A free copy of this book was provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This anthology is a collection of 9 M/M romances all set around a fictional university, involving students, students, professors, coaches etc.
I always find the problem with anthologies like this, is that there are two many stories and after a while when reading they tend to blur together. It also means that the really good stories pop out at you, while the rest sort of mush together and make reading the whole collection less fun.
In this collection, it was Winning Bracket and Artistic Endeavors that really stood out for me. Winning Bracket's Ollie and Edwin were so cute together and the plotline was perfect for this short story format. More than that though, I loved them as a couple, believed their chemistry and wanted them to have that happy ending. Artistic Endeavors was a little different as the focus was a shy art professor, Cobey, and Michael, who's helping him with his intimacy issues, but again, I wanted them to have that happy ending and I believed the conflict in their relationship - although Michael's ex's appearance towards the end was a bit blink-and-you'll-miss-it. Unfortunately, the rest of the stories and characters didn't quite match up to these two (even though I've got a soft spot for Solid Education's Gage).
Some good stories in this anthology, but only a few made an impression. 2.5 stars.
