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!
