I just keep trying to imagine what all those airships and nano bots and everything look like.

Lisa Marie Rice (Midnight Series and Others) is extremely erotic and also Damsel in Distress being rescued kind of thing. I tend to enjoy the books she writes as Elizabeth Jennings more - still very suspenseful but the sex is toned down at least a little. She did one last year where a Special Forces guy needed escort a scientist to some Far Eastern country ... I can't remember the name but I thought it was pretty good.

Maya Banks and her KGI series has been really popular, I enjoyed the first few but the last one felt kind of lost and aimless to me.

If you can handle a dose of Werewolf the Patty Briggs Mercedes Thompson series is one of my favorites. They usually hit the NYT Bestseller list and are quite action packed and exciting.
Yeah, the midnight series is rather erotic and the damsel in distress thing got old after 1/2 a book...but it was decent and had lots of guns. I haven't tried any Elizabeth Jennings, I'll put it on my mountain.

Speaking of fun and lots of guns (with a piss poor romance thrown in) check out Larry Correia's Monster Hunter International series. Even my husband enjoys them.

I've read only one or two books from Maya Banks...I'll have to check out some others. The ones I read weren't too encouraging. Her site said that Hidden Away is a finalist for RITA so I think I'll check the series (KGI)out. Thanks!
