5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book, February 27, 2004

This review is from: Strangers In Paradise (Decadent Escapes Promotion) (Mass Market Paperback)

Stephanie Bond's Club Cupid is simply delightful. The sexual tension between Frankie and Randy is sizzling and the characters are well developed. Bond has a wonderful talent with words and I look forward to reading more books from her.

Joanne Rock's story is a short one. It is only about 100 pages long, but it is a nice sweet story.

This review is from: Strangers In Paradise (Decadent Escapes Promotion) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book contains two stories: Club Cupid by Stephanie Bond and Valentine Vixen by Joanne Rock. Club Cupid is a reissue of a story originally published in 1999, and Valentine Vixen is a very short story that is thoroughly boring and unenjoyable. Club Cupid is slightly better, but the book - overall - is not worth wasting your money on. The stories are both too simple; the characters do not have enough depth or feeling, the `romances' are unbelievable, and the writing is generic.
