Cute! I like the concept. Men need to be rescued and then spanked for making us go to the trouble.

LOL!

Eighteen stories of warrior women who come to men in distress. The tables have been turned! This is the second in, what I hope will be, a series. These women may look like "babes" in very little chain mail, but they show themselves to be able to take care of themselves...and other men. My husband and I enjoyed it thoroughly!

A very PUNishing Book!

Despite the title, not every story in this book is full of puns. Not every story is laugh-out-loud funny. Every story IS worth reading, which is not the case with every anthology you might pick up, especially a "theme" anthology. The only mild complaint I would have was there was no Mathemagics story by Margaret Ball. Despite that slight disappointment, I would recommend this installment in what I really hope will be a continuing series.

Another great collection of ball-bashing babes <grin>

This was great - not only do the women have "real" jobs, they get to prove that they have feelings as well (yet don't let them rule their lives). It's nice to see some men in danger for once - and seeing that their rescuers are women with attitude. Definitely something I'll pass on to my nieces and young cousins!

Buy this book!!! ( & Then Read it, Too...)

A very funny, very enjoyable, not entirely mindless read. An anthology of stories that give the classic sf women in bronze bras someting to do. Which is save the world, save their husbands, save the king, save a knight in shining armor, make the world safe to cross the street.
