I'm a big fan of Syd McGinley's, and I got the book for her story. I liked that story, of course. I found that the other stories were pretty decent. Some were f/f, some poly family, and one had a lot of gender-bending. I wasn't sure what kind of audience the anthology would be aimed at, with that variety. Though I'm not into polyamory or kink myself, I have friends that are, and have read my share of romances with those elements.

I have nothing against f/f stories in a general way. Happily, the stories in this anthology didn't have the so-popular "rescued from abuse" themes that many f/f romances do. (I can see why that's a popular fantasy, but I don't care to read about it in my fiction.) Nor were they political and didactic. So it was a win-win for me on those counts.

I suppose the ideal reader for the anthology would enjoy stories with lots of kink and with a variety of lesbian, bi, gay, and genderqueer protagonists. I don't think I was the ideal reader, though I like stories with genderqueer protagonists and would like to see more of them, and I read a lot of m/m romances. However, I was an open-minded enough reader.
