Totally worth the price

I would have to agree with one of the review that said that Sherrilyn Kenyon's "BAD to the Bone" was pretty terrible. I just couldn't get involved with the story it was so far fetched. In addition to which, neither of the characters were particularly engaging.

However, Nicole Camden's "The Nekkid Truth" was really interesting and unusual. I liked both of the characters in this story and really got the attraction between them.

The middle story, Liz Caryle's "Lets Talk About Sex", was good enough to sell the whole book to me. I adored Nick Woodruff, the absolutely ultimate charming and sincere hero. I wish this man was real and that he was mine! I can't say enough great things about him. Dr. Delia Sydney was also really great. They were completely wonderful together and the love scenes positively burned the pages; not, however, in an unnatural or forced way. As soon as I finished it I read it again, it was that good.

So, despite the bad beginning I LOVED this book. Totally worth the price.

Blistering.

Whether they are in uniform or not, these men have burning needs just like any other . . . men . . . and BIG GUNS OUT OF UNIFORM's men burn hot and spicy!

Book 1 -
Sherrilyn Kenyon: "BAD To The Bone." - Grade: B
Marianne Webernec viewed herself as painfully average and her mother's words "about acceptance and it could be worse" did little to console. So, today . . . eagerly . . . Marianne would walk on the wild side! As the grand prize winner in the Hideaway Heroine Sweepstakes Contest, Marianne Webernec would experience her ultimate fantasy. She would become her all-time favorite romance heroine and finally live life savagely!
Highly trained as a special covert agent, Kyle Foster was everything Marianne deemed perfect. Kyle Foster was the ultimate pipe dream. He had electric blue eyes, and he was handsome, rugged, and blessed with a hunky hero body. Too bad, he was not part of the Hideaway Sweepstakes winner's package!

Suddenly, six boring weeks of R&R were starting to revitalize Kyle Foster! Normally, Marianne Webernec was not the type who drew his attention, yet the little schoolteacher from Peoria, Illinois was everything he wanted! And he would savor the challenge she offered!

*** Comments: Normally, stories found in an anthology format suffer from the "lack of room" quandary. Not here! Sherrilyn Kenyon successfully maneuvers around this dilemma. BAD TO THE BONE is cute, sexy, and adventitiously humorous; unfortunately, the ending is a bit much . . . corny!

Book 2 -
Liz Carlyle: "Let's Talk About Sex." - Grade: A-
Sex is what people loved to talk about and radio talk host Dr. Delia Sydney successfully gave it to them. Yet, this mild-mannered, recently divorced college professor found herself trapped in a very ordinary lifestyle. Ordinary as in "hellish!" Her car was junk, she had "big-time" financial woes, and her ex-husband was a real jerk. Ok . . . Delia Sydney's life needed a little jumpstart and who better to "jump" than her neighbor - Sergeant Nick Woodruff?

Virile-looking, Nick Woodruff was uncomplicated and straightforward. His working, warrior type hands screamed manly and primitive! What a pleasing change from the stuffed shirts that normally surrounded Delia! Still, she was afraid. Once-bitten, twice shy kind of afraid! She was afraid she was going to get her heart broken.

Nick Woodruff wanted pleasure and satisfaction and Delia Sydney was a natural. She was special and he wanted her! Still, something else was happening! His feelings for the little psychology professor were becoming very serious. A deadly, scary type of serious! Could Delia Sydney be THE woman?

*** Comments: Having recently "re-discovered" Liz Carlyle, LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX is the reason I bought this anthology. And again, Ms. Carlyle did not disappoint me! LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX is fun, sexy as hell, and it has Sergeant Nick Woodruff! Despite the fact, the ending seemed rushed; Liz Carlyle still puts out a winner!

Book 3 -
Nicole Camden: "The Nekkid Truth." - Grade: B-
Five years ago, a police patrol car knocked Debbie Valley to the pavement. The complication? The violent event left Debbie's brain traumatized and took away her ability to recognize human faces.
As a passenger in the patrol car, Detective Marshall Scott suffered lasting guilt. So, when they released Miss Debbie Valley from the hospital, the detective got Debbie her job. She was the departmental crime scene photographer.

For four long years, Debbie Valley lusted after Detective Marshall Scott. Then one night the man finally responded and Debbie's wait was extraordinarily answered. Detective Marshall Scott was one hot man!

*** Comments: Written in the first person, Nicole Camden's THE NEKKID TRUTH is definitely modish and unique. However, the sex flows too raw and too bawdy, causing the romance to break down.

A sensual feast for readers

In Sherrilyn Kenyon's BAD TO THE BONE, high school teacher Marianne Webernec wins a publisher's contest and gets to act out her favorite romance novel for a month on an exclusive private island. Playing a femme fatale secret agent and acting out scenes with a gorgeous actor playing her favorite hero should have been a dream come true. Halfway through her stay, however, Marianne is bored silly and sneaks off into an off-limits part of the island. In the midst of blowing up sand castles to amuse himself while on a forced leave of advance, BAD (short for the Bureau of American Defense, a secret government agency) agent Kyle Foster spots and rescues a woman on the beach just as the explosives are about to go off. Instant attraction springs between Kyle and Marianne, but she is quickly whisked away by her contest sponsors. Determined to see her again, Kyle decides to add a wildcard (namely himself) into her scripted fantasy. Soon the two are on the run and falling in love -- but is it the real thing or just a product of their imagination?

Loving thy neighbor reaches new heights in Liz Carlyle's LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX. While her new talk show may be gathering momentum, Dr. Delia Sydney's real life is a shambles. Recently divorced, Delia has been left with a huge monstrosity of a house she can't afford, a barely working car, and -- after all her trees are cut down by the power company -- an unobstructed view of her maddeningly sexy neighbor's house. Nick Woodruff isn't looking to get involved, but he can't get the very sexy Delia out of his mind. He's hooked either listening to her dole out sexual advice on her radio program or watching her climb out of her car wearing what has to be the world's sexiest pair of heels. Determined to act like mature, horny adults, Nick and Delia decide to have a discreet, commitment-free, no holds barred, spanking optional sexual liaison. But when their hot, secret affair shows no signs of cooling off months later, a panicking Delia is set to do something that will change the stakes.

Nicole Camden's THE NEKKID TRUTH introduces us to a heroine with a very unusual condition. Years earlier, photographer Debbie Valley was struck by a patrol car and ended up in a weeks-long coma. When she awoke, Debbie no longer had the ability to recognize and remember faces, including her own. Today a successful photographer specializing in nudes, Debbie also continues to work for the San Diego police department on crime scenes -- a job originally arranged for her by the enigmatic Detective Marshall Scott, her nemesis and long the object of her desires. For years, Marshall has felt guilty for being unable to stop the accident that caused Debbie's injury. Standing aside as she dated his fellow officers, Marshall has long thought of her as off limits. That all changes when a new murder investigation forces them to work together and long suppressed feelings are finally released. As they hunt a murderer on the loose, it's up to Marshall to convince the woman he loves that her malady doesn't matter to him.

Passion in all its toe-curling, shiver-inducing diversity is explored in BIG GUNS OUT OF UNIFORM and the result is a sensual feast for readers. Sherrilyn Kenyon starts her new BAD series off with a bang (literally) with this fun frolic in the sun. Although not as emotionally satisfying as her longer titles, Ms. Kenyon's tale is full of the wacky humor and larger than life characters that have become her trademark. Meanwhile, historical author Liz Carlyle's first contemporary tale is a sizzling treat that should leave readers hot, bothered, and raring to go shoe shopping, while Nicole Camden makes a remarkable debut with a strong story featuring a truly unique heroine.
