Ten short stories, ten really interesting tales and a multitude of diverse characters who conquer the readers' hearts. The need for domination and submission, self-discovery, fear of rejection, infinite love and acceptance, self-struggle, weaknesses, patience, love, devotion, need for help and sincere desire to provide it. Let's enter the world created especially for us by a group of fantastic authors who share their imagination and talent with us.
"Come, Play" is an anthology of mainly erotic short stories, focusing on male-male relationships, in the case of which we can clearly point out some common aspects. One of them, undoubtedly the most important one, is the lack of taboos. In this book we find stories with big age gap between the characters, love relationships between family members and between people connected with each other professionally, protagonists who like to wear makeup, love BDSM, and so on. In short, we can find here a lot of topics we should approach with an open mind to get as much from this anthology as possible. Undoubtedly, it is also worth noting that reading these stories, the reader has the impression that the message in them is as follows: no matter what topic turns you on, we accept it and you should know that there are more people with similar taste. For each of the stories included in this book is unique in its own way, and I would love to meet all these characters in the future once again. Let's say in a little "5 years later" anthology.
Two of the themes that often appear in "Come, Play" are BDSM and D/s. In some cases, they are presented as hot, abrupt, dangerous and exciting, while in other stories they are really subtle, or there are just some statements or thoughts referring to these subjects. Each time, however, we see a clear goal in addressing these issues. In this anthology there are stories which main objective is for them to satisfy their needs, understand their preferences, find themselves or a person who will accept them, who will guide them, give them a sense of security. I really liked the fact that in each of these cases, the authors didn't focus on BDSM or on D/s relationship themselves, but on what the characters can give each other. I don't deny that some of the stories really enchanted me and were the reason I needed a moment to vent my emotions because it was hard to accept that this was the end of the story.
Another interesting thing are the characters' kinks, weaknesses, preferences. Gods, what we can find in here! To tell the truth, while I have been aware of some of my literary weaknesses and favorite tropes for a long time, it was only thanks to this anthology that I realized how many amazing things I was missing. Reading these short stories I also had to look at some issues from a totally different perspective, which is a great advantage. I think that in this context it is also worth noting that some stories are connected by a common themes and the characters' kinks, but in the end we see that every story focuses on some completely different aspects of it. Undoubtedly, this is quite important, because it shows the readers that in the case of literature it's not wise to reject any subject, because each author uses and builds it in a different, unique way.
At the end of this review, I would like to write a few words about each of the stories included in this anthology, because the authors really deserve to know our opinion about the stories they created! So let's start.
Coach's Little Kitten – Quin & Perin in all their unique glory. As we could expected, the authors created a really hot story that turns the readers on and brings a naughty smile to their faces. In short, Quin & Perin don't disappoint us.
Abstract Love – a story different from the others, which I immediately fell in love with. It's really an interesting and sweet romance, that definitely should be longer, because the readers want more and more as they read page after page. What is more, the characters quickly conquer our hearts, so at the end of this story, we really don't want to part with them.
The Kiss – a really good, addictive short story, which undoubtedly should be longer, as when the readers reach the end of it they immediately begin to miss the protagonists and the atmosphere of this tale. I really liked the main characters, especially Steel, whose first advantage was his perfectly imperfect appearance, and another one was his complex sexuality, which he was discovering from the very beginning.
Pretty Boy – a story that really should be longer, because we find in it a lot of serious topics about which I would love to read more. Family problems, low self-esteem, fear of rejection, need to belong and finally full psychological and sexual acceptance, support and courage to face the world.
Particular Tastes – another story that I sincerely loved from the very beginning and which I quickly became addicted to. True perfection! The characters easily win our hearts, and the presented events amuse, engross us and they are the reason we don't want to stop reading. I really didn't want this story to end! It's perfect.
Doctor's Orders – a very interesting work with no less fascinating characters. The readers feel fully satisfied with it, but at the same time they want more, because it is not just a short story, it's a whole story about more than just one couple.
Brotherly Love – a story in terms of narration presented in a wonderful and interesting way, which engrosses the readers in the blink of an eye. Really well-built characters, both main and side ones, and interesting story which raises some unique topics. I really liked this story very much.
A Kink Chronicles Short – it was really an interesting experience for me, because it combines elements I like, with those which I approach rather cautiously. I think this short story is definitely worth reading!
Tamed – love it, love it, love it! Great story, brilliant plot, wonderful characters. If I had to indicate the best "Come, Play" story, I would definitely choose this one. I'm really head over heels in love with it. The story presented here should have its own review, because it can be analyzed in so many ways.
Watch and Learn – an interesting, eye-opening short story from which one can learn a lot. It pulled me out of my comfort zone, forced me to keep my mind open. In short, I have really benefited from reading it.
