Synopsis
They're sexy. They're smart. And they aren't afraid of a little danger-not even when it comes to matters of the heart...
Four of today's hottest authors present a quartet of stories about bold women who take no prisoners-either in a fight or in love. Whether it's in the bedroom, in the outer limits of the galaxy, or out on the mean streets, they kick heart-stopping action to the next level. These are women who can hold their own and aren't to be trifled with. The men in their lives know that-and they love it...

August 16, 2005: *** La Femme Nikita fans will love Maggie Shayne's entry into this anthology, The Bride Wore a .44. A woman who can remember nothing finds her memory returning as her wedding to a man she does not love approaches, and she finds her hope chest is full of guns. Jacey Ford's Painkillers finds a model working undercover to bring down drug lords. Warfem by Angela Knight is basically PWP, best skipped, frankly. However, Mary Janice Davidson's The Misadventures of Boo and Boy Blunder is worth the price of the anthology all on its own. An albino vampire slayer finds herself with an unwanted sidekick when she is hired by an all too attractive, charming vampire stand-up comedian to kill scumbag vampires. Those who have followed the adventures of Betsy the Vampire Queen will enjoy the foreshadowing of a possible meeting between Betsy and Boo. All in all- this is a half wonderful half so so anthology, but the wonderful half makes up for the not so wonderful half. ***
Often amusing but always exciting anthologyby harstan
