This review is from: Under The Boardwalk: A Dazzling Collection Of All New Summertime Love Stories (Mass Market Paperback)

An odd mix of contemporary and historical from 5 strong writers.
I enjoyed them all, but wished Howard's would be done into a full book. It left you wanting more. It is a really neat quirky tale of a harassed sheriff hating the "blue moon" because things went wrong and there were more weirdos out than usual. He meets a witch called called Lilah. Just wish these characters could have been made into a full story. This was so quick, especially considering it was Howard's name pushing the book.
"Ruined" by Jillian Hunter is wonderful. A very strong, almost Gothic story that also could have benefited from a longer treatment. In 1843 her yacht crashed off of his cove of Cornwall. Rylan " DeWilde never expected to fall in love with his guest Sydney Windsor, especially after he learns she is engaged to marry his enemy. Would have made a super Big book!!!

The weakest was "Buried Treasure" by Miranda Jarrett. About two men competing for the same woman, and one a pirate.

Really enjoyed "Swept Away" about a PI chasing a woman he loves. But in order to keep on her trail, he must go home to a town full of bad memories.

I am not big on westerns, but Geralyn Dawson's "Castaway" was very good. In 1883 Texas, Drew Coryell lives alone on an island. He peace is shattered when his ex-wife arrives, needing a big favour. She wants his help in tracing a precious heirloom, but finds love the second time around even more precious.

Odd mix of contemporaries and historicals, but still very nice collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Howard & Hunter's Stories were the best, Mar 8 2002

This review is from: Under The Boardwalk: A Dazzling Collection Of All New Summertime Love Stories (Mass Market Paperback)

I enjoyed all of the stories, but the first and third stories were the best. Linda Howard is brilliant and I found a new author to enjoy in Jillian Hunter. This was a good read -- I hope they produce more.

2.0 out of 5 stars it's okay
I got this book for Christmas and Linda Howard's story made me laugh, it was so bad. It could have been made into a great novel, but it was extremely unbelivable, the characters... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent novella compilation
The novella can be a challenging genre for an author, since she has to create believable characters and develop a satisfying romance in a much smaller amount of time. Read more
