A SUPER SEXY ANTHOLOGY ABOUT SEXY BAD MEN!
LLOYD - ANDREA SMITH & EVA LENOIR (M/M Romance)
My name is Lloyd Ledbetter and I am the best lawyer New York criminals can buy. My obsession to detail is their saving grace. I'm focused, determined and one-track minded. Nursing my broken heart for the last few months, I've stayed away from anything that could resemble a relationship.
Until Luke Gunner.
My name is Luke Gunner and I'm the best money launderer criminals can buy. With an IQ reaching the status of genius, I can practically make money without breaking a sweat. I'm fun, independent and a lover of life. Settling down was never a priority especially when I had so many options laid out in front of me.
Until Lloyd Ledbetter.
LUCAN - KIM BLACK
I am a FBI agent, working undercover within the Petrov Bratva, Russian mob.
Swarm too much and you were killed. Seem too eager and you were also killed. The Bratva only has use for the best of the best. You must be lethal, brutal and show no mercy.
For 5 years I've played the part of loyal servant. Never bringing awareness as to my true identity. I am careful.
But one woman could be the downfall to everything I have worked so hard to accomplish. Can I walk away from everything if it means saving her life?
DILLON - SUSAN WARD
I'm Dillon Warrick.
Ex-Special Forces. I have no memory of what went down on my last deployment, so when the opportunity came to resign my commission and sign up for a new gig I jumped on it.
Now I'm the personal bodyguard for the biggest celebrity on the globe and still living life on the edge.
I'm six feet two inches of blond-haired, blue-eyed Adonis, combat-fit body and fully loaded weapon.
My best friend, Graham, thinks I'm running too close to the edge and about to take a fall. And then there's Rachel, my former high school sweetheart turned fuck-buddy. As incredible as she is, I can't commit until I unravel the mystery of what happened on my final mission.
WADE - SCARLET WOLFE
On the surface, country boy Wade is a reckless partier and a player. The word relationship is not in his vocabulary. The feeling is mutual for Laney after being burned by a past relationship. The two meet at a bar, and there is something neither of them can shake about each other once Laney literally falls onto Wade's fit, handsome body.
Wade must repossess Laney's car, and she continues to be a thorn in his side as they set out on an adventure together. Can the two of them see past the surface and bring out the best in one another, or will Wade's bad habits send him back home alone?
MAVERICK - KIRSTY-ANN STILL
Some will call me crazy, but it's simpler than that - when you love someone, walking away is the hardest thing to do.
I've done it - twice - and I refuse to walk away anymore.
I'm Zane Maverick and its third time's a charm where Amelia Abbiati is concerned.
This fight isn't one I'll lose.
HOLT - A.M. WILSON
My alias is Brixton Holt. Using my real name could get me killed. When the FBI needed a man undercover, I was the perfect candidate. Unattached and an all-around badass. Two years of infiltrating the largest sex trafficking ring in the country, I feel as dirty as the monsters I work for. That is, until she catches my eye. I call her Brandi. Her real name is no longer significant. She knows the rules. Nobody leaves unless it's in a box--a shipping crate or a coffin. My first mistake was following orders. The second? Falling in love.
JAMISON - LENA BLACK
I lived a simple life. I had my own apartment, a successful restaurant I ran with my sister, and my cat, Prue. I was ignorantly happy.
Until him...
I wasn't looking for anything beyond a place to hide the night I walked into Jamison's tattoo parlor.
By the time I'd left, he'd made an impression on my body...and my mind.
Jamison wasn't easy to get to know. He wouldn't let me get close enough to see who he really was. When he finally did, I was introduced to a world I'd only ever experienced in movies.
It wasn't the life he chose. It's the life he was born into. Leaving it behind meant there would be causalities...I never realized I'd be one.
TROY - XYLA TURNER
Savannah's life was on automatic as she still resided in the same sleepy town she grew up in with the same people and the same situations. Then she ran across Troy Bennet, the outsider, who didn't mess around with any of the townie women. Ever.
Until that fateful day, when she learned that her bedroom cravings were not foreign to the brooding man and he was willing to follow-through on his promise.
That was until Savannah found herself in the middle of a shoot-out, only to learn that the sexy Troy was a hired assassin.

I've so far read Lloyd the first story in this amazing anthology.
Lloyd is a spinoff standalone from Eva LeNoir and Andrea Smiths Black Balled that I must admit ruined me for all other M/M romances until Lloyd.
To be honest I didn't really think much of Lloyd Ledbetter in Black Balled even though I felt sorry for him he just kinda was getting in the way of the leading men I was rooting for to get their shit together and fall in love.
So I'm so happy for Lloyd to get his own story and his own leading man. This book is Hot as Hell and funny as Fu*K I highly recommend you read it.
Did I mention the proceeds go to charity ? Well they do so buy this book read some well loved authors or discover some amazing new ones you will sure to get a whole lot of bang for your buck

I haven't read every story yet. But I will tell you I read Lloyd and loved it! more review to come as I read more stories!
January 25, 2016
I must say, after reading the stories of my fellow authors I have fallen in love with their writing. I am truly honored to be in cohorts with these incredibly talented women. Thank you to Kim Black for doing a spectacular job with the promotion, the formatting, the cover and the updating throughout this entire process, she is out-of-this-world amazing. Thank you to Andrea Smith for, once again, teamming up with me to bring Lloyd's story to life. I hope you all enjoy his little HEA especially knowing how much he endured in Black Balled. Thank you to the Beta readers for their helpful feedback, ensuring we do justice to Lloyd and Luke. Enjoy the stories and know that every cent will go to The Hidradenitis Supprativa Trust in hopes of heightening awareness for the public. Thank you to all YOU readers for allowing us into your imaginations!

I was given this collection for my honest review.
Each author brings their own stories to this Anthology with great care, a lot of hot sex, an obstacle of illusion and happiness that other authors can only hope for.
Sure it may not be your taste but I promise you that each author will have something for you whatever you crave there is something for you.
Hot Sex? They bring that in spades and then some.
Happy Sexy Reading

Oh my god.. Wilson took my heart out of my chest and tore it to pieces. A wonderfully written but very horrific story that shows what is happening to people this very second but we never stop to think about. I love wilson's stories and they keep getting better with each one.

Loved, loved this whole anthology. I was introduced to some new authors and will be looking for more of their work.

Overall, really enjoyed this anthology. The first book was not something I would normally read, but it was tastefully written. The rest was awesome and hope to be able to read the next book in some of the stories! Highly recommend!

Overall, this was a mess of an anthology. Many stories needed editing and proofreading, and quite a few were not my cup of tea subjectwise. I had only read one of these authors before - Susan Ward, and her story was the best in my opinion - and don't feel the need to read any of the others again. Hadn't heard of the charity or disease before either, so at least it created awareness.
Lloyd, by Andrea Smith and Eva Lenoir - Meh. Not my thing. 1 star.
Lucan, by Kim Black - Full of mistakes - the hero becomes Lucas most of the time - so really in need of a good edit. Ridiculous Mary Sue heroine and unlikely storyline. 1 star.
Dillon, by Susan Ward - Best one so far. The twist will really surprise you. And break your heart. Graham's still my favourite, but Dillon is his worthy second. 5 stars.
Wade, by Scarlet Wolfe - Better written than some of the other stories, but I couldn't get past the hero sleeping with the heroine's friend as a kind of revenge for her initially shutting him down. 2 stars.
Maverick, by Kirsty-Ann Still - Awful. It needs a good edit because it’s too long, the characters say the same thing over and over, and a lot of the words the author uses do not mean what she thinks they do. 1 star.
Holt, by A.M. Wilson - Stories about sex trafficking really aren't my thing, but the author manages to pack a lot of emotion into this short story. 2 stars.
Jamison, by Lena Black - Meh. Needed a good edit - the tenses were all over the place and some of the words were not what the author was intending. Also pretty tame compared to what the author's other books look like. 2 stars.
Troy, by Xyla Turner - Man, this needed a massive edit, as some of it was so badly written and punctuated it was hard to understand. Story wrapped up amazingly quickly. 1 star.
