Review
Vincent Diamond, editor of Animal Attraction, writes:
A worthy successor to its predecessor, this anthology offers up a variety of sexy tales focused on that sexual icon: the man in uniform. From Star Fleet uniforms to soldiers to a fast-food servers in embarrassing overalls, the stories here offer readers a great mix of voices.
Editor M. Rode has assembled a terrific set of stories. Ranging from humorous and sexily silly to futuristic post-apocalyptic tales, the characters in these stories all take a chance. By stepping out of uniform, literally and figuratively, these men find affection, romance and erotic encounters.
On the lighter side, Kiernan Kelly's "Ballz" is a cute tale of Parker Jennings and his journey from fast food geek to a busboy and waiter-in-training. Ballz is a restaurant concept familiar to any reader who has eaten at a Hooters. Parker's change from a pig uniform to the red thong required at Ballz is a hoot.
James Buchanan offers up a smoking take on the future in "The Red Jungle". Bristling with taut action, snappy dialogue, and hard sex, Sergeant Ferizzie finds out that a quiet break on the night shift can turn into something hotter and more dangerous than his regular patrol.
Another of my favorites from this book is "Captain's Orders" by Angelia Sparrow, a hilarious homage to scifi conventions. Using a costume masquerade as its centerpiece, Dave and Chris appear as Kirk and Spock, an inside joke to fannish types everywhere. Sparrow's affection for this fantasy world is clear as this couple have a fun -and sexy-weekend together. The last five paragraphs of this one are laugh out loud funny.
Stephanie Vaughn gives readers a lovely segue in her Off World series. In "Off World: Negotiation", lovers Caleb and Sarhaan face a challenge that seems quieter than the space pirates they dealt with in the first novel of the series. But the threat to their relationship is just as real as any blaster wound. Coupled with hot, possessive sex scenes, this story is another memorable one.
From UPS drivers to Musketeers to motorcycle cops, these Men in Uniform are sure to get your pulse racing and your imagination soaring.
Sample
From Sean Michael’s Staying In:
He did his hair first, wetting his fingers and running it through and Sammy was absolutely right, it looked sexy rather than messy and, encouraged, he pulled on his clothes and shoved everything he'd tried on and wasn't wearing back into the closet, closing the door just as the knock came on the front door.
He flew to it and then took a deep breath, flicked away a bit of fluff on his vest and opened the door.
Oh.
Oh, dude.
Harrison was standing there in his dress uniform - dark blue jacket and slacks trimmed in a buttery yellow, gold cord around one shoulder.
His whole body went hot at the sight, his prick noticing just as hard as the rest of him did, and heat flooded his cheeks. "Oh, Harry... you look..."
"Like a trained monkey. You're fine, though." The matter-of-fact words made him grin - they were so Harry.
"I was going to say breathtaking, only you made me lose my words." He went up on his tip toes, head tilting back as he silently begged a kiss.
One of those huge hands cupped his jaw, the kiss enough to make his knees buckle a little, Harry's happy blue eyes dancing for him. He sighed as their lips parted, knowing he was wearing his heart on his sleeve, or in his eyes or something, and not caring for a minute. Harry just made his heart beat faster.
"Mmm. You're going to give me a happy before the ball and I'll be all obvious." Harry had shaved close, skin smooth against his.
From Stephanie Vaughan’s Off World: Negotiation:
Conversation would have to wait until they were back on board the Vigilant, but there was plenty of non-verbal communication going on. Sarhaan allowed himself a small smile as they suited up for the short walk back to the ship and Caleb’s eyes positively sparkled with excitement.
Feelings of victory would be premature, but Sarhaan had to own up to a certain feeling of accomplishment. He’d never made his living with his mouth before. Relying on his speed and strength, his weapon and his body had been his tools and it took a bit of mental adjusting to think that this was how things were going to be from here on out.
Caleb pulled the helmet of his borrowed suit over his head, obscuring the shiny mop of blond hair that always drew looks, his ease at handling the equipment belying his civilian status. Flashing Sarhaan a grin, Caleb flipped the smoked blast shield down and suddenly it could have been any one of Sarhaan’s teammates standing next to him -- albeit one of the shorter ones.
The trip took maybe twenty minutes and when they were finally back on board, Caleb quickly tugged the helmet back off. “Wasn’t that amazing? What are the odds? This has got to be good for us, don’t you think? Seeing Daniel, I mean. And those offices -- holy shit. Did you see the marble console? These guys have to be making serious bank to be able to afford that stuff.”
“I saw it.” Storing his own helmet away, Sarhaan smoothed his short, chin-hugging beard with his thumb and forefinger while he eyed Caleb.
“That’s it? You saw it? Well, what did you think? With that much money, they can totally afford us. And I can work the angle with Daniel to get us the best deal. Aren’t you even a little bit excited?” Caleb’s voice was beginning to take on the tone Sarhaan had come to know. Wickedly smart, funny, passionate -- patience was not something that came naturally to Caleb and Sarhaan had learned the sound of Caleb’s frustration rising.
“I’m cautiously optimistic. I think we’ve got a good chance of not walking away empty-handed. Caleb, let me ask you something.”
Completely out of the black boarding armor that doubled as a surface suit, Caleb was back to his business attire. The russet collarless shirt did wonderful things for Caleb’s brown eyes and the chocolate brown suit flattered his trim body.
“Here, give me that.” Taking the last piece of Sarhaan’s black armor, Caleb stashed it in its locker and turned back, a questioning look on his beautiful, open face. “Yeah?”
“This Wasson guy… you ever fuck him?” Sarhaan had tried to keep his tone even, but judging from the shocked look on Caleb’s face, his results had been mixed.
