Taste the gunpowder. Swallow the blood. Feel the heat.
Out of Control: Hot, Trashy Man-on-Man Erotica is about love gone wrong: love with the wrong man at the wrong time and the wrong place that takes you places you never dreamed you'd go—not even in your hottest, wrongest wet dream.
Out of Control features over-the-top tales of the wild evening that turned into several wild days, the date that turned psychosexual, the perfect lover that turned obsessive, crazed, and vengeful. It's about road trips full of fast cars and bumpy rides, and lots of beautiful man-on-man, out-of-control, hard-core sex. The stories in this anthology are wild, original, imaginative, crazy, sexy, graphic, kinky, and surprising—the stuff of some sweet dreams and also a few nightmares. Will they be your nightmare, sweet dream, or wet dream? That depends on you.

"Definitely not for the faint of heart, this collection provides some ecstatically sexual highs and lows and is perfect for erotic-fiction fans and "one-handed" readers whose kinky, latent fetishes are in need a jump-start."
—Jim Piechota, Bay Area Reporter
