THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR STOMPING ~ Julie Kenner, Jade Lee, Marianne Mancusi
Love Spell
ISBN: 978-0-505-52760-8
April 2008
Paranormal Romance Anthology

Just because a gal needs to kick a little butt sometimes doesn't mean she can't be stylish while doing it. The right pair of stems, the perfect handbag, could mean the difference between life and death. But these gals will soon learn that the greatest accessory is love.

A Step in the Right Direction ~ Julie Kenner

As a full-blooded Protector, Nikko is in search of the evil Rex Ruthless, who plans on using a shrinking device as a means to world domination. Nikko recently came off of a probation that was thanks to a comic book artist seeing Nikko use his powers. Now Silver Streak is plastered on every kid's bedroom wall, thus making it hard for Nikko to do his job and protect the world from Ruthless.

Lydia Carmichael lives for comic books, and she longs to be like the tough and seductive women found in them. But when a case of mistaken identity has Lydia playing superhero with a real-life one, her fantasy becomes reality.

Julie Kenner starts this anthology off with a bang with a cynical superhero trying to get back in good with the Council of Protectors and a timid woman looking for a little backbone. Humor ensues as these two team up for a little action...in and out of the bedroom.

Kung Fu Shoes ~ Jade Lee

School teacher Michaela "Micki Mouse" Becker knows she's not reaching any of her students, but she hopes to get through to at least one. She has her eye on brilliant Lucy, who has fallen in with a bad crowd. But when Michaela accidentally gets involved in a scuffle with Lucy's boyfriend, all of a sudden it's like she's possessed with super fighting abilities. And she doesn't even believe in violence! Just what in the heck is going on? School cop Joe DeLuce doesn't know how she did it, but he's determined to find out what secrets the shy teacher is hiding.

Michaela doesn't have the nickname "Micki Mouse" by accident, so when she suddenly begins using roundhouse kicks with deadly accuracy, she's more surprised than anyone. Jade Lee turns a bullied teacher into a force to be reckoned with in this captivating story.

Karma Kitty Goes to Comic Con ~ Marianne Mancusi

Hailey Hills finally did it. She and her comic book, Karma Kitty, are at the prestigious Comic Con! So why is she still unhappy? Is it because she still harbors feelings for old flame Collin Robinson? After all, it was he who first began drawing the pictures while she wrote the stories. But thanks to a little problem Hailey has, like seeing dead people and talking to animals, Collin finally gave up on her. Will Collin give her another chance...even though she believes a ninja is after him?

The final installment is a great sendoff for this anthology as Marianne Mancusi takes readers on a unique journey with Hailey and Karma Kitty, who is more than just art.

THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR STOMPING will delight readers as fashion and fighting go hand in hand in these three tales of love and a little bit of war. Do not miss out!
