A magical moment.
A single night.
A collection of stories about first kisses, second chances, kinky explorations, and having the confidence to ask for what you want.
Five whirlwind relationships celebrating queer bodies and queer love.
Waiting for You: Taylor has been pining for his best friend, Julio, for most of his life. But he knows that he’s too big, too fat, and too plain to ever appeal. It doesn't help that his secret desires for lace, makeup, and submission don't match his outsides at all. He could never catch Julio’s eye, could he? (MM, friends-to-lovers)

**************************
Game for You: Ben and Parker have been circling each other for years in a frenzy of insane dares and sexual innuendo. But as two Doms, they know they could never get together.

Back for You: When Nina was betrayed by her teenaged crush at their all-male boarding school, she vowed to move on in her life. She transitioned to being the woman she always knew she was and didn’t look back. But when she meets a gorgeous new customer, it takes only a moment to recognize those eyes.

Time for You: Charlie knows that she’s too old and grumpy for someone like Carla. He’s young, dapper, confident, and most of all, just as butch as she is. It’s easier to just ignore his flirting and push away any hope for something between them. What would that even look like? When Carla asks her out, Charlie has to decide. Can she take the risk to not only trust Carla, but explore sides of herself she never dared to face? And if she does, will Carla still want her? This story contains shibari and first-time submission. (XX, friends-to-lovers, younger Dom/older sub)
**************************
The first three stories (Waiting for You, Here for You, and Game for You) were previously available as separate books.
My Rating - 5 Stars!
**************************
Both men are lovable. Taylor's overweight, looks like a bear, but doesn't have the mindset of a bear. He prefers femme clothing, including lace, as he enjoys being pretty. I love these two friends who have secret desires that perfectly compliment one another. Their story is full of heat, including BDSM, spanking, and bondage.
**************************
In Here for You we get a stupendous BDSM romance between Micah and Eric.
Micah has a secret desire to be dominated, held down, and taken by multiple men at the same time. Being transgender, he's always struggled with baring both himself and his desires. He also has a physical disability caused by his cerebral palsy, which is well written and explored.
Eric's a Dom who is able to give Micah everything he's ever wanted. And oh my, I just love him and his connection to Micah.
Their story is multi-layered with characters full of pain and doubts. The plot is serious, yet fun. And be ready for some serious heat!

**************************
In Game for You, we get a fabulous menage romance between Ben, Parker, and Dakota.
Ben and Parker are great friends, both in love with each other, but sexually incompatible. Both are Doms, and soon they find the answer to their problems in Dakota.
With Ben and Dakota immediately attracted across the bar, things get fun.
In general, there's a lot going on in this story. Ben's biracial, never fitting in fully, always just seen as a black guy. Parker's trans and has been abused and disowned by his family. And Dakota is intersex. I love how all are explored.
The gender identity issues are in full force throughout and make this story extra special.
**************************
In Back to You we a second chance romance between two trans women, Angel and Nina.
The two have a messy past, and a lot of new things to unveil about themselves. Their tale involves some forgiveness and a new chance.
I love how their kinks align, including roleplay and a foot fetish, which is rare to see in a book.
This story involves two POC in this hot, erotic, and sweet tale.
**************************
In Time For You, we finally get to see Charlie finds love, with the trivia guy Carla.
Charlie's a butch queer, while Carla's a transgender man. It's cute and sweet, as Carla finally gets Charlie on board with a date.
Charlie's interested, but is full of doubts, all because Carla loves kink and she's never been involved with kink before. Charlie has a lot of baggage and has a journey to get past it.
Their tale is hot and intense, with everyone accepting each other. It's fun, playful, and passionate and a lot of fun.
I love how Charlie can trust Carla. They understand that everyone can have different feelings about their bodies. I applaud the author for the way they explore this with Charlie.
And then we get some Shibari, which is hot, but gentle and freeing. I love how Charlie discovers new likes and new things about herself.
**************************
I love the representation of varied genders, races, couplings, and gender expression. It's as varied as you'll ever get, and it's wonderful. Reese includes a variety of employment types, backgrounds, and body types.
Overall, Whirlwind is a fabulous collection of 5 stories, all of which start at the Whirlwind bar. All the people involved are part of a type group, making for plenty of fun moments.
