*I received a free review copy in exchange for an honest review of this book. 

DNF 35% in.

I liked the first couple of stories and then got to one that just didn't click with me and I spent two months trying to get through it before giving up. It's super queer in a lot of great ways. I don't have anything to warn about, it just wasn't a great time for me to try and read an anthology. Hopefully I'll try again later I just don't know when that would be.

Each story lists its major CWs at the start, along with lesbian rep and heat level. Partial CWs for sexual content, confinement, drug use, fire, vomit, gore, violence, car accident, death.
