35 starsThe typical anthology fareOne story was meha minefield of pet peeves and clichesTwo stories were tolerable but same oldsame oldTwo stories were good but with way too much sex scenes for their lenghtmy biggest niggle for the whole anthology some whip wielding editor demanded to sueeze as much sex in these stories as possible or you won`t get published at least it felt that wayOne story was very good and a solid 45What was what?

Every time I read an Anthology I don't have great expectations because sometimes 1 or 2 stories are great and the rest are a disappointmentIn this case all the stories are lovely and I like them all This is the first time that I read an anthology that I'm completely happy withAlthough my two favorites were Wings of Fire by Kit Sands such a lovely sweet story the two main characters were just perfect Uniform Desires by Simone Andersoneven when the story had me in tears it was very nice indeed and the end was perfect
-
Overall not bad I do like my men in uniform and they were sweet this is a nice easy read for a lazy afternoon The only complaint I have is the excessive amount of sex in a few of the stories It sort of ruined my enjoyment of this AnthologyUniform Desires 25 starsA Ring and A Promise 5 stars Only Sam 35 starsZane's Inferno 35 stars In The Name Of The Law 4 stars Wings Of Fire 35 stars

I loved all the stories apart from In The Name Of Law All the others I really enjoyed That one fell flat for me though
-
I adore uniformed men and this anthology was a very enjoyable read for meGood selection of stories not much angst just as I like and they were all very well written My most favorite's 'Zane's Inferno' by Sara York and least favorute's 'In the Name of the Law' by Sue Holston Guess I'm just not into GFY trope
-
Very good anthology Some of the stories were weaker some of them were stronger and I particularly liked the last one That said they were all decent and I'm happy I had a chance to read this set of stories focusing on men in uniform policemen firemen military etcThanks to Devon Rhodes who provided this book as a prize from the Goodreads MM Romance Group's celebration event

Uniform Desires by Simone Anderson Marine Corp sniper Cade Donovan is home on leave visiting his family The out and proud Marine can tolerate many things but not bullying Especially when it's a smaller man being ganged up on outside a bar Turns out it's Jason Carlson the younger brother of a bully who tormented kids in the town After coming to Jason's rescue he is immediately attracted to the handsome young man and makes his feelings know Hopes they will be returned As the two young men grow closer will Jason's brother and his terrible past come between the pair? Or will Cade's posting back to the Middle East stop what may be a happily ever after? This is a nicely told tale with strong characters and a wonderful sense of integrity showing through The theme Hero shines here and Ms Anderson has a nice feel for simplicity and straightforward storytelling I was touched with the feeling Cade showed for Jason and how it was touching without being smaltzy A Ring and A Promise by Devon Rhodes Military Academy graduates Cary Barrientos and Owen Marsh managed to forge a relationship of sorts prior to graduation But the pressures of Cary entering the Navy and Owen the Marines make any sort of future unsure at best As a last ditch measure at holding onto the man he's come to love Cary switches their Academy ringsIs there a future for the young men? Or will the pressure of DADT keep them from being happy?Ms Rhodes crafted a lovely tale here with honest emotion running through both men The pressures of military life threaten the two and the fine line between duty honor and commitments of the heart is explored very well I was moved that the story did not resolve in a day and that the characters had to work to ensure their happy ending Very well doneOnly Sam by Em Woods When Dylan Brooks' restaurant goes up in flames firefighter Sam Carter is there to help put the blaze out Turns out he's been visiting it for months and has a 'thing' for DylanThe two begin to see each other in the aftermath of the fire and get close But will their lives be in danger after it's determined the fire was deliberately set and the arsonist isn't finished?This tale was done nicely Ms Woods told a complete story with an economy of words and made me care about Dylan first and foremost The two men fit together well from the start and the tension only adds to the story Sam is a great character; I'd love to read about these guysZane's Inferno by Sara York Firefighter Zane Wilson was trapped in a fire and treated on the scene by paramedic Nick Dubois Then he's kissed crazy by him in the locker room He didn't even know the man noticed himThe two are soon dating then living together But when it's Nick who's trapped in a forest fire will the two find their happiness is short lived?This is a great story of two men who hit it off immediately and go full steam ahead Ms York dove right in with them and took us right along with them as they fall into love and passion A nicely told story of two men who 'get' each other and know what they wantIn the Name of the Law by Sue HolstonBalti Detective Mitch Dawson is in love with his partner Ivan Stanislav The problem? Ivan is straight and engaged to be married After his fiance dumps him and he goes on a drunken bender Ivan has an encounter with Mitch that never gets mentioned Maybe Ivan doesn't remember it Mitch figuresBut when Ivan is shot and nearly dies will it be too late for Mitch to tell him how he feels? Or will he chicken out one time?Probably my favorite of the stories Ms Holston gives us a hard premise one secret crush and one straight man So many things could have gone wrong here but her strong hand kept the story moving believable and interesting Mitch is Everyman but a hero too BravoWings of Fire by Kit SandsTrapped upside down in his wrecked car Jamie Peele thinks he sees and angel coming for him Only later when he goes to the fire station to thank his rescuers does he find out his angel is just that Salvatore Angelico Will he find true happiness? Or once be left with a broken heart? A truly sweet tale of a man with a past who meets the man of his dreams Nicely told by Ms Sands sentimental and just plain good Strong men stronger attraction I wanted to know these guysOverall a very strong anthology I would be proud to know any one of these heroesTom
