2.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but I've read better, July 13, 1998

This review is from: Dear Stranger (Warner, Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

While I agree with the previous reviews that this book has some charming aspects (Lily's study of the "Male mysteries"; the unlikely villan), overall I was very disappointed. My particular complaints with this novel are the unfounded, mecurial temperaments of it's main characters. One paragraph they're verbally assaulting one another, and the next whispering endearments with no apparent resolution to the previous confrontation. Also, the book moved so slowly at times, I found myself skipping pages to more interesting parts. However, I applaud Ms. Cameron on her antagonists. A more motley, thoroughly amoral group has never existed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent historical romance!, June 21, 1998

This review is from: Dear Stranger (Warner, Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the first historical romance that I have read by Ms. Cameron. I was a bit skeptical since I LOVE her contemporary books. But this took me by surprise. It is a good suspense story with a wonderful unexpected twist that will leave readers with their mouths open. The love story between Lily and Oliver is equally wonderful. Lily being an "old maid" of 25 knows her mind and trusts this man with her"mysteries" as he will with his. I enjoyed it ! I will eagerly look for other books in this genre by her and hope they are as entertaining as this one.
