This was an interesting mix of authors and NA stories, and I'll admit, I went into this thinking I knew what to expect, but I was wrong. Not all of the stories are about "sealing the deal" although there is plenty of steam.
Many made me laugh out loud, and a couple made me tear up. And there were a couple that didn't appeal to me, BUT part of what makes an anthology fun is variety. Having the chance to read familiar authors while exposing you to others you might not have read before is always a good thing. For example, one story in particular kicked me in the feels something fierce and now I'm eager to read this author's other works. I'm looking at you Lyla Payne. ;)
The stories I LOVED were the ones that weren't predictable with guys who didn't fit the stereotypical mold. (I married one so I know they exist.) These were also the stories I hated to see end. I wanted MORE Hunter, Blake, Kai, Noel, Ollie and Ben, just to name a few.
Fans of NA will enjoy this and even if you're still on the fence or unsure if NA is your thing, this anthology is a good place to start.
Review posted all over the internet.
