Warning! This book is seriously steamy—you might want to think twice before reading it in public, especially next to your mother-in-law (trust me, I learned the hard way!).

Got your attention?

Perfect! Today, I’m sharing my review of “Shatter Me,” a sizzling short story anthology featuring gay romance tales from a talented collaboration of authors, including Kelly Lord. I picked up my copy at a book signing event in Leeds, and now it’s time to spill the details. Read on to find out what I thought!

My Review of “Shatter Me: A Phoenix Anthology” by Various Authors

This is a hefty tome of short stories that really aren’t that short. Some of them are more like novellas I would say, so be prepared to get stuck in. I bought the paperback, and I love its substance in my hands. What can I say, I’m old-school! I really had no idea what to expect from these stories, but I can say that they are sexy, smutty and super-hot. A couple of them were not quite up to a standard I would have liked, but most of them were brilliant. I especially enjoyed “For I have Sinned” by Crea Reitan and “My Strength, My Weakness” by Kelly Lord.

This anthology was nice because it offered stories about realistic people living everyday lives and finding romance as they went along. There is workplace romance, small town romance, and student romance, all with natural progressions and featuring gay and queer characters. It is not designed to make a statement; it is merely a gay romance anthology, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. 5 stars!
