I did rate only three, not because they are not well written, but I do believe it is tricking the reader to put is "published in 2002 and writen by Lowel, etc. when in fact they just take old stories and put them together with a new title.

I would like to be sure when a book is writen, the style had changed and so the writer's skills too. When I buy an older of her book, it is because I want to compare. But I do want to know before I buy what is in it, when it is written.

This is a "three-fer" republication of Linda Howard's "Duncan's Bride" (the whole reason I purchased the book), Elizabeth Lowell's "Chain Lightening," and Kasey Michael's poorly written, waste of ink and paper, "Popcorn and Kisses."

As always (almost always...Killing Time and Angle Creek were not worth re-reading in my estimation) Linda Howard's story was wonderful. Madelyn and Reese Duncan are a great couple. This is a true romance novel. No suspense or anything to dilute the building of the relationship between the two characters. The secondary characters were wonderful, too. This is the first of two connected books - the second being "Loving Evangeline."

"Chain Lightening" is a ho-hum Elizabeth Lowell book. The setting, Lady Elliot Island (actual place off the Great Barrier Reef near Australia), is exciting (I want to go). The story could have been so much more - as Elizabeth Lowell has proven countless times, as she is a stellar author without peer, at times - but it wasn't. I would not have purchased this book alone.

My opening statement pretty much clarified my opinion of Kasey Michael's offering "Popcorn and Kisses." If I could cut it out of the book without ruining it, I would.
