Demon Huntress has more violence that I traditionally see in romance, and has a rape scene in it. It's a very good story that will have you on the edge of your seat, but also leaves you hanging at the end. Perhaps there's a sequel in the future?

With Great Power, Brenna Lyons
Julien is born into a society that has rules about mutants and their powers. Anyone born with these powers must serve the people as a type of enforcer, whether they want to or not. He forcibly taken from his mother at a very young age and put into a school because of his strong talent, and now he's in charge of his own squad at a very young age. When he meets Angel, he starts to wonder if everything he's grown up with is really the only way the world could be.

With Great Power explores the world of a super hero that is forced to serve, rather than volunteering their time. It's an interesting twist on the typical superhero story, and I couldn't put it down until I was done.

Heroes Incorporated; Joy Nash
Blossom is attracted to guys that should be on the cover of a magazine, and she's not afraid to admit it. She's also obsessed with superheroes, particularly superman. She works in a computer company with a bunch of geeks, and has definitely decided that is last thing she wants. When she meets Clark, she's convinced that he's just another geek and tries to avoid him.

Clark has an assignment. He's a superhero that has the ability to use his mental powers to program and hack into computers. He's trying to save the world, but in order to do that he has to seduce Blossom and release her powers. How is he going to do that when she can't see him as anything but a geek?

Excellent story about a woman who thinks that she can only see the surface features of men. When she meets Clark she's attracted, but fights it because he's just a geek. Cute and funny, Hero's Incorporated is not a story to be missed

Silk; Michelle pillow
Quinlan is trying to find the person who killed her father. In order to do that, she's set a trap to catch them. She's donating her father's work to a museum, and hopes to bring out the killer by pretending she is going to sell her fathers formula. Little does anyone know she has been injected with the formula and has powers of her own.

Nikandros has been sent to find out what Quinlan intends to do with her fathers formula. When he meets her, he's attracted to her in a way he hasn't felt in a long time. But he's got secrets of his own to keep.

Silk is an intense story that is about a woman who is trying to make a difference. I really enjoyed the interaction of the two characters; they each had their own agenda to follow. The chemistry between Quinlan and Nikandros is hotter than hot, and the sex sizzles.

The whole anthology was an out of this world experience. I liked all the stories in it, and none of it disappointed me. They are all very different stories, with one common theme… special people that only want to help. If you are looking for something a little different and exciting, give Ultimate Warriors a try.
