MEN: An Anthology

Men

by Jon Michaelsen, Carol McKenzie, Anastasia Rabiyah

Welcome to a collection of hot, gay romance that will make even the manliest men sweat with passion and desire. Lust, love and intrigue follow these riveting characters through a series of short stories and novellas. Lose yourself in a world where men are truly men. Graphic Intentions - Patricia Oshier Bruening Scott Delaney, a graphic novelist suffering from writer's block, discovers his elusive inspiration in Derek Reinhart, but he finds himself interested in him for more than just breaking down the wall of his writer’s block. Derek isn't looking for a relationship, but is intrigued by something beyond Scott's graphic artwork. While each is thinking the other is straight, neither acts on the attraction until a loudmouth bigot confronts them. Sparks fly as they begin exploring The Blindfold - Anastasia Rabiyah Leo’s pained past has kept him from trying again when it comes to serious relationships, but when he finds himself in Marcel’s house and at the center of this man’s expert attentions, hope glimmers in his heart. Can Marcel be the one to help Leo put his past behind him and let go of his distrust, or will the weekend be just a fling that leads back to another string of long, empty silences and loneliness? Either way, Leo is willing to go through with it just for the erotic memory. Voyeur - Jon Michaelsen Kevin has an obsession; one that involves the muscular Adonis in the penthouse adjacent to his high-rise condominium. He’s told no one, not even Alice, his best friend at the office of his fascination. He purchases binoculars, adds a camera with zoom lens and spirals into the depths of voyeurism before devising a plan to finally meet the man of his dreams. An evening of easy conversation and lustful glances ends far too soon, but not before Tony plants the most amazing kiss ever on Kevin’s lips, leaving him yearning for more. When Tony shows up at Kevin’s apartment the next night all bloody and bruised, Kevin offers him instant refuge…and his bed. But not all is what it seems. Police burst into Kevin’s home, searching for the killer of a man in the penthouse across the street—Tony’s so-called partner. Will Kevin’s pleas of innocence save him from this horrible turn of events? Pure Artistry - Carol McKenzie Cameron Bracy, an established Certified Public Accountant enrolls in a drawing class at a local university to relieve stress. Just out of a heterosexual relationship, and thinking he’s straight, he meets a man at the class and denies the chemistry he feels for the gorgeous hunk, Eli Thompson. Over drinks and long walks to the canteen, they talk and become well acquainted. Eli, who also has just broken up with a male friend, is drawn to Cameron and attempts to show him through a series of experiments that gay sex is hot. Safe Word - Alex Morgan The naked body of a young man is found as Provincetown prepares for Mates weekend, a popular leather fetish gathering. The police suspect a random murder, but Corey Shaw, brought in to help with the investigation, suspects it was an extreme BDSM session that went out of control. He tours the town’s dark dungeons, looking for a murderer preying on young men. He becomes immersed in the local scene and discovers a side of himself he’s never explored before. In a sea of muscular, leather-clad Masters and Slaves, he realizes hidden urges in an environment where every fantasy can be fulfilled, but he must set aside his sadomasochism desires in order to locate someone who takes the bondage fetish to the ultimate extreme. Can Corey find him before becoming a victim himself? Dream A Little Dream of Me The Other Side of the Window - Max Griffin Dream a Little Dream of Me is a tale of Sean and Gil, polar opposites, who seek in one another the perfect lover. Twice forsaken by past loves, Sean longs for a relationship that will last. When he meets Gil, he believes he’s found his perfect mate.

Reviews

[Jon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well, clearly I'm biased here as my short-story, Voyeur, is included in the print-anthology from loveyoudivine's His & His Kisses imprint; I had the chance to read each story as the authors were developing them - saw each short-story and novella take on a life of it's own. You will NOT be disappointed with this summer's sizzling anthology that is all men, cover to cover! The book contains seven stories by six authors; all filled with erotic romance, suspense, murder, mystery, power-play, sci-fi, love, heart-break...a page turner for sure! You MUST pick up a copy of MEN, not your typical run-of-the-mill erotic romance anthology; this book is filled with stories that have substance and meaning - it just so happens that the main characters are gay! Excellent read. Visit my official author website to download a free-mini .pdf read of MEN, including the first chapters of each story, author bios, websites and more!
