Hall of Fame material,
By A Customer
This review is from: Never Say Never (Paperback)
Is there a hall of fame for terrible lines? I love cheezy books and have no problem with the politically incorrect, but I must share with you my all time favorite worst literary [?] line. It's from NIGHT STRIKER, the second book in the volume:"Tugging on his hair, she drew his face to hers. 'Make me real, Rio. Breathe your life into my dead body." Indeed, who can resist a book with lines like that? Morgan Wade of MORGAN WADE'S WOMAN also has a great and often repeated line. When his twenty-five-year old wife wants to do something, he will say, "If you're a good girl." I realize that it's a re-issue, but it could have been edited and updated. And by the way, I was married in 1981 when the book was published, and, even in the unlightened eighties, most men, even macho hombres, saved lines like that for their children.

Good reading to spend an afternoon with,

This review is from: Never Say Never (Paperback)
I MUST disagree with the review that's posted. HELLO, DEAR READER! Did you even BOTHER reading the reader letter included in the book by Ms. Hohl? These books were originally published in the 1980s and at that time the guidelines for romance were much different that what they are now. Joan Hohl admits that! If anyone loves Joan Hohl, and I certainly do, I want to get my hands on everything she's ever written. Two books for the price of one is a bargain in my book and these books DO NOT disappoint!

Avoid this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Never Say Never (Paperback)
I purchased Joan Hohl's book, Never Say Never, because of Nora Robert's recommendation on the cover. Ms. Roberts you have disappointed me! I enjoy all of Nora Robert's books and expected a story line reminiscent of hers. I was more than disappointed, I found the Ms. Hohl's book disturbing. In the first of the two stories, Morgan Wade's Woman, the relationship between the two primary characters, Samantha and Wade, is sick. Wade is abusive and controlling. Samantha is increasingly depressed to the point of anorexia. In a jealous rage over Samantha's choice of a dress for a party Morgan rapes Samantha. Yet she loves him and stays with him!!! Sick. Despite my increasing discomfort with the story and characters, I finished the first of the two stories. I even started the second story, Night Striker, which opens with the same characters. But when on the third page of the story Samantha complements Morgan on his ability to control her and berates herself as a "horrible creature" I had had enough. As I said before, sick. I enjoy romance. I even enjoy the tension and conflict between the sexes that is part of the genre, but it must always reflect respect and love. I will never read another Joan Hohl book.
