"This anthology of romances, adapted from fairy tales and fables, runs the gamut: from short stories to poetry, from contemporary settings to fantasy, from humorous to serious; all of them celebrate the beauty of large, hairy men." - Library Journal, starred review
"Love's many enchantments are a recurring theme in Burly Tales, an anthology that takes a fresh look at classic fairy tales through a gay Bear lens. The results are fresh, often funny, and gratifyingly romantic." - Edge Media
