Men of Courage II contains stories by three of the heavy hitters in women's romance today - Lori Foster, Donna Kauffman and Jill Shalvis.

Lori Foster's AN HONORABLE MAN has Lt. Col. Hamilton Wulf trying to win the love of Liv Avery, the only woman he has ever wanted to call his own. Liv has reservations because of Ham's dedication to the Air Force, the same dedication that kept her father from being a part of her life. Ham is so sweet in his determined pursuit of Liv that you can't help but hope she will give in and accept his love.

Donna Kauffman's BLOWN AWAY gives an inside look at storm chasers Cooper Harrison and Marty McKenna, two very gutsy and determined individuals who shared intimacies years before. The two of them have never forgotten each other; it seems that fate is determined to bring them together once again.

Jill Shalvis' contribution of PERILOUS WATERS is the story of copter pilot Wyatt Stone and reporter Leah Taylor. The two of them were sweethearts several years before and Leah broke Wyatt's heart when she left for higher aspirations in New York City. Now she's back, and Wyatt wishes she had stayed in New York . . . or does he? After saving her life during a violent storm, he's not so sure.

These three stories are all very sweet with comfortable characters; all three have just enough heat to keep things hot. I am sure you won't be disappointed, these three authors always please their readers.

Men of Courage 2 is an anthology that has stories by Lori Foster, Donna Kauffman, and Jill Shalvis. It is one of the best anthologies that I've read. Lori Foster's story is my favorite, but Jill Shalvis's story is great too. I liked Donna Kauffman's story the least. They are all also pretty much reunion stories, and I love reunion stories!

In Lori Foster's story, An Honorable Man, Lieutant Colonel Ham Wulf comes back for the woman he loves, Liv Amery. They have known each other for years and have been friends for years as well, but Liv doesn't want to share a man with the military. Her father was in the military, and he never showed her much affection and attention so she wants to avoid being married to a military husband who does the same thing. But Ham is determined that he will win her over no matter what it takes. I loved me some Ham, he is terrific!!!!

In Donna Kauffman's Blown Away, Marty McKenna and Cooper Harrison are on the run from a tornado and are hiding out in a storm shelter. Six years ago, they had a fling and then they both went their separate ways, but now they are thrown together again. Both of them are in the same town for a friend's wedding, but Cooper has been sent to rescue Marty when he car gets trapped in a flood. When he finally finds her a tornado is bearing down on them, and they end up in a storm shelter. Old flames are rekindled in the dark.

In Jill Shalvis's Perilous Waters, Leah Taylor comes back to her hometown and takes a job as a reporter. She meets up with her old boyfriend and helicopter pilot, Wyatt Stone. Leah broke his heart years ago when she left town and went off to college and to travel the world. Leah knows that she made a mistake leaving, and wants to make a fresh start with Wyatt. Wyatt has been in love with Leah for years, and he knows that she has the power to break his heart again so he tries to put distance between them. That is until a storm requires him to rescue her when she gets trapped on a houseboat. Leah and Wyatt will have to weather the storm together, and they won't be able to go anywhere until the storm passes. But can they weather their feelings for each other as well. 5 stars!
