I'm going middle of the road for this with 3 stars as I would 5 star some but tbh some I would 2 star.

I do not want to name names so will leave this as a general review. I have read every story in this anthology and I loved the concept, but some stories seemed edited, polished and finished and some didn't. They felt rushed, unedited and incomplete.

The concept and idea of Taking a Chance on love, drew me in and given the opportunity to arc read and overall I did enjoy the book.

These 17 authors all came together to raise funds for AIDS healthcare, so grab this as you might find a gem or a new author to read.… (more)

First, let me say I did enjoy this anthology overall.

What I loved: The stories were quick, steamy, dirty, and taboo. If you're not looking for anything slow burn or a longer read, you're going to really enjoy this anthology. The stories are short enough you can read the book in a day, or you can easily space it out over multiple readings, with one story in each sitting.

What I wasn't crazy about: Entwined felt like there were some missed opportunities in it, but overall it wasn't horrible. Mutual Destruction had some parts that were really hard to read but overall it was a great story.

Final verdict: Taboo lovers can all find a story to enjoy in this short anthology. Overall stories were well written and engaging. Definitely worth grabbing and reading.… (more)

This anthology was amazing. If I didn’t know that the authors had written outside their normal genres from the blurb, I never would’ve guessed. Each story is unique with captivating characters and rich worlds. The plots were engaging and well paced. I loved that each story had a little intro, which gave you an idea of what to expect in the following pages, making it easy to pick and choose what to read. There’s a little something for everyone in this, so don’t let the chance to grab this anthology pass you by!… (more)
