Thank you for your insightful review. I was not sure if I wanted to read this book or not, but you convinced me to at least give it a try. I appreciate the fact that it is a short story collection.

I absolutely love reading short stories, and this one sounds exceptionally intriguing to me. The way the author portrays relationships with such raw humanity and without any over-dramatization is what captivates me the most. I am confident that this reading would be incredibly engaging for me.

These short stories are fascinating thus far. I do agree that there is some erotic, cautious content, so read at your own risk. I'm eager to read more of the stories and see what lies ahead. Thank you for writing a captivating review, Hannah!

A mindful anthology on human nature and sexuality is rare. This book sounds like an exploration of the emotions behind sex and that makes it stand out. Impactful short stories with well-developed characters promise a great reading experience. Congrats on BOTD.

Thank you for sharing this detailed and eloquent review. It certainly encourages readers to pick up the book. I appreciate the content warning.

Thank you for your thorough and extensive review on "Loverless Love" by Christopher Guerin. I love reading short stories for a change and since the subject is learning about the sexual relationships of couples my interest was piqued. We can always learn something from research. In this case the subject is a bit more interesting to me. Thank you for the heads up that you give about sensitive themes. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

I haven't read a book on human nature in the context of its relation to sex and romance yet. What catches my attention the most is that this is a series of stories touching on romance, life, and sex and how they intertwine in the lives of people like you and me.

Christopher Guerin's collection of short stories, Loverless Love, explores the connection between romantic love and human nature. Indeed, love isn't the only reason for having sex. Different emotions are brought on by sex, including passion, jealousy, and hatred. How the author mixes tales of sex and love intrigues me. It appears that this book touches on the subject of humanity. Review writing is excellent.Best congratulations to the writer on BOTD!

Loverless Love by Christopher Guerin, an anthology of short stories all with the same theme on sexuality and humanity, sounds pretty interesting. This topic can be complex if not written tastefully. Your review is elaborate and insightful. Thank you !

As a sensitive reader who steers clear from vivid descriptions of sexual content and erotica, I appreciate the reviewer thoroughly clarifying that aspect. I, however, like the author's style of creating different stories with different aspects of love, which is able to serve a variety of readers who are interested in these types of romance stories.
