Summary: LESS FOR YOUR MONEY
Review: Am I the only hard core romance reader who resents paying extra for an "out-of-print" story by a favorite author because it is paired with a story by a new or less popular author? I find myself visiting the used book stores and websites to get the book in which I am interested. This is, as one reviewer wrote, a pre-PC novel. I may be strange, but I enjoy tracking a favorite author's progress as it makes me believe that we all can grow, improve and produce better and better results. The marketing strategy is obvious, but I think it costs (and irritates) loyal readers.

Summary: Overload-Story of Hot Love
Review: I loved this story and in this world full of everything including the kitchen sink being PC, I actually miss the old romances of the 80s with the dominent alpha males that took care of the heroines. The heroine was no push over, she had her own business, her own identity, her own life. She was just gun shy due to an extremely bad past relationship and was scared to give love a try again. Fortunately for the hero, they were both at the right place and the right time and the heroine with the hero's help faced her own demons. Every woman should have her own sense of self-worth and her own identity, but sometimes life's road is alot easier to travel with someone you can lean on when the going gets tough and alot more fun when they are hot in bed as well, LOL!

Summary: Only for Linda Howard
Review: I searched forever to find a reprint of LH's Overload. The story of Tom and Elizabeth is great. I read their story a long time ago in a Summer Sizzler. I lost the book when my baggage was lost on a plane. I nearly cried. Elizabeth is strong but fragile, an interesting mix for the heroine. The trauma of her past has made her gun shy with men, especially Tom. If you like LH then this is must read. It is one of her earlier works so if your looking for something new then look elsewhere. Beware! You may already have this books floating around in your collection. I haven't read the Lovelace story yet. It sounds interesting, but I only bought the book for LH.

Summary: Love Linda Howard
Review: The only reason I bought this book was for the Linda Howard story, Overload, which was amazing. She is a great writer, and I was really looking forward to reading this story. I was not let down. Elizabeth works in the same building as Tom Quinlan, whom she used to have a romantic relationship with, but she broke it off. One day (on a day with a heat wave) there is a power shortage and they get stuck in the building together. Tom is glad because he really wants to know what went wrong in their relationship. This story tells you that and more. It is amazing how much Linda Howard packed into less than 100 pages. The other story was ok, but like I said, I bought this for Linda Howard, and I was not let down at all in that respect. So, if you are a Linda Howard fan, I would definitely recommend this book.

Summary: LESS FOR YOUR MONEY
Review: This is an old Linda Howard story that needed reworking before republication. It's not just that it's not PC [dominant alpha hero and the little woman yet again], it also doesn't have much story line or hold up to close inspection. The couple is stranded together in a hot building, so they strip. Sure. Just how hot would you have to be to take off your clothes in front of a man you didn't want to have sex with? Am I the only one who gets a bad headache when she gets too hot? The whole thing is too obvious a contrivance. There's better Linda Howard out there.
