Hard Working Men: Gay Erotic Fiction

Anthologies, particularly ones with an over arching topic, can produce weak stories that only vaguely seem to realize what their theme is. Not so here. It's about work and the men who do it but, for a pleasant twist, there are stories about working men who either want to meet guys they work with or those who are only observers of their work. It's a successful blend in that you are confident that the next story will not be....and the carpenter/plumber/window washer/landscape architect came to my home and boy was he hot and so we did it. Gay lit is moving away from unending descriptions of men having sex and going more toward complex stories that give depth and purpose to their characters. My favourite concerns an iron worker on the 55th floor with nothing to support him but air and his buddy. The situations are diverse-and yes, there are some of men coming to homes to work but never without a twist-and each offers up a different viewing of sex and the various couplings, in many cases of unlikely partners. It's good enough that I read it one or two stories at a time and found that was sufficiently arousing that it was best to quite while I was a head.

Another great addition to an already great collection of books that I have. Men having sex on steel beams 54 stories above the ground. Visiting friends and finding the contractors working on the house - then working on you. The stories are not too long and not too short. They get you all the facts you need to create a vision in your mind then down to action. You won't regret buying this book, just regret that you don't have anything to fix around the house hoping for that hard working man to arrive.

solid read.I enjoyed most of these stories for what they are intended. It's hard to find decent erotic fiction that's not just lazy or sappy. The majority of these short stories don't lose sight of the goal here but do so in an intelligent way.

An interesting anthology of gay erotica, which was enjoyable to read. It was an opportunity to consider some of those fantasies from another time and place,

You can skip over this one because there's nothing to grab you so don't recommend it mewhere good but some are pretty awful

This author has many very hot and exciting things to show other men.

I'm being generous giving this anthology one star. Two of the stories were well written with engaging characters. The rest were peopled by poorly drawn caricatures made worse by cliche-driven writing. Don't waste your time with this book.

One of the better anthologies of gay erotica.
