I liked three out of four of these stores. But when you get the book here, you don't mind skipping one.

I really enjoyed all four stories in this Anthology. All were new to me, and while they were short stories they were complete in their storyline. I recommend it!

Two good stories, two VVEERRRYYYY good stories. Action, mystery -try it, you'll like it!

4 great authors. Angela Knight's was my favorite. Gotta like women who kick ass & take names. Fun book.

I didn't like the story by Jacey Ford, but the others were well written and fun. I especially liked the sci-fi story, by Knight; it's amazing she could create such a tangible world in a short story.

Stories in this book are excellent, ones I had not read anywhere else.

four quick easy reads with interesting storylines. I liked Shayne's the best.

I thought it was just okay.

Silly.

I like to buy anthologies to get a taste of an author's voice before venturing into longer works. Since this one had four authors I've always wanted to try, it was an easy one to pick up. Three of the four stories make me hungry to seek out the author's other work, and for that, it definitely deserves its four stars.

First in line, Shayne's is the easiest to get drawn into, as the heroine is as clueless as the reader at the start of the story. It's action-packed and tightly written, and probably the most accessible of the four stories.

Davidson provides the fastest read, as well as the funniest. Some of the Buffy references started to get a little too much, but I haven't laughed that much at a shorter length work in a long time.

Angela Knight's "Warfem" was the most difficult story for me to get into, as I'm not usually as keen on sci-fi, especially futuristic. However, once I got past the dense world-building of the beginning, I discovered this one had by far the biggest emotional payoff, as well as my favorite hero of the entire anthology.

Ford's story completes the round-up, but for what it's worth, should have been left behind. The supermodel/spy combo was grating, as were a lot of the details. I mean, really, a Secret Agent's Handbook that she carries around like a paperback?

Still, considering I now have proof I absolutely need to read Shayne's, Davidson's, and Knight's longer works, the book is more than worth it.

Angela Knight tells all in her sexually charged stories. I collect them all, and fold the corners to re-read the steamy pages!

If you like silly fluff, then you'll like these stories. The only one that I would even consider recommending is the on by Davidson. That's because it is rather funny. But it could have been so much better. I guess maybe I expected too much from short stories, but I've read all these author's novels and have really liked most of them. I would say pass on this one. 1 1/2 stars (barely!)
