet it was everything I look for in a good dark read.
I also liked all the MM ones especially Archer’s Release by Kamisa Cole and Andi Jaxson’s Corruption because they were full with kink related to the badges they obtained. Archery & Horses.
This was a great dark read. I loved it.
