The <em>Portals</em> crew hopes to have <em>Volume Three</em> fully available on all sites for <u>free</u> by the launch date of June 14, 2016!<br />
<br />
Our previous two volumes have been extremely popular with SFR readers, garnering some very high sales rankings and breaking into several<strong> Amazon Top Ten</strong> lists in the last three weeks!<br />
<br />
The gold volume features stories with less heat and/or a sweeter romantic side than the medium heat level of stories in Volume One (<span style="color: blue;"><strong>Blue</strong></span>) or the hotter offerings in Volume Two (<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Red</span></strong>). <br />
<br />
As with past volumes, some of these stories are <strong><u>Award Winners</u></strong> or <strong><u>award finalists</u></strong>, so don't miss this one!<br />
<br />
We're sure <em>Portals Volume Three</em> will continue to delight, amuse and excite readers with ten <em>new</em> science fiction romance story beginnings penned by the following authors:<br />
