This is an anthology book full of quick, sexy reads starring men in different types of uniform. Policeman, Fireman, Military, etc.

Most of these were heavy on the sex and light on the story but Kate Meader’s contribution, Coming in Hot stood out the most to me. Perhaps it’s because this is a short story that features characters from her Hot in Chicago series (that I LOVED) and so I already felt connected to the characters, but she managed to develop Evie and Tyler’s story in a way that it felt complete to me. She also did the virgin firefighter storyline really well and it wasn’t completely unrealistic or even the slightest bit cheesy.

Overall, I think this is a great anthology to pick up to have on hand for those times when you’re in the mood for a quick, hot read but don’t want to dive into a full novel.

Honestly, this was not a favorite of mine. .I'm having a hard time enjoying most of the stories in this anthology. I just couldn't connect with some of the stories. But because it is an anthology they are quick reads and many in the book. I did enjoy most of them.

Wow! If you love a man in uniform and off the charts heat then you'll love this set!! I wanted to read it for Rebecca Royce and Tuna Donahue and wasn't disappointed by any of the others. The stories are set all over but they all have one thing in common the men are hot and you'll need a fan! Definite must read!!

I haven't had the chance to read all the stories included in this anthology but from the four I have read I can tell you this one is well worth the price. Each of these stories has a differing degree of steam but they are all hot, fun, quick reads that will have your toes curling with sexy uniform wearing heroes. From firefighters to Navy SEAL's and everything in between you can't go wrong. I definitely recommend this one.

This is an amazing and fun anthology, and as a woman, I can't help but love me some men in uniform (any uniform), so this anthology was right up my alley. I have only read one of these authors before so this was like an introductory anthology to eight new authors.

These stories all have wonderful characters, fun plots, humor, heat and sassy dialogue. I loved each read and was so happy to be able to finish the short reads while in line, waiting for appointments, at lunch. I devoured this anthology in one day. If I am honest I am also a bit bummed I didn't have the patients to make it last; but there is always the re-read.

Now, my review is of my feelings and thoughts about each story (rather then an overview), because each needs to be read without spoilers. In this anthology you get the following stories:

Ready for Trouble by Tina Donahue: This story was very cute and funny. I loved the humor and lightheartedness this story contained, it was heart warming. I also loved the instant respect that was between these two main characters. Steam and love made this story, 5 stars.

Always Ready by Kimberly Nee: Wowzers, this story was hot, with a military man no less. What more could one want?! The title really says it all… I loved the plot of this story and the instant chemistry. I am new to this author and really enjoyed her writing style, 4.5 stars.

The Navy Seal’s Secret Baby by Kat Baxter: This story was troupe heavy in the best of ways. Steamy and sweet, there might even have been a swoon worthy moment or two. I love me a Navy Seal and this man will be in my dreams. I loved the contrast between the two main characters, they just worked so well together. Lovely story, 4.5 stars.

Call Me Crazy by Rebecca Royce: Funny! This was a great story. As much as I love an anti-hero, its author's like this that make me fall for the hero as well. The dialogue was amazing and the story was perfect! Short but impactful, 5 stars.

Two for the Road by Bisou deVie: Gotta represent all the awesome men in uniform, and this hero is worth reading about. This read was more an adventure with romance, and was a fun read. I like the heroine as much as the hero, 4 stars.

View from the Top by Carmen Falcone: Age gap, instant heat and a interesting plot. This was a great steamy read. I really enjoyed the story and the epilogue. Alpha male who knows what he wants! Yes, please, 4 stars.

Precious Cargo by Nicole Morgan: This story was action and passion all the way. I loved the balance the author created in this short read. Loved the character's and their interactions, 4.5 stars.

Coming in Hot by Kate Meader: Yep, I totally want to help this hero out myself! I love firemen and this hero was perfect! This author did an awesome job with the characters and plot and made the story feel fresh and new. I loved it, 5 stars.

Along Came a Spider by Delilah Devlin: I have never been disappointed with a story from this author, so I already knew I was getting something good. I enjoyed this story and the passion that was involved. Fun characters and lots and lots of heat, 4.5 stars.

I sincerely hope any reader who is on the fence regarding this anthology takes the chance. While some if the stories are shorter then expected they were all wonderful to read.

This anthology is just plain great reading, with lighthearted plots, amazing characters and enough heat to burn off some of that cold weather everyone seems to be having. I received an ARC via NetGallery and I am leaving an honest review. #NetGallery #MenInUniformAnthology

This anthology is solid gold, the authors are top notch, I discovered a few I hadn’t read before and enjoyed stories from those I knew. Definite must read. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you have a weakness for hot guys wearing uniforms you want to grab this anthology right now! I loved reading the nine stories that this book contains. Fun plots, great characters and lots of steamy chemistry are blended into a deliciously entertaining romance collection. There is really something for everyone included. Themes included are: friends to lovers, opposites attract, romantic suspense, age gap, romantic comedy, surprise baby and forbidden romance. My favorite of the bunch had to be Coming in Hot by Meader. This friends-to-lovers, Firefighter with a V-card romance was sweet, hot, cute and completely swoon worthy. Tyler and Evie's story will capture your heart! Super enjoyable!

This anthology has a varying level of heat in each story…but all of them were HOT! The storylines in these stories were great! Some of these were my first time with these authors, but I will be finding more from them! I loved the combination of the uniformed stories and really enjoyed the whole book!

The Men in Uniform Anthology contained fun, quick read stories! I'll admit, I came for Kate Meader's Coming in Hot story. Tyler and Evie's story was HOT! I enjoyed all the references to the Dempsey family and her Chicago Fire series. The other stories were fun also, and it was the perfect beach read.

All in all, I enjoyed this hot, steamy and very sexy anthology all featuring, you guessed it, hot men in uniform. I have only read one of the authors before, Kate Meader, and I have to say hers is probably my favorite. I mean come on, a virgin firefighter? Tyler is absolutely adorable and lets just say he is no longer a virgin. Sweet, hot sexy times here! He and Evie are perfect together. I just love this story! Best friends make the best lovers!
I will definitely be reading more from these other authors as well if their short stories are any indication of their work. I liked them all, but I really liked Ready for Trouble by Tina Donahue. It's a fun and very sexy story featuring Jake, a hot cop, and Krista a very pretty plumber who fixes his pipes, literally.
Kimberly Nee's Always Ready was a good one too with Steve, a coast Guard Rescue Swimmer and Lauren, his best buddy Mark's sister. Mark died on the job recently and Lauren and Steve connect at the memorial for him. Steve blames himself for what happened to Mark. Besides being sexy, this one is a little more on the serious side.
Along Came a Spider by Delilah Devlin is another one that stood out for me. It's a hot, hot, hot and steamy romantic suspense. I really like Spider, a sexy former Navy SEAL and Jessie, a former army major who is in a pretty serious predicament. Spider does not even hesitate to help her and that is before he really gets to know her. They make such a great couple.
View from the Top by Carmen Falcone with Mack and Jenny is a very steamy sexy one too! It was a kind of second chance at a first time together for these two.
I enjoyed Precious Cargo, a steamy romantic suspense by Nicole Morgan but it was a cliffhanger as opposed to just being a short story with a happy ending. I feel like I need to find out what happens with Brandon and Alena.
Again, all in all a highly entertaining and very sexy read!!

What a fun and sexy collection of stories this anthology was. Pretty much all of these authors are new to me but after this book I know I'd very much like to read more from them.
All of the heroes in these stories are as it says on the title, "men in uniform" which go from a firefighter to a navy seal and it's very easy to fall for these guys; but the reader will also find some really good heroines along with intense chemistry between characters, steamy moments, fun storylines and romance all around.
What better way to pass the time than enjoy reading some sexy and entertaining stories?

Ready for Trouble by Tina Donahue

Jake and Krista were a fun couple to read about. There were many things in this book I liked but the biggest being that Jake never made Krista feel lesser than for her career choice. He respected her and her career goals. To me, that's sexy!! Then their banter and sexy times on top of that. This was one hot book.

Always Ready by Kimberly Nee

I really liked this story. It has my favorite troupe in it - older brothers’ best friend. I have to say I really enjoyed this book because the author didn’t go the normal route with the whole ‘the brother is going to punch the best friend for liking the little sister route” that most book do in this genre. Steve and Lauren have been circling each other for awhile and they come together to honor Lauren’s brother and secrets and feeling get told and they realize the best thing for both of them is each other.

The Navy Seal’s Secret Baby by Kat Baxter

This was a great story!! I’m not usually one for surprise baby stories but this one was different. They didn’t wait long for Kevin to find out. It wasn’t this long drawn out surprise. I liked both characters and the fact that they were both trying to do right by their child but also each other. I loved how amazing Jane was as a single mother with always putting her daughter first but also yearning to want to be someone’s first choice.

Call Me Crazy by Rebecca Royce

“Have a thing for law enforcement, faith?” Holy buckets!! It seems like she does and so do I. Wyatt is a good man who even though he has had a tough life, wants to make his childhood hometown safe and also protect the woman who was so close, but he couldn’t touch in high school even if it’s from little green men.

Two for the Road by Bisou deVie

A city girl stuck in Canada. You already know this is going to be a good book. Ion doesn't quiet know what to make of Jill when he first meets her. He is attracted to her but yet can't help but eye roll at her knowledge of outdoor animals and improper shoe attire. However their banter turns to attraction and they find themselves having to spend some time together which brings on the sexy times. While I know it was the driving force behind the book, I would have wanted to throat punch that Decker kid.

View from the Top by Carmen Falcone

I really liked this book. I like the thought of two individuals who were interested in each other but yet had to walk away for some reason only to meet up again. I liked the character of Jenny. She is someone who keeps bucking tradition in her family to pave her own path. Mack was told her wasn't good enough for Jenny years ago but know he is back and ready to claim her as his own. I liked the alphaness of Mack. He knew what he wanted and was willing to fight for it.

Precious Cargo by Nicole Morgan

I have very mixed feeling about this book. I liked the premise of it, and if it was longer I think I would have really enjoyed it. There were two parts that threw me off. The first one had to do with their first time together. He had just had a really difficult conversation with Alena and she was emotionally spent. Then all of a sudden he is starting sexy times with her. Granted its only her pleasure and she wasn't exactly resisting but for some reason it just felt wrong to me. My other issue is that the story just ends. There really isn't an ending. It is a sort of happy for now but yet not really. The action is just starting to pick up and then it just ends. This is where i think if it was longer it would have been amazing.

Coming in Hot by Kate Meader

A virgin firefighter in love with his best friend. Evie is a free spirit who hasn't made the best decisions when it comes to men except for keeping her best friend Tyler in her life. Tyler however has been in love with Evie since the first day he met her but because of him being a little shy she friend zoned him right away. One stormy night changes everything for them. The ending of this book made my heart happy!!

Along Came a Spider by Delilah Devlin

Spider was just trying to figure how why some people find fishing to be relaxing. However a crazy hook and some tin cans change the course of his life. Jessie is a woman in a bad situation but luckily a Navy Seal who sucks at downtime was nearby to help out. Reading about these two falling in love while dodging bad guys and jealous ex's was fun to read.

A superb set of stories. I enjoyed them all and have a found a new author or two as well. Nicely written romances!

View from the Top: If only we could get stranded with our teenage crush and spend a weekend together, turning fantasies to life. This one was hot and steamy. They never had the chance as teens but they made up for it now.

Along Came A Spider: Very hot book with chapters of bedroom antics.
Jessie is a damsel in distress fighting for her life and running from her fiance. Spider, the SEAL, is out fishing while trying to relax when she needs some assistance. Spider came along at the right time to help her.

Coming in Hot: Part of her firefighter series, Meader has given us the story of the Chief's daughter and her BFF. Tyler and Evie have been friends since college but never wanted to damage the relationship with sex. Things turn quick and hot when she learns his secret.

Received my copy through Netgalley.

😳😳😳🔥🔥🔥🙀🙀🙀
This book got straight to the heat. No warmup, no filler. Which is fine, but you’ve been warned. DO NOT read on mass transit- this is private time reading!
