Take It Like a Man Anthology
They say that size doesn't matter, but for some, size is all that matters. If that's you, Take It Like A Man has got you covered! We're ready to stretch you to the limit with big boys and big toys galore.
In "Just What the Doctor Ordered" from Lorne Rodman, doctor Gregg has a prescription for Sam to cure what ails him. Dylan Mackenzie leads a secret double life, but an unexpected encounter at the private BDSM club he frequents is about to change everything in Mychael Black's "Just a Little Bit More." In "Too Good" by T. Strange, Josh is thrilled when a hot guy goes home with him, but he's not sure that Roy is telling him everything.
Casey is resigned to playing piano in swanky hotels and bars, until his ex, Derek, turns up in BA Tortuga's "Monkey Suit." In Lily G. Blunt's "The Perfect Size for You", the well-endowed Ty takes on an inexperienced client and breaks the first rule of rent boys: don't get attached. And Hammer Club fans will be thrilled to see Marcus and Jim joining Billy and Tanny in Sean Michael's "The Games We Play."

Size queens listen up, this one's just for you.
All the giant phalli you could hope for, every story about donkey-sized dongs plundering virgins to rent boys. Mixed bag, some better than others. No home runs and a bunt here or there, but to be fair I am NOT a size queen. No super size for me--I leave those for people who really want them. Not my crank at all. I wouldn't not fall in love with a guy for it, but he certainly wouldn't get an advantage and if he didn't have a license for it--he'd be hitting the road.

Size queens, this one's for you. I liked some stories more than others, as usual.

WOULD HAVE RATED HIGHER IF NOT FOR SOME MISSES
It’s hard to rate anthologies, because it’s a compilation of many mini-stories, so… I rated the stories individually, since it seems unfair to drag the good ones down with the bad. I really wanted to rate this higher, but there were a couple of stories included that really soured this collection for me. And a couple that were just so-so. But the nice ones were really nice, which is why I rated this more in favour of those.

A Joyfully Jay review.
4 stars
Lots of people might say size doesn’t matter, but not the men in these stories. Take It Like A Man is a collection of short stories all featuring men with a love for big boys and big toys. There’s a doctor who writes a prescription to try the real thing instead of a toy. There’s a slave auction where the boy on the block gets more than he bargained for—with both the buyer and the scene. There’s a birthday surprise for a size queen, but the well-endowed man of his dreams might just be too good to be true. There’s a lovers reunited story where musicians at completely different points in their careers must learn to make their lives fit together as well as their bodies do. There’s a rent boy who gets far too attached to a particular client—and the client’s package. And there’s two doms having a “biggest plug” competition with their boys.
This one was really kind of up and down for me. I expected to like this a lot more than I ultimately did because this hits a lot of my favorite kinks. While there were a couple of stories in this collection that really worked for me, most of them fell flat even when considering that this being a collection centered around my favorite kink made up a lot of ground. Check out the individual reviews for more info.

I like anthologies, short stories, usually find a new author or two. But, it's also very hit and miss - finding that new author amongst tales that just don't do if for you.....and this was unfortunately more miss than hit for me.
The blurb was intriguing.....6 short stories where size matters......right or wrong......flip-top heads advisable.....
The first story started off okay, bit of a giggle at the embarrassment factor.....but then one too many "man and honey" platitudes that became overly irraritatting. I felt a couple of the stories needed a back-track of bow-chick-a-wow-wow, one was a BDSM (not my thang) but obviously from a series with established characters, so struggled to identify with the MC's. There was one that had potential, but de-railed quickly.....when you start paying your rent-boy/porn-star boyfriend a $1 fee each time you see each other.....WTF???? -The only one I enjoyed was by BA Tortuga, Monkey Suit. It was a second chance of an established couple, a little cutesy, but hawt. So, new author to read then.
Overall, it amused me for a couple of hours, but socks still intact.

Review written for Love Bytes Reviews.
ANTHOLOGY REVIEW:
From toys to plugs to extremely well endowed men, this anthology has a little, or big, something for everyone. There was a good variety offered here and I liked the majority of the stories which made this a worthwhile read for me. Most of the stories are short enough they can be read when you have a few spare minutes to spend but there were a couple of longer ones that felt a little more complete; regardless of length, however, all the offerings presented here were well worth the read, especially if you like a little extra something with your men.

I was in the mood for hard and ranchy, dirty fun. This anthology had that, but with a more sweet and romantic aspect than I expected. Not that I'm complaining; if anything, several of the short stories whetted my appetite for the novels/series titles they were part of or introductions to.

Read for the 2014 Pushing Boundaries Challenge.
As in all anthologies, some good, some bad. Mostly good though in this one with a unique topic... size queens :) Funny and cute and shy. Enjoyable.
