‘The
Perfect Match’ by Jaelyn Storm
Adam
Taylor always knew he was different, but he could never
reveal that his attraction to women was only a pretense.
His interest in men was something that was not acceptable of
a college football player during the roaring 20’s. Meeting
Evania changed his life when she introduced him to Viktor
Revenika, Evania’s master and the man who stole Adam’s heart
with just one look.
‘The
Perfect Match’ was a good story. Adam was sweet and Viktor
was strong and demanding. They were indeed ‘The Perfect
Match’ and their story was a great start to this anthology
‘Crash
and Burn’ by Catt Ford
Rafael
didn't like being fixed up but unfortunately for him he has
a best friend who never listens to his protests. When his
friend Zelda fixes him up with her boyfriend’s best friend,
Rafael goes out of his way to make sure his date knows he
was not wanted. To Rafael’s surprise Peter was not the type
to be scared off easily, and he knew how to throw attitude
along with the best of them.
‘Crash
and Burn’ was a fun story. Rafael and Peter were like two
pit bulls going after each other, luckily for them fate kept
them crossing each other’s path until they realize that they
could actually like each other. I did think Rafael’s
prickly attitude was a bit too harsh but as the story
continued, why he acted that way was revealed. ‘Crash and
Burn’ was enjoyable and a great addition to this anthology.
‘Third
Time's the Charm’ by Chrissy Munder
It was
concern for his friend and employee that had John Turner
escorting him to the urgent care clinic next door to their
construction site, but it was the gorgeous on call doctor,
Nick Davros that had him wishing for reasons to return. Due
to a freak accident on the site, John was given the
opportunity to see Nick again, but to John's disappointment
his attempt to get a date with Nick didn’t go as he would
have liked. When John finds himself in a dangerous position
he’s surprised to see Nick coming to his aid, the third time
just might be the charm if they make it out alive.
“Third
Time’s the Charm’ was good. It wasn’t my favorite of the
anthology but I did fond it enjoyable. John and Nick were
two hardworking but lonely people who needed to enjoy life
outside of work.
‘Dear
Alex’ by Clare London
Co-founders of an advice column for men, Robbie and Alex
were once a great team professionally and personally. As
time passed Robbie began to see the man he once loved and
admire turn into to someone he didn’t want to know at all.
With their romance already over, Robbie felt the only way to
save their column and possibly save Alex was to leave, but
will taking such a drastic step make Alex see all that he
was losing.
‘Dear
Alex’ was another great story. Robbie was a fantastic
character and his integrity is what I liked most about this
story. I found the ‘Dear Alex’ letters very interesting as
well.
‘How to
Woo a Straight Man’ by Jaymz Connelly
A bad
night got even worse for Chris when he left a disappointing
blind date to find himself the victim of a gay bashing. His
saving grace was when the unlikeliest hero evened out the
three on one odds. Vic, a gorgeous stranger came to his
defense against the thugs. Chris soon found he really liked
his rescuer even though he was member of a homophobic gym
and straight.
‘How to
Woo a Straight Man’ was really cute. The banter between Vic
and Chris was priceless; I really liked the tone of their
friendship. I did think that the transition to a romantic
relationship could have been smoother; it seemed to come
from out of nowhere. I think if there was more hinting
toward it from Vic I would have found a romance between them
to be a bit more believable. Aside from that I really liked
how Chris and Vic interacted with each other.
‘Three
on a Match’ by Nicki Bennett
Burk
Rikert has been harboring a strong attraction to his boss
and founder of the Matchless Men dating service from the
moment he started working for Adrian Smithson, but Burk felt
he was not in Adrian’s league and there was no way Adrian
could ever be interested in him. When Burk’s best friend
and co-worker Quinn decided to take matters into his own
hands, Burke learned that he and Adrian had lot more in
common than he thought, but was it enough for Adrian to want
to be with him?
‘Three
on a Match’ was fantastic. This was the best story of the
anthology for me. I would love to read an expanded version
of this story and see how Adrian and Burk’s relationship
plays out. ‘Three on a Match’ was a great wrap up for this
anthology
Make Me a Match was a great book full of fantastic
stories. I found enjoyment with each story I read in this
anthology. Readers of Make Me a Match would
not be disappointed, I’m certain they would find several if
not all of the stories to their liking. |
