As with any anthology there are some you like, some you don't and very few that you remember. The few that stuck out were
Wrong Number by Megan Reddaway
Enjoyed this mutual attraction story between Connor and his boss Gary. 4.5 stars
In The Doghouse by Chris Quinton
The MC of the story was Spot, a racing greyhound whose human handler was trying to keep Spot out of the hands of a gang who had drugged Spot to fix a race. When trying to find a safe haven his handler ends up at the house of an old school friend. The inevitable happens and all ends well. A longer story but one of the best ones. 4 Star
Rough Tackle by Annabelle Jacobs
Alex drunkenly hits on a guy at a club and promptly falls asleep on his shoulder. The next day, suffering from a hangover, who does he meet on the opposing team on the football field but the guy he made a fool of himself to. Josh is a forgiving chap however and was similarly struck by Cupid so even when a hard tackle by Alex has him limping off the field he still leaves his number for Alex.
4.5 stars
Overall this was one of the better anthologies I have read with only one story earning 1 star.
