Diamond Girl A

This is such an indulgent movie for cheesy romance lovers. There is nothing of substance in it, but if you want an hour and a half of pure trashy fun then this is it. Of course the production isn't all that good the acting is at best ok and the lines aren't great, but it doesn;t detract at all from the goey goodness. It's just good cheap fun.

The Awakening A

The best of the movies IMO, same pretty much as above but I felt that the acting was better and the characters were better. I haven't read the book this was based on so I don;t know how it relates.

At the Midnight Hour C

Ok, not really memoriable or worth watching over and over. Where the over the top characters from Diamond Girl don't take away from the movie, but rather make it feel more indulgent I had a harder time warming up to these characters.

Loving Evangeline F

If you haven't seen it save your eyes and don't, if you buy the set do yourself a favor take a key and ruin the side that this movie is on.

Book to movie I have only read Diamon Girl by Diana Palmer and Loving Evangeline by Linda Howard, DG is nowhere near the movie, but both work in their own right. LE is even less like hte book, and the hero casting and written is so different from anything resembling s LH hero that it really messed my up, Robert in the movie is a nerd.

First of all, there was only 2 movies on this disk, instead of the 4 they list. Second the quality of the picture was sub-standard. I wouldn't waste my money on buying another dvd from this company or another harlequin collector set dvd for that matter.

Who likes to read romance novels like me, will love this movies.
Watch it by yourself or with your spouse on a nice cold day snuggled up on the couch.
If you feel a little bit sad, romances always lift up my spirit again.

I waited a whole week in anticipation for the weekend when I would get all four of these movies. I truly only wanted one movie of the four but I was willing to get all four. When the package came in the mail I raced to my room and opened the DVD box. Ripping it open with the zeal of a child at Christmas I only saw one DVD. I thought it was strange but I put the DVD in my player.
When The screen lit up there was only one movie on side A. I felt a sick feeling so I turned it over and found there was only one movie on side B as well. I am MISSING a whole DVD in a package that should not have been opened. I am MISSING the movie that I wanted to see. It wouldn't have been so bad it the DVD that I revieved had the movie on it that I wanted in the first place.
Ok, yes I would have been a bit perturbed that I was missing the other DVD in the box but I would have the movie I wanted originally. But no. That wasn't the case at all. I went to the returns site and reported it but it will take another week for my movies to come to exchange it and I'm not guaranteed that both DVDs will be in the box this time either.

I'm extremely disappointed in this DVD. It's a collection of 4 movies of which I wanted only 1 but figured the price was right. Upon arrival there was only one DVD in the sealed DVD box and it did not include the one movie that I had originally wanted. I purchased two other of these 4-film collector's sets and they both came with two DVD, just this one was missing a second DVD. I've not investigated as to whether Amazon will send a replacement, but this shouldn't happen.

I am very disappointed in Amazon. There are suppose to be four movies on this DVD but I have only two...Diamond Girl and Loving Evangeline. When I tried to leave customer feedback for the seller it wouldn't allow me. Diamond Girl wasn't bad but LE left alot to be desired...I love Linda Howard and have read all her books but this adaption was a total waste. So if anyone from Amazon bothers to read this review...I would like to know how to get a correct copy of the DVD since I can even leave you feedback.

I enjoy watching Harlequin romance movies because they are PG rated and don't have "hard core" sex scenes or profanity. These four movies are not boring or "old fashioned," just good taste and it's refreshing to not be distracted by profanity and the love scenes leave something to the imagination. They are modern stories and the mysteries keep you on the edge of your seat.

i didnt receive the whole volume and the return was good but not the replacement i still didnt receive all the movies.
