Review:

A couple days ago I was sitting at my computer browsing FaceBook and found a post by one of my favorite authors, Adriana Anders, about Rogue Desire.  I almost never review or purchase anthologies because I prefer long, drawn out stories rather than short novellas, and because I almost never like them.  But when Adriana Anders tells you to do something, you do it.

Rogue Desire: A Romance Anthology (Resistance Romance) is the perfect read for progressives who are unhappy with the current political climate (and also read romance).  I'm not going to tell you that you're going to love every story in this anthology because most likely you won't.  I didn't.  But that doesn't meant you're not going to find a story that really clicks with you, and a new author to boot, because I did.

My absolutely favorite story in this anthology was Resistance by Amy Jo Cousins.  Here's the specific blurb: "All Kaz Shamsi wanted to do was get his college students to and from the DC protest without losing any of them. Getting caught up in the fringes of anarchist violence was not on the agenda. Neither was a motorcycle escape, messing around with a bandanna-masked antifa protestor, or figuring out that guy was one of the students he was supposed to be chaperoning. Now he’s got a ten-hour bus ride back to campus ahead of him, with a stupidly cute student who makes terrible decisions trying to talk Kaz into making one more."

Does that not sound amazing?!  And it was.  I signed up for Amy Jo Cousins' newsletter the moment I finished with the story and realized my heart had fallen out of my chest, my breath was ragged, and my jaw was dropped.  The full story of Kaz and his sexy student will be coming out soon, thank god, and I plan to be first in line to purchase that book.

Anyways, the long and short of it is that I found new authors from this novel and got to spend time with some like-minded characters.  It was a refreshing collection and I strongly recommend it to those who are seeking some new authors but don't want to commit to a full book.  I guarantee you'll find a new one here.

AND IT'S ONLY 99 CENTS.  Ahhhhhhhhhh!  Pre-order here.
