Next, we have Best Gay Romance 2011 edited by the talented Richard Labonte.
Short fiction that is long on romance, Best Gay Romance 2011 encompasses the dizzying emotions of the human heart in love—delight, longing, relief, despair, anger, and deepest desire. From first times to brief encounters, to rediscovered missed connections and longtime companions, editor Richard Labonté has curated a classic on the subject of love between men. Each story unfolds the "possibility of happy-ever-after—the warm, beating heart of romantic desire." Lightning strikes more than once during a fateful tryst in Martin Delacroix's "First Roach Pond." Edward Moreno's "You're a Dog" reminds us that love can be flexible, while Eric Nguyen recalls first kisses and the stirrings of puppy love–and lust–in "How Boys Flirt With Other Boys."
With stories by Jameson Currier, Derrick Della Giorgia, David Holly, Anthony McDonald, Tyler Keevil, Jay Mandal, David May, Shanna Germain, Martin Delacroix, Simon Sheppard, Tom Mendicino, Edward Moreno, and Eric Nguyen.
Whether you've read one, both or neither of the books, everyone is welcome to join in the conversation at the Naked Reader Book Club! Tell us what stories you liked, what make s a piece of erotica "romantic" to you and whether sex is hotter (on the page or in real life) when it's between committed partners.
Let the February lovefest continue!
