Love Letters (Arabesque)
Published in time for Valentine's Day, this anthology of contemporary novellas makes use of various holiday festivities and brings readers three appropriately heartwarming romances. Former lovers rediscover and finally accept each other in Rochelle Alers's upscale, trendy "Hearts of Gold"; an outwardly conservative romance editor and a free-lance copy editor find romance both on the Internet and in real life in Donna Hill's light and often funny "Masquerade"; and a police widow and her husband's former partner put the deceptive past behind them and claim a love that was there all the time in Janice Sims's slightly more serious "To Love Again." As expected, the stories vary in quality and style but should appeal to most readers. All three authors have written earlier romances for the Arabesque line (Hill and Alers, whose new book is reviewed above, are veterans); Hill lives in Brooklyn and Sims in Mascotte, Florida.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
