La Femme Nikita fans will love Maggie Shayne's entry into this anthology, The Bride Wore a .44. A woman who can remember nothing finds her memory returning as her wedding to a man she does not love approaches, and she finds her hope chest is full of guns.

Jacey Ford's Painkillers finds a model working undercover to bring down drug lords. Warfem by Angela Knight is basically PWP, best skipped, frankly. However, Mary Janice Davidson's The Misadventures of Boo and Boy Blunder is worth the price of the anthology all on its own.

An albino vampire slayer finds herself with an unwanted sidekick when she is hired by an all too attractive, charming vampire stand-up comedian to kill scumbag vampires. Those who have followed the adventures of Betsy the Vampire Queen will enjoy the foreshadowing of a possible meeting between Betsy and Boo.

All in all - this is a half wonderful half so so anthology, but the wonderful half makes up for the not so wonderful half.
