Great!!!!!!!!!!

Really enjoyed this book. Although short they are 3 great stories. So glad there are other books to follow-on from these. I'm 2 chapters from the end of "Riley", Lori's follow-on. Can't wait to read Sean & Luke. Lori's story reminds me of "The private eyes" & "Men to the rescue" series of books (Beguiled, Wanton, Caught in the act, Treat her right & Mr. November).

Three Hot Heroes

The newest anthology by Lori Foster, Donna Kauffman and Jill Shalvis gives us three great reads.In Trapped by Lori Foster, firefighter Ethan Winters gets a rude awakening when he wakes up in bed with his best friend Rosie Carrington. Rosie was there for him when he was dumped at the alter by her brother. Ethan values his friendship with Rosie but he is beginning to see what he has always wanted in a lover and more has been right in front of him all along. Rosie helps Ethan to realize that she is the only one for him. Trapped has a great friends to lovers story and is a hot and sexy read. Plus you can really feel the suspense when Rosie is in danger. Ethan is a great hero and he has some amazing friends that hopefully we will get to read their sizzling stories soon.Buried by Donna Kauffman takes Haley Brubaker the heroine through a terrible earthquake.

Molly decides to change her life and take some chances, starting with Matt. Molly teaches Matt that he needs to let people in, especially her.All three stories are wonderful. You will not be sorry to get this book.

One hot book, three HOT heroes

The three stories in Men of Courage are great. I read the entire book in less than a day. The three heroes are sexy as sin and the heroines are strong, independent women.In Lori Foster's Trapped, Rosie Carrington has loved her close friend Ethan Winters forever. Ethan, on the other hand, thinks of Rosie as one of the guys until he wakes up with her in his bed after way to much to drink the night before. While he's trying to sort out what, if anything happened between him and Rosie, Ethan's three best buddies show up at his door for a planned fishing trip. After getting rid of the other guys, Rosie confesses to Ethan that she loves him and gives him one week to decide he loves her too. Rosie's confession makes Ethan think and at that point, the sparks really start to fly between the two. This story has the camaraderie between Ethan and his buddies that Ms. Foster has had in the Winston Brothers and Buckhorn Brothers series. There are moments when I laughed out loud.In Donna Kauffman's Buried, Haley Brubaker is estranged from her rich Boston family. Although she has many possessions, the only thing she really values is her dog, Digger. When an earthquake hits her California hometown while she is flying back from a business trip, Haley is determined to get to her house and rescue Digger. After renting a car at the airport her flight is diverted to, Haley drives as close to home as she can get before the roads are blocked. Trying to find someone among the rescue workers who will help her get to Digger, Haley runs into Search and Rescue worker, Brett Gannon and his search dog. Three years her junior, Brett has had a crush on Haley ever since Haley dated his brother during college. She has filled many of his late night fantasies. While Brett goes to see if he can get info on the condition of Haley's house, Haley slips off to climb the side of the mountain to her home. Luckily, Brett sees Haley right as she sneaks off and follows. Brett prevents Haley from going into her home but he goes in and rescues her dog. When an aftershock hits, Brett is injured. While waiting for help to get them off the mountain, Brett confesses his crush to Haley and convinces her to stay with him until she can find another place since her house is not sound enough for her to live in. Brett is funny and sexy. Haley has worked hard to build her business and is a very strong woman. They make a great couple.In Jill Shalvis' Stranded, spacey university professor, Molly Stanton, is caught in a terrible Texas storm clinging to a tree by a swollen creek bed. She promises herself that if she survives the storm, she will change her life and start living rather than being so focused on her job. Doctor Matt Walker catches a glimpse of Molly's shirt through the rain and risks his life to save hers. Matt carries Molly back to the house he inherited from his grandfather. Unable to leave due to the storm, they seek shelter in the storm cellar and each other's arms.

A romance of courage...

TRAPPED! (Lori Foster)...Ethan Winters has dealt with being stood up at the altar the only way he knows how, by showing everyone that he is over his almost wife. Going out with a different girl on the nights he's not pulling people out of burning buildings, Ethan thinks he's doing a great job...until he wakes up and finds Rosie Carrington in his bed. Rosie has been in love with Ethan for years, and has decided the time has come to seduce him. With hot sex and emotions running high, Lori Foster delivers in Trapped!BURIED! (Donna Kauffman)...Having no luck with men, Haley Brubaker has her Jack Russell terrier, Digger. Digger is the only being that she can count on in her life. Which is why she is so frantic when an earthquake hits the bay area town where she lives. Racing home, she finds the road to her house closed off, surrounded by emergency personnel. Approaching the first worker she sees, she is stunned to see the now gorgeous younger brother of her ex-boyfriend, Brett Gannon. Brett has always had a crush on Haley, ever since he was sixteen and she was nineteen. All he has to do is convince her that what they have going between them is worth fighting for. STRANDED! (Jill Shavlis)...Dr. Matt Walker never has emotional entanglements with his patients, or with anyone else for that matter. When a huge storm hits the Texas town he lives in, Matt heads to his car for the drive to the hospital emergency room where he'll be needed. Then he sees a woman clinging to a tree on his property and goes after her. Molly Stanton thought he was the angel of Death when he swooped her out of the storm. Now, in the basement of his plantation house, Molly vows to herself that she'll change herself from the absentminded professor to someone that enjoys life...and sex. And she'll start with Dr. Walker. Shalvis brings a fast read that is packed with emotion without being unbelieveable.If you want a fast read, pick this up. I read it in less than four hours!
