A few shorts and a whole load of Love's Landscapes Stories

Their Master Don [Gay BDSM ménage romance]by Alice Cain 3*
BLURB: Master Donald is well known for being a hard-core Dom at Club Stunhz, but what his many admirers don't know is that he doesn't want or need a full-time Dom/sub relationship.
When Mitchell is attacked and badly injured by one of the Doms, the last thing he wants is to be ordered around by "The Mastodon," but since going to the hospital isn't something he wants either, he has no choice but to accept help from the huge man. Thankfully, Mitchell's friend and fellow submissive, Riley, is a doctor and can save him the embarrassment of trying to explain his injuries to someone outside of their lifestyle.
Riley has been hiding his professional personality behind bizarre hair color, outrageous fetish gear, and thick eyeliner. He has admired Master Donald for a long time, but has never found the nerve to explain that they know each other outside of the club. But when Mitchell is in need of emergency medical treatment, he has no choice but to reveal who he is.
Having two submissives living in his personal space is much more appealing than Donald ever expected. His attraction to both men is off-the-charts hot, but they're both subs and he doesn't want to be a full-time Dom. Maybe hot sex is the best any of them can hope for.
But what happens when the attraction refuses to fade? Can Riley be a full-time sub to a part-time Dom? And how will Mitchell react when he finds himself falling for the real man behind the Mastodon image?


My Review: I liked this short story and found a lot of story was packed into it. The relationship between the three men was well thought out and portrayed within the storyline and there were plenty of secondary characters who shone equally well. The only reason for the three star is that a lot of the story seemed a bit rushed, with whole time periods being jumped without it being immediately apparent which caused me some confusion.
Flights of Fantasy by Mercedes Lackey 5*
BLURB: Flights of Fantasy is a short story collection edited by Mercedes Lackey centered around birds and flight.
The fourth anthology edited by Mercedes Lackey, who is making a name for herself as an editor, in addition to her fame as a writer. A bestselling author and licensed wild bird rehabilitator Mercedes Lackey has brought together original stories about fantastic flying creatures by such acclaimed writers as Mike Resnick, Diana Paxson, Lawrence Watt-Evans, and S.M. Sirling. Mercedes Lackey also includes a never-before-published novella.


My Review: I enjoyed all of the stories in this anthology and it was hard to pick just one that I liked better than any other. There are eleven short stories in total and each one has a flying creature in it, hence the title of the anthology. Sometimes the flying was tenuous but over all each story was like a perfect jewel in a pretty necklace. Each one an individual but each also enhancing the next.
