Love is Always Write Anthology Volume 10

Love is Always Write
    An M/M Romance Collection

    Introduction
    The stories you are about to read celebrate love, sex and romance between men. They are a product of the Love Is Always Write promotion sponsored by the Goodreads M/M Romance Group and are published as a free gift to you.
    What Is Love Is Always Write?
    The Goodreads M/M Romance Group invited members to choose a photo and pen a letter or story prompt asking for a short M/M romance story inspired by the image; authors from the group were encouraged to select a letter or story prompt and write an original tale. The result was an outpouring of creativity that shone a spotlight on the special bond between M/M romance writers and the people who love what they do.
    Nearly 150 stories were submitted and published as a ten volume set – as well as an additional special bonus volume with three novel-length stories – titled Love is Always Write ; this edition is Volume Ten.
    Whether you are an avid M/M romance reader or new to the genre, you are in for a delicious treat.

    How many times had Ben put himself through this torture? Fifty? A hundred? More? He didn't really know the answer. He'd lost count after the first few dozen trips back, always arriving just in time to hear the horrible sounds of the crash outside the window.
