Rating: 5 out of 5

So I received an email the other day asking if I would read this anthology and give it an honest rating: I (not being stupid) agreed to do so and have been thanking my lucky stars since.  This is a collection of 9 full length novels (over 4,000 pages) that is about strong, capable women that kick booty and take control of the chaos surrounding them.  I would be thrilled to have any of these women watching my back.  They run the gamut from a romance writer on the run to mafia princesses, search and rescue worker, and law enforcement.  These are no cookie cutter women and that is what makes this anthology stand out.There are heroes in the novels of course, but these novels are more about the women than the men.  Some have romance scenes in them, others it is implied, and still others have none.  In the end, it is not about the romance or lack of romance that draws you. It is the women’s stories that will grab you, and it is the women’s stories that will affect you (i.e. Ever Hopeful by Lori Ryan is about domestic abuse).  Dale Mayer’s story (Hide’n Go Seek) is more of a psychological thriller with a hint of the paranormal. Kathryn James’ story takes her paranormal just a step further.  But what do all of these stories have that is the common thread?  The heroine that sticks in your mind after the book is finished.  That is what I call the definition of a successful story.  The fact that all 9 of these stories do just that is the reason why you should get your hot little hands on a copy ASAP.
