Summary: A cute romance
Review: Maggie Kelley has come a long way since she left behind her oft-married mother in Potter's Junction, Wisconsin to seek a new life in Chicago. Now on the eve of the millennium, Maggie is engaged to marry the affluent bastion of society Colin Spencer even if she has doubts about love. At the big New Year's Eve event, Colin and Maggie are to announce their wedding plans to everyone. Her long-term friend and mentor international reporter Luke Fitzgerald is shockingly jealous of the upcoming nuptials. Her best friend Isabelle Channing believes Maggie is marrying the wrong man. At the reception with midnight arriving, Colin is missing, apparently ditching Maggie at the very last moment. To his shock, Luke realizes he loves Maggie and would do anything to make her hurt go away. He also believes that she loves him too, but will she listen to her heart that incessantly beats to the drum of his and realize her bud is her soul mate? ONCE A HERO is an entertaining contemporary romance that centers on changing of relationships as time goes by. The story line is fulfilling as the lead couple's motivations are fully developed. Luke lives up to the title billing as a hero and Maggie is a warm, intrepid woman overcoming her "genes". Kate Hoffman makes the end of the Millennium fun for sub-genre fans. This romance and the simultaneously taking place tale (ALWAYS A HERO) starring Colin and Isabelle gloriously open the new century in triumph. Harriet Klausner
