Erotic Military Romance

Serviced: Volume 1

All's fair in love and war, they say. Come find out if it's true in these ten stories where soldiers prove that their skills in the field are only rivaled by their skills in the bedroom.

Since this is a large anthology I hope to break it into an overall review  as well as an individual  short review of each story.  After all with short reads just talking about them can possibly spoil the whole story.  HAHAHA!  I promise to not give any spoilers.

Being an anthology there are some stories that kept me hooked while others not as much. But I truly enjoyed all of them! All of them were good to amazing reads! That's what I love about anthologies. You get an assortment to sample much like a box of chocolates.  In this one you get a great selection! The lowest I rated a story was 3 stars with the majority at 4 and 5's! Since I love picking up anthologies that's pretty amazing compared to some of the others I've bought that have let me down. This one was a pleasant surprise. I even have at least one other book to read and review that written by one of the authors in this. I have 1 more in front of it I believe and I'm excited to get to it! SO not only did I enjoy this anthology I'm reading their other works too!


If you like military romance filled with all the hot whirlwind love it's definitely worth the time and the price!
I definitely recommend you pick up this one! 

Averaging them all together to find my rating I give this one

FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY by ALLIE A BURROW




 



 I really enjoyed the story of Kate and Mark. Not only do you have the building emotions between these two but it's funny, sweet, exciting, and HOT! I love so many moments in this one but I think my favorite is the train ride home. That was 100% awesome!!!  It's filled with plenty of hot scenes packed into a great short story with a lot of romance that will make you swoon. 
Kate Powell only went and fell for the soldier she’d met just once before he had to jet off on a year-long posting overseas.

Seven months in, and Kate is hornier than a blue wildebeest in mating season with only her battery-powered friend for relief. Her skills as a pen-pal scale new heights, but then a text message arrives out of the blue.

Corporal Mark Butler is back in the country for one night only, and Kate isn’t about to let the opportunity pass her by. After all, who needs a vibrator when the real thing comes calling?


OVER A DEAD BODY by LEONA J BUSHMAN




This story does have a quick little mystery, romance and a Hot love scene.


Riker thought he'd be meeting a friend and instead found him dead. When NCIS is called in, Riker's ex is there, looking as hot as ever. Even though the sight of her forced him to realize how much he missed her and wanted her, meeting her over a dead body with blood on his hands made it unlikely he'd get what he wanted—Edie.

Edie loved her job as a lead NCIS investigator, but why did it have to be Riker who found this murdered person? Riker had left her a few weeks before marriage, spouting logic and distance. Her heart remained cold, but her body steamed when he touched her.

Could she clear his name and forgive him or would the killers get to him first?


REDS, WHITES, and BLUES by MICKEY J. CORRIGAN
 



This one made me sigh an audible,"Awe Babes" Causing my husband to turn around and ask me what. So of course I had to read it to him and we both liked this sweet spicy read. It's a man looking back on the first time he met the young women who became his wife.  It's a very short spicy yet sweet read.

He was stationed in Key West during the Vietnam War when he met the arty girl who didn't capitalize her name. She was cute, but strange, the kind of a hippie chick who usually shunned soldiers like himself. But sometimes opposites attract. Sometimes they have sex on the beach. And sometimes you can't forget them.

LEAVE TAKING by ANGELICA DAWSON



 This one is a  cute and sweet short read!

Will has a surprise for his wife for the tenth anniversary.

He's coming home.


FIRST DATE – THE ITALIAN COLONEL by JESABELLE JONES

 
As short as this is it sure is HOT and Naughty! If there is a second date I want to read it!

There are fireworks when horny English nanny, Leonie, meets squadron commander, Colonel Luca Giordano - the sex is hot, and it's only the first date.
MAJOR'S MINAH by RAVEN McALLAN






Oh I bet these two would be fun to read more about! It's a bit naughty, romantic, and spicy. Her writing was elegant too! It's been a while since I've read naughty mingled with elegance. 

Oliver knew his duty, he needed a wife and heir. Minah knew what she wanted—him. Could his ideals and her dreams be the same? There was only one way to find out...

KNOCK OUT by NATALIA PETROVSKII

 


Well if you can't get sweaty with the one you want I guess sparring with them is the next best thing! Oh this one had a few sinfully yummy parts in it too. It's a work romance and they are certainly naughty at the office! And everywhere else too!


Warrant Officer Ryan Wilson is handsome and arrogant and Corporal Nicole Muchmore enjoys taking out her frustration against him on the sparring mat. One day the tables turn and before she knows what is happening he is exacting a punishment of another kind-this time totally pleasurable.

A CHANCE AT LOVE by SHELLI ROSEWARNE

 



   
This is sad and sweet romantic story.  But at least the death of her brother brought her the man she fell in love with!
Corporal Aidan Hamilton has the unenviable job of telling his best friend’s sister that her brother isn’t coming back. This is slightly complicated by the fact that from the moment he meets Suzanne Kelsey he knows she’s everything he’s ever wanted. While Suzanne might need someone to lean on at the moment, can he convince her that what they have is more than a short term fling?

Suzanne had always told her big brother that being a soldier was too dangerous, so when she sees the uniformed officer in front of her house she knows exactly what he’s here to tell her. While Aidan may set her blood on fire, Suzanne has already lost one soldier she loved and she’s not prepared to trust her heart to another one.


TAKING COMMAND by ZARA STONELEY



 A woman who takes what she wants keeps a soldier from letting her go! 


Mike Sands knows that loving a soldier can lead to heartache, so when he falls hard for his best mates little sister he knows he has to walk away.

But can Jade let him, when one taste has left her desperate for more? Or dare she take command of the situation and prove to both of them that maybe what they have is worth taking a risk over?

Sometimes one night of passion is not enough, sometimes you just have to stop thinking about the future and live in the present.


RIDING OUT THE STORM by NATALIA PETROVSKII



Who doesn't like having a little snow as a reason two people get thawed out and warmed up?

Corporal Anna Jordan keeps her secret fantasies about her superior officer, Lieutenant Kyle Campbell, well hidden. When the two must take shelter from a winter storm during a training exercise she has no idea her wildest dreams are about to come true!

  1. Thank you so much for your review! I especially appreciate the breakdown. Sometimes one doesn't know in an anthology if you're pulling your weight. It's great to see we all brought an equally enticing heat to this anthology.

    1. I think everyone pulled their weight in this baby! Even my 3 stars are only 3 stars just because those were not my type of stories really but I still liked them. I would still read other works by all of you. You all did such an amazing job!

  2. Thank you for the wonderful review, especially with so much chaos going on around you!

    For anybody thinking of buying a copy of Serviced, you'd be supporting a great cause too as I am donating all royalties for my story - For One Night Only - to Help For Heroes.
