Up My Alley by Lee Blair, one story in the Love is All Vol 6 Anthology
A low/no-angst double sexual awakening between two BFFs/roommates.
Leo & Hudson make adorable best friends. Dating just makes them cuter and sexier!
Thanks to a not-so-subtle shove by a mutual friend, two recently divorced straight guys start to realize that their feelings towards one another may not be as platonic as they thought.
It’s a sweet story, with a tiktok famous cat, and two guys who are purr-fect for one another.

Over the Top is one of the stories in the Love Is All Anthology, and is part of the new series, Philadelphia Power. Book 1, Against the Rush, was wonderful, and we met Calder and Riggs there, but do not worry, it’s not necessary to have read it to enjoy this one.
They’ve known each other for a while now, and Riggs has been dressing Calder all season, but Calder’s been focusing on his rookie year. But now that the season is over…
It’s clear they both are interested in the other and in a risky move, Calder invites Riggs to make a weekend away at the awards ceremony to be their first date!
What comes next is a really adorable whirlwind date, with sweet and thoughtful outings, Calder talking up Riggs’ skills to anyone that will listen, and cute coupling.
Surrounded by the snarky (yet caring and loyal teammates) this makes for a really great short story.

An established couple who will melt your heart with how in love their are. They are wonderful together and after years together it is clear how much they still care for each other. But it’s also clear that Will is contemplating something.
But don’t worry, Daddy’s there to help sort through it. Not that John doesn’t also need some loving nudges in his life.
I also love the community of Daddies and Boys they’ve surrounded themselves with, they are all so vibrant and caring....more
On the face of it, this a really sweet summer love story, with a hint of something unknown.
A shy guy becomes a regular at the fish & chip shop Joe works at. And though Joe is normally pretty carefree about sex and relationships, something about Steven calls to him in a different way.
They build something sweet and tender, but it’s also clear that Steven is holding on to something. And when that comes to light…it’ll break your heart.
Thankfully their connection is strong enough to overcome it all and find their happy ending.
It’s a really nice romantic story that makes you feel all sorts of emotions and definitely takes you on a journey. ...more
This is unlike anything I’ve read before. Spooky and gritty. Set in Germany in 1932.
Callum is searching for a place where he can be free to be himself, so he joins his cousin in Berlin. One night out, things happen that are both confusing and intriguing. He discovers an alternate place where spirits reside. And Max, a soldier who died in the war.
There is political intrigue and suspense with others who want access to his abilities.
It’s hard to say more without giving things away. But I would say I’m inclined to call this a love story as opposed to a romance, which I don’t object to. It’s just good to know going in.
This was my first by Christian and I’m really very interested in reading more. It’s a unique style and it lends well to a spooky paranormal world. ...more
Such a great story. Ducky, the youngest sibling, is wonderful. He’s fallen into fame and fortune, but without a chance to get used to it, he is being Such a great story. Ducky, the youngest sibling, is wonderful. He’s fallen into fame and fortune, but without a chance to get used to it, he is being pushed out of his comfort zone, and missing his normal life. A gamer and coder, slightly geeky, but maturing, especially out of direct reach of his hateful father and eldest brother. It’s a lot for this adorable introvert to take on.
Chad is the one bright spot. Charming and adventurous. A friend who truly likes Ducky for who he is, not for his success. He too is questioning life and his future. Struggling to figure out what’s next, which isn’t easy when your parents are wealthy and famous.
Thankfully what happens in Hawaii, doesn’t stay in Hawaii!
Together they make such a sweet and fun-loving couple, and I love how they support one another, bringing out the best in each other and easily accepting the choices the other makes.
Really loved this feel-good story. 4.5 soul searching stars.

I love a cozy queer story and Mandrake Manor gives us cozy, quaint, paranormal vibes with a side of mystery and trouble.
It’s about three best friends who move into Mandrake Manor when they are all in need of a change and Mathias inherits it in mysterious circumstances, with some strange requirements.
And things just keep getting stranger once they move in. Not to mention one very demanding HOA.
As mysteries are revealed and the magic of the community is revealed, love also starts to bloom.
It was a fun story and the audiobook was well done by narrator Kirt Graves (which was to be expected - he’s a talent). I found it a little difficult to follow all the characters, as it’s not focused on just one relationship as is traditional, but that’s more an issue with my ADHD! I really liked the idea of the story being ensemble. ...more
Short but packed full of sexual tension, love and delicious primal play.
The last time Griffin and Tracy were working together, Griffin was in a bad place and kept Tracy at a distance. He also did know that the tempting man was kinky. And not just kinky - ticks every box perfectly for him!
What transpires is an awkward, tense and flirty reunion that quickly turns hot! Like capital H-O-T. Their love, care, and respect for each other just makes it hotter. Not to mention the wild ride that is their play.
