Shadowed Stranger (Harlequin Presents)

Rating:
Summary: Sweet Old School Story
Review: This is the romance novel that I can credit with starting my love for the genre. I probably read this when I was 10 or 11, and while I now know that the story is cliched, I wanted to move to England and marry my own "Shadowed Stranger." Rick Howarth suddenly moved into Robyn Castle's neighborhood and they were thrown together in every possible way. Of course, we all know that Rick and Robyn will get together (simply because Harlequin does not make sad novels), however the story of how they get together is very sweet. I would have to say that my favorite scenes occured after Rick's little accident. There is always something very sweet about a heroine nursing the hero back to health or good spirits. I always love Harlequin because they include little extras such as the British spelling of certain words. One of the things that I liked best about this novel was the extra tidbits that were included about the history of the bicycle.
