5.0 out of 5 stars If you haven't already read them, three great novellas, January 6, 2002

By	mirope "mirope" (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Strangers in the Night (Hardcover)

I was more than a little disappointed when I opened this book and realized I'd bought it without knowing that it was a compilation of three of Howard's previously released novellas, each of which I already own. I'll accept some mea culpa here, but it's annoying to have a book hyped as a "new" release when there's nothing "new" about it. Fortunately, these are three of my favorite works by Howard, and it's nice to have them together in a hardback edition. Howard is a master at adapting the novella format to contemporary romance. Her focus is almost exclusively on the characters and instantly building a sharp sexual tension between them. In each of these stories, the characters meet for the first time and circumstances allow them to skip most of the subtleties of courtship and move straight into steamy and intense relationships. "Lake of Dreams" is the first work I ever read by Howard, and ever since she's been one of my favorite authors. "Blue Moon" and "White Out" are even better. If you like contemporary romance - and you don't already own these stories - "Strangers in the Night" is an essential addition to your library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beware, December 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Strangers in the Night (Hardcover)

As other reviewers have mentioned, the 3 stories that have been previously released. The stories are good, hence the 4-star rating. For loyal readers of Linda Howard, however, the book will come as a disapointment as they'll surely have read these stories before. While I don't mind reprints if I know that is what they are, the fact that this book was originally promoted as *new* was extremely misleading.
