What woman wouldn't want
a guy with a voice like Sean
Connery, the toe-curling good looks of Denzel Washington and the
stamina of
Superman? What ever happened to on-time deliveries?
Colonel Martini "Marti"
Harmon's been fighting
alien invaders for five miserable years on the outer rim of
civilization,
overseeing mop-up operations and nary a worthy male in sight. She's
desperate
for a chance to release some of that pent up frustration with a guy
who's not
intimidated by her Amazon reputation and the gorgeous body that come
along with
the package.
Only a M.A.N. (a
Mechanical Anatomically-correct Nurturer,
with Artificial Intelligence) can satisfy her intense, sensual hunger.
But,
some incompetent fool at M.A.N.-Kind screwed up her order. Her nerves
are shot,
her patience ran out long ago, and she's determined to get her money's
worth…
Ms. Anthony combines
talented story telling and a humorous
twist of stereotype to create this must-read tale! Marti is strong, but
not unbelievable.
She's a gal who knows what she wants, and isn't afraid to take it. Yet
she also
yearns for what most of us want: to be loved for herself and to have
someone to
hold her, something to look forward to when she comes home on leave.
This warms
the reader to her, admiring her strength, yet understanding her deeper
humanity.
Denzel may be more than
"merely mortal", but he's
still got a heart, and Marti's more than enough to make it beat double
time.
He's wary, but with reason. He fears rejection for his cyborg nature
and wants
a chance, too.
I loved this launch to
the Women of Steel series and have read it more than
once. If you like
it hot, funny and positively addicting, then this is for you!
