Open the pages to discover what really goes down between men behind bars. In this collection of 17 short stories we read about cellmates falling in love or simply finding the protection needed. Others find themselves reaching out to connect with another in order to cope with the harsh realities of life in jail. There are stories that go back to ancient times and others that explore the American Old West. There is a little bit of everything to entertain and titillate. I began reading Love in a Lock Up expecting a hot book. I got so much more. Let’s take the sex out of the stories for a moment. What you are left with are stories with incredible plots, excellent character development and wonderful writing styles. Add the sex back in and you have a collection of stories that will have you drooling as you read. I have two stories in the collection that are my absolute favorites. Red by Kiernan Kelly is the story of a giant of a man who takes his new cellmate under his wing and under his body. My other favorite is The Goodwife of Cell Block D by Ginger Mayerson which is about two men who fall in love and are separated by prison politics and yet long to be together. Both these stories made me cry! Each story is poignant and special. Love in a Lock-Up is edited by Eric Summers who has done a wonderful job mixing the stories up and creating a flow that makes the book a fabulous read. I highly recommend it. |
