Big Guns Out of Uniform (Mass Market Paperback)

Sherrilyn Kenyon's story "BAD to the Bone" takes us to an island get away where mid-west teacher Marianne Webernec finds herself the winner of a "Hideaway Heroine Sweepstakes". She gets to live her favorite romance novel. Problem is the guy that is cast as "the hero" is a wet rag and less then romance inspiring. While on a stroll along the beach she finds herself literally swept away by a muscled yummy man Kyle Foster. Kyle is on a forced vacation in order to heal from wound that he sustained in the field. He is a Bureau of American Defense (BAD) agent and a real honest to goodness secret agent. Kyle finds himself drawn to Marianne and finds out why she's there and then kidnaps her in order to fulfill more then just her fantasy. What they find out is that truth can be sexier then fiction.

Liz Caryle's "Lets Talk About Sex" centers around Dr. Delia Sydney. She is a divorcee living in an ugly house, driving a wreck, and wishing that her life was a little more exciting. She can give great advice about relationships she just can't seem to find her own happily ever after. Then just when she thinks life can't get any worse her car breaks down in front of Nick Woodruff's house. She has already met the handsome and rugged cop and was not impressed with the first meeting. The second one does not look like it's going to be any better but then things are not always what they seem. Eventually these two find that they have a lot in common and that the attraction that they both feel can not be ignored. This was a very witty and fun read not to mention the fact that there was great chemistry that really added to the story.

Nicole Camden's "The Nekkid Truth" was different but still a fun read. Debbie Valley is a photographer that occasionally works for the local police department. Debbie was in an accident several years earlier and as a result she does not recognize faces. She even doesn't recogonize her own face. This leads her to recognize a person by identifying peoples bodies. Despite her problem she still finds herself drawn to Detective Marshall Scott. Marshall is drawn to the flirty Debbie but is not sure if a relationship between the two of them is a good idea. See he was in the car that hurt Debbie and now he is not sure if she blames him for her condition. Still despite how hard they both work to avoid the mutual attraction they find themselves getting together and eventually they quit fighting their feelings. On top of this there is an unsovled murder that Marshal is investigating and it looks like the only one that can help him solve the crime is Debbie with the use of her body recognition. This story was told from the prespective of Debbie and as a result is written in the first person. That took awile to get used to I must admit. This story would have probably been better as a full lenghth story rather then a short story but it was still worth reading. I would have liked to have seen the relationship between Debbie and Marshall as it was before the accident since I feel that it was important to how they later reacted to each other. Still this was a good effort for a first time read.

All said this was a real good book and one that I would not miss. I think that it's important for people to realize that when you read short stories like these that the stories will move at a rather fast clip and some details may be left out that would normally be included in a full lenghth title. Still if you are a fan of any of these authors it would be a crime to miss out on their latest offerings!
