Editor's Choice…

Are the stories published in MM that maybe didn't make the “top posts” list but still stood out to the EIC as exceptional pieces of love literature. Most of these are not your usual romance story, but are very much love stories.

Every one of these pieces has stuck with me since I first read them and I thank Karina Garrison for volunteering to judge this category….

It is an extremely well-written, captivating glimpse into an intimate moment between two lovers. I love it's atmosphere and it's development. Congratulations on your well-deserved award!
