Review: BORN IN A SMALL TOWN - Debbie Macomber"Midnight Sons" - DEBBIE MACOMBER
There's something special about Alaska -- and about the town of Hard Luck. Scott O'Halloran grew up there; he's been away from years, but now he's back. To stay? Everybody's wondering -- especially Chrissie Harris. The girl he left behind... "The Glory Girl" - JUDITH BOWEN Glory, Alberta. A cowboy town in cowboy country. Hannah Parrish loves it here. "Once from a small town, always from a small town," says Jack Gamble, ex-prospector, a man who's ready to come home. He wants to find a "nice, quiet Glory girl." And that's exactly what Hannah is -- even if Jack doesn't know it yet! "Promise Me Picket Fences" - JANICE KAY JOHNSON Melanie Parker never wants to leave Elk Springs, Oregon. After a lifetime of moving, she finally has a big house with a picket fence. To Kevin McNeil, that sounds like a prison. They could walk away from each other right now -- if they weren't falling in love...

Summary: Falls Short
Review: Debbie MacComber's short story was lacking compared to the rest of the Midnight Son's series. It was nice to hear what happened to the rest of our favorite characters from the other books (in fact it was more interesting than the Scott/Chrissie main plot). I didn't buy Scott's "troubled teenager" character at all because of who MacComber painted him to be in the earlier books. Scott would have talked things out with his family instead of internalizing and running away. The other two stories were good reads especially Promise Me Picket Fences but I felt that the stories moved too quickly and didn't develop characters. For example, I would have liked to learn more about Angie and about Hannah's sister Emily (who sounds more interesting than Hannah herself).

Summary: Janice Johnson's Story Is Definitely Best of Collection
Review: Debbie MacOmber's story was fine but not great. Basically, it was just an excuse to meet up with all those people from her previous books. Judith Bowen's story was also entertaining, although I disliked the theme of a heroine who disguised her appearance, then having a hero who fell for the disguise and couldn't figure out who she really was. But Janice Johnson's story definitely made up for the rest of the anthology. Her story sparkled with humor and romance. It's a must-read for all romance fans!!!

Summary: Great Story by Janice Kay Johnson
Review: I asked for this book for my birtday, because I had read the previous six books over the summer that proceeded the first story in this book. This story was a good follow up to those books. A quick read. I enjoy Debbie Macomber, and that is the only reason I got this book. I couldn't get "into" the other two stories, however, and moved on to better books!

Review: I loved this book as most of Debbie Macomber's are high on my reading list. It had a very good story line. You won't want to put it down.

Summary: An okay read
Review: I really enjoyed Debbie's Hard Luck, Alaska series, so I was really looking forward to this new one about Scott O'Halloran. But to be honest, I was disappointed. The book was not that good. The love story between Scott and Chrissy was just not that interesting. I liked hearing about what had happened to the other characters in Hard Luck, but the main plot just didn't turn out well. I think she gave into him much too easily. He barely had to work for her love. But that is my opinion. You might just want to read this book to find out about the other characters.
