"Take This Man" is a well-written, easy to read collaboration of stories by various Authors. Each story gives the reader a truthful look into the minds and hearts of individuals experiencing gay romance and gay love.These stories tasteful address the societal issues, such as hate crimes; segregation and religious judgments that those involved in gay relationships deal with on a daily basis, without being bitter and defensive.The Authors do not allow the restrictive ideologies of others to effect this literary work that embraces individual pursuits of unconditional love and acceptance.I recommend this book to any reader who is open to seeing the life-giving power that resides in the incomparable state of being loved.

A great collection
A great collection of romantic stories--some were very sweet like Jernigan's Into the Dark and Archer's A Ride Home, others had a bit of an edge to it like Ripley's Unwanted Freedom. All had great sex scenes (of course!).
