Summary: ripped off again!
Comment: I bought this book and got home and found out it was nothing but two old sad Silhouette books given a face lift and a new title. Hey money is something most people don't have to toss away and that is what I just did.
Yeah, they are nice reads. I really like Nora Roberts. Hey, why I bought the book. But I really feel this "new cover and name and hey, they can feed it to the suckers again" is just not nice!
Sigh. It makes me feel bad to get home and find I have been ripped off. Sort of insulting to our intelligence. < Publisher rubs hands and giggle wickledly, "well, we did it again. Fool them!">
They are OKAY reads. Not new. They are very old Silhouettes - that did not rate too high in stars back then - so they feel a bit dated. Big thrill.
I just wish they would show respect for HER FANS!!

Summary: Amazon Romance book of the year??? NOT
Comment: Nora's Silhouette books were book quick reads, but I find it so strange to come in and see this as amazon's top pick for romance for the year - shocked might be a better word - for two four star reprints of little books!!
I am not knocking Nora, for I have 75% of everything she has written, but after the first 15% she stopped surprising me. THESE ARE REPRINTS! And they are charging this HIGH PRICE because its NORA's name on the cover. Sorry, I get this feeling of SUCKER on my face when I pick one of these up and get home and find I already had them from years ago and paid a LOT LESS!!!
Nora Roberts is a super writer - too prolific. Maybe if she slowed down a bit and polished her works, maybe she can once again surprise us with her talent. Just stop re-canvasing these old puppies just she and her publisher can keep milking her fans and pretend they are something special.
These are good reads - IF YOU DON'T AlREADY have them. TYPICAL Nora tales, so don't expect anything new or fresh. But this is NOT book of the year quality. Sorry, I can name 100 other titles by writers that still surprise me in romance and its a shame the PR machine pushes second-rate Silhouette tales as book of the year.
A Will and a Way (Silhouette Special Edition #345) (Please note readers ONLY gave the 4 stars first time around!!!!!!!!!)Uncle Jolley's has Pandora McVie tied and she cannot change it. She has to spend six months isolated in the Catskills with Michael Donahue, her least favourite-though best looking-distant relative and co-beneficiary.
The Second tale is Boundary Lines (Nr Flowers Ser.: No. 47)again ONLY 4 stars - the feud between the Barons and the Murdocks spanned generations... Jillian Baron and Aaron Murdock seem determined to carry it into another one.
Sorry, these are very predictable 4 star Silhouette SMALL books that are reprints. That is NOT a book of the year. If you like Nora and want to read everything she has done, fine. But you just paid $7.50 for books they were only a couple bucks each and nothing special back then.
Sorry for the soap box, but it's a shame this hoax is being fostered on the book buyers.
GO CHECK YOUR OLD SILHOUETTES, you likely already have them if your a Nora fan.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excelent
Comment: Ok, if you've never read any short stories of Nora's than I have good news for you. This book pretty much brings you her best short works for the least amount of effort. It's easy fun reading that shows Nora's complete imagination in characters and plots. Two interesting and exciting stories that combine heart-felt romance and enticing twist. You are sure to love these fabulous tales.(they are definatly rereaders!
(And even if you don't like the story Nora paints a pretty hunk)
