Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed this fun anthology. This is a great way to get a little treat from a favorite author while you check out some new ones and maybe find a new favorite. The theme of this anthology may be secret identities, but don't worry about getting bored because these short stories are quite varied and there is an array of tropes in play. My favorites were Sex, Spies, and Subterfuge by Elle James, What That Alien D Do by Ava Cuvay and Matsuri by D.S. Dehel, but I liked them all.

Secret Identities:A Boys Behaving Badly Anthology by Elle James and various authors, some new to me. Overall rating 4.5 stars These short stories give you a look into each author’s writing. Sex, Lies & Subterfuge by Elle James leaves you guessing n hoping to get more of this couple. In the Dark by Reina Torres, both have secrets, innuendos are such fun and hoping this leads to a new book. Enjoyed most of the stories but some were not my cup of tea but others may enjoy them.
