5.0 out of 5 stars All In One...., Oct 16 2002

This review is from: A Mother's Way (Mass Market Paperback)

Great romance anthology. My favorites are Lisa Cach's "Mother May I? and Susan Grant's "The Day Her Heart Stood Still". Both of the historical were hilarious and heartfelt. There's no dragging out in this book, the stories are short and move at a good pace.

I enjoy reading all of the romance genres and usually rotate between historical, contemporary, futuristic, gothic and paranormal depending on what I'm in the mood to read. Having a variety in one book caused a "building up" effect, from the past all the way to the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Mother's Gift!!, Mar 24 2002

This review is from: A Mother's Way (Mass Market Paperback)

This anthology has four of Dorchester's bright stars giving you varied tales of how Mother KNOWS BEST!!! (Ignore the running blah green cover!!)
Lynsay Sand's Gives a medieval tale of mother plotting to get the grandbabies she wants by telling him the girl is wrong for him. Julie Kenner gives you a futuristic tale. I loved "The Day her Heart Stood Still", a take off on "the Day the Earth Stood Still". As a child I always thought Michael Rennie and Patrica Neal created good sparks and sighed wishing for more romance. Susan Grant takes that idea and runs with it (Thank you, Susan, for finally fulfilling that childhood desire!!). And Lisa Cach sends you to 1750 England giving us another super historical romp!!! Whimsical, light reading perfect for MUM!!!

The PERFECT gift for Mother's Day (US)....with a box of ...Chocolates!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars fun anthology, Mar 14 2002

This review is from: A Mother's Way (Mass Market Paperback)

"Mother May I" by Lynsay Sands. In 1358 London, Margaret and Elizabeth want their children, Jonathan and Alice, married. Neither Jonathan nor Alice wants to wed anyone. The king orders Jonathan to find a fiancée. As Alice helps him pick a wife, they fall in love. In spite of the ludicrous mothers, medieval romance fans will find this tale cute.

"The Breeding Season" by Lisa Cach. In 1750 England, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Highcroft agree their children would make a perfect couple. However, Evelina enjoys parties while Charles relishes studious pursuits. After getting the duo together, the moms allow nature to take control. The cast makes this an entertaining historical romp.

"Seeking Single Superhero" by Julie Kenner. Jennifer works for the Mortal-Protector Liaison Office, hiding superhero protectors from the people. Jenny detests the conceited protectors, but her mother selects one for her to marry. Julie prefers Starbuck, a seemingly ordinary person working undercover to ferret out a spy. This comic book futuristic romance is at its best when the plot faces its A-Team player Starbuck.

"The Day Her Heart Stood Still" by Susan Grant. Astronaut Andie visits her wacky mom, a true ET believer. When Zefer the alien arrives, Andie's mother believes he is perfect for her daughter even if they are a star-crossed couple. This hyperspeed tale is science fiction romance at its delightful best.

The four stories are for the most part fun to read with delightful lead couples spanning the sub-genres, but the irritating imbecilic mothers slow down the plots with their shenanigans.
