My only complaint about this book is that there doesn’t seem to be any normal kind of guys who rise to heroic deeds. The male protagonists are way larger than life, reveling in physical mayhem and then showing up in a silk shirt with passionate plans.
The stories are harder to believe than the sword and sorcery or space operas that I prefer. That doesn’t mean that the books won’t cause heaving bosoms and shortness of breath in the gender targeted audience. (I don’t think I have ever typed the word bosom before.)
What is truly dismaying is that I didn’t find the book repugnant. I enjoyed the stories. I can’t decide if this means that I am a manly man in touch with my feminine side or a major woos. (Word defined woos as to woo, but the Urban dictionary clearly states woos is a synonym for wimp.) I am sure you can guess which description I favor. (at least in my own mind.)
I recommend the book.

thanks for sharing our anthology with others. I"m laughing over your "woos" comment.
We all have a strong male readership (many who are military), plus Sherri and I have a former Special Forces operative who is one of our technical advisors on our books. He started out reading some passages for accuracy and couldn't put them down. Now he reads all our BAD Agency stories, so you're in good manly man company.
Thanks again for being a reader and for being honest. I'll pass this on to the other authors in the anthology as I'm sure they'll appreciate it as well. :)
One of the best things about blogging is the personal touch from the authors of the books. One sent an autographed copy to an 11 year old girl who reviewed her book for me. The act, let alone the book, made Rachel's day.
Luddites insist technology is driving us apart. My response is balderdash! (always loved that word)
Technology has allowed us to communicate with those we may never have known before. Thank you Dianna for your comment and thank you for reading my blog. Responses such as yours are what keeps me reading, reviewing and writing.
