5 of 5 starsFor original review see The Prism Book Alliance Blog onlineGrand Adventures is an amazing anthology filled with short stories written by authors well known in the M/M romance community. And that is what Grand Adventures is … a community effort to help two of our own. I doubt anyone who writes or reads M/M romance doesn’t know of Tj Klune and Eric Arvin – they graciously allow us glimpses into their sweet courtship and abiding love.  Like many other fans and supporters, I have laughed with them while watching the “Tj and Eric Show,” as well as cried with them as I repeatedly checked my Facebook newsfeed for Tj’s updates about Eric’s increasingly frightening health issues. The Grand Adventures authors collaborated and took action to help – they marshalled their resources, and together with the amazing support of Dreamspinner Press, put together the anthology in a few short months with all of the sales proceeds going to Tj and Eric.The stories in Grand Adventures are as widely diverse as the authors themselves. I’m not going to pick a favorite author or story among them, because I simply don’t have a favorite. They are all remarkable in their own way. The overriding theme of these delicious stories is the power and wonder of true love. That certain magic that happens when you find “the one.” When a look or smile fills your heart with warmth, and you can’t help but grin. When you just can’t seem to keep your hands to yourself, and the wiggle of eyebrows is the start of something … oh so hot. When you just know that at the end of a truly awful day, a hand rubbing your back in small circles during a comforting hug means everything will always be OK as long as you are together.Of course I recommend that you buy and read Grand Adventures (and, if you can, buy one of the beautiful prints of the Grand Adventures cover art while you’re at it). It’s a wonderful, diverse anthology that you should not miss. But more than doing yourself the favor of a great read, you are doing something tangible to help two beloved members of our own amazing M/M romance community. Show Tj and Eric how much we all believe that better days are ahead in their grand adventures together. Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go!
