Anathology so mom and me will review book by book.
Sailor’s Moon by Merlin’s Lovelace
By far this was mom’s favorite. If this book stood alone mom would have given the rating of four stars. It is acation packed with a lot of emotion. Mom love how the hero and heroine had great chemistry even though they met under such awe full circumstances.
White Fire by Susan King
This was not bad, but for all the action one would think it would contain, going by the description, it surprisingly did not have as much. Some parts of the mystery remind mom of a Nancy Drew or Scooby Doo episode.
The Devil’s Own Moon by Miranda Jarrett
This one had a similar problem where it seemed a lot of action was promised but not as much was given. Also the chemistry between the hero and the heroine seemed off. The heroine’s problem seemed to be resolved weirdly. More like the problem disappaired then it really was resolved.
Over all not a bad read. Just that the action that mom felt she was promised, was not really there.

A trio of romances, pretty peaceful reading, nothing too exciting but easy on the mind. All three stories were typical "Harlequin" romances.

I'll review each separately
Sailor's Moon by Merline Lovelace: This was my favorite story of the whole set. The ending was a little rushed feeling, but all in all I felt that it was the most well rounded of the three. I especially liked Lady Stanton, Elizabeth. She was simply unrepentant about her ways--the only thing she really regretted was her lack of foresight. But moreso then her brash attitude and devil-may-care regard for society, I thought it was refreshing that she didn't prove her 'wildness' through being a consummate wanton. As for the American, Richard, I liked him as well. It was also a nice touch that there was so much history explained--Lovelace didn't just assume the reader knew the particulars of that time period's strife.
White Fire by Susan King: Pretty straight forward lovers reunited tale. I admit to being a little confused on how Simon expected to be both the Law Enforcer and keep his (adopted) kinsmen out of trouble as free traders. He made a big deal throughout the story of needing to do things because he was the 'excise man', but would reassure the Colvins (Jenny's family and the family that raised him) that they were safe from the law. I liked Jenny, she was a spitfire and romance needs more of her ilk in historical novels. Simon was well enough, but he was wallowing in self-recriminations and pity a bit too much for my tastes.
The Devil's Own Moon by Miranda Jarrett: The synopsis made this sound sort of like a combination of the two other stories, but I oddly didn't care for this too much. It needed more fleshing out and might have made me happier.
I did enjoy reading two new authors that I hadn't before read in the genre (King and Lovelace) and look forward to finding more by both.
