His Sister’s Kiss by Kate Hill
Abraham Forbes made a promise to his best friend Jim while they both endured hell as POWs. He vowed to take care of Jim’s sister and young daughter if he made it out alive. Abe is a man of his word and when Jim dies he keeps his promise by traveling to North Carolina to visit Angela and young Polly Franco. He doesn’t expect Angela, Jim’s sister, to be so beautiful, but upon his first meeting he can’t help but yearn to come home to her every night for the rest of his life.

Major Pleasure by Denise A. Agnew
Jemma Teagan has been fighting an attraction to her brother’s best friend, Major Blayne Forbes, for the past two years. Ever since she’d seen the devastatingly handsome man in his dress uniform, she couldn’t stop herself from wanting him. But Jemma knows her family, especially her overprotective brothers, will never approve of Blayne as ‘relationship’ material because of his job in the Special Forces. But after an unexpected night of passion, the two have to face up to these feelings.

Charming Annie by Arianna Hart
When a terrorist group bombs the hospital where Major Annie Forbes works, she meets the most unlikely of saviors in the wounded Mason O’Keefe. Trapped and on the run from bad guys, love is sparked as adrenaline and fear flow in tandem.

Set during the Vietnam era, His Sister’s Kiss is a wonderful story. Ms. Hill does a fantastic job of bringing home the naiveté and pain of the sixties without overwhelming you with ideology. The passion and heat are sure to leave you fanning yourself, and the sweet ending will put a smile on your face. Major Pleasure was sweet, albeit slow moving. The dialogue between the two characters was very engaging, and the love scenes were hot. Jemma and Blayne make a cute couple, and it was fun to delve into their lives. Charming Annie was definitely action-packed, complete with gun toting bad guys, bombs and exploding cars. It was definitely a wild ride. If you like sex scenes while there are bullets flying around, then this is a story you will enjoy. However, even with all the action this was the weakest story of the anthology. Overall, it was nice to the see the progression of the Forbes family, and for a military anthology most of the information was accurate. As a Navy brat, this Angel was very happy about that!
