The first story introduces us to Alex, a successful bachelor who rushes into relationships too soon, and who has never found someone special enough to bring home to meet his family. When he meets Gabby there is an undeniable spark between them, one that burns even brighter because of their private natures and reluctance to discuss personal issues.
The slow, anxious, tender way in which Gabby comes out as transgender is exceptionally well done; Alex's reaction is realistic in the pain and anguish it causes; and the way in which his sister helps him to see beyond the secret is quite lovely.
It is in the second story that their relationship both advances and changes, which makes it a difficult one to talk about without getting into spoilers. Here we see two lovers becoming comfortable in one another's arms, with Alex learning how to satisfy his girlfriend's unique needs. There are some exquisite moments of romance and erotica here, with the way in which Alex opens himself to experimentation my favorite part of the story. As for how their relationship changes, all I will say is that Gabby has more secrets she has not shared, and the legitimate pain they cause Alex left me heartbroken.
From there, it should be no surprise that the final story takes things in an entirely different direction, making this less the story about a transwoman coming out and more about a genderfluid man discovering himself. I am hesitant to say much about this story, because readers need to find their way here naturally, but it does a lovely job of exploring friendship, romance, and erotic exploration, with some female domination elements that I particularly enjoyed, and an exhibitionist climax that is absolutely glorious.
As always, M.C. Questgend does a wonderful job of building characters and establishing realistic relationships, never shying away from emotional conflict in leading us to erotic discovery, which makes the fulfillment of our hopes and desires that much more significant.
Born in 1971, M.C. Questgend traveled the country with his parents as a military brat. Settling in Texas where he was first introduced to alternative lifestyles, he was able to finish high school and continue his new "hobby" in college. After college, he and "she" returned to start a family, but the strain of his "secret" was too much for his now ex-wife. Married a second time was not the answer, so M.C. has transferred the stress to the pen and keyboard. Writing erotic stories - some loosely based on his and "her" life as well as stories involving aspects of the LGBT community, a community and lifestyle he has come to privately embrace. M.C. Questgend is a pen name used to protect his privacy and anonymity. The intent was to write stories that entertain, inspire and motivate - which are as much sensual and heartwarming as they are sexual and explicit.
