I love men in uniform and was excited to see a whole anthology full of stories based on them. HIGH OCTANE HEROES: EROTIC ROMANCE FOR WOMEN edited by Delilah Devlin is a great anthology that will pull readers in with its hot and sexy characters. This book gives readers fifteen different stories. There are so many men to choose from in these stories from cops and firefighters to prison guards and all that comes in between. Each story has its merits making it hard for me to choose just one favorite out of so many. Each story gives readers an alpha male that shows us why woman and men are so drawn to them. I loved these hot and fast paced stories. I found some new authors to enjoy along with some of my old favorites. These are well written and engaging stories. All meant to entertain and entice the reader and that is just what they do.
I enjoyed reading about so many different men in uniform. Some are more hot and intense than others but that does not deter readers from their stories. While the stories are hot and sexy they give us well rounded and intense stories. I never felt as if the stories were rushed or missing things. Just because the anthology is full of alpha males it does not mean that the women are pushovers. We get women who are more than capable of taking on these heroes and giving just as good as they get.
With all the choices in this book there is bound to be a story for every reader. I found myself so drawn into some of these stories that I can only hope that some of the authors will continue on with the worlds that they introduced us to in this anthology. I enjoyed HIGH OCTANE HEROES and would love to see more from these authors.

Or is it the courage they display, wading in where others fear to go, to save the damsel, the city, the Earth? Are there real-life heroes who inspire the same lustful fascination? Kickass iconic heroes who enter danger zones in the name of duty, honor, country--or maybe love--who conjure images of hard, chiseled bodies, deadly glares and camouflaged features? Sex Objects will satisfy the reader who craves the romantic idea of that "super alpha" man. Imagine the Navy SEAL sent on a suicide mission; the damaged Army Ranger home from war; the para rescue team member jumping into frigid waters; a SWAT team member entering a human trafficker's den... military members and based in far-flung places around the world or the smoke-jumper living next door. Then imagine the romantic possibilities of being held against that massively muscled chest by a man whose mission is to protect and serve...
