review 1: I liked the first novella in this book better than many reviewers seem to have. I love photography and the two main characters are photographers. There were few details that "dated" the story a little -- the fact that they were shooting and developing film (which I know is still in use, but a lot less than back in the '80s when the book was written) and the lack of technology like cell phones and the Internet. Also, the main male character smoked and while I'm sure you could still find characters who smoke in current fiction, it doesn't seem to come up much in romance or women's fiction. The tide has changed on that particular habit! I didn't like the second story as much as the first. I felt that the female lead was more fully fleshed out than the male lead. The male lead... more was a bit too pushy for my taste, right from the moment they met. I liked him a bit better by the end. The book overall was okay, but not as good as other Nora Roberts books I've read.
review 2: First is One Summer - This story was a complete bore. I'd give it 1 star. I typically enjoy Nora Roberts but One Summer was pointless. The story was a straight line to the ending with no twists, turns, or problems. Every chapter told the same story with no forward progress and no plot. It was just a story about 2 people who fell in love in a traditional way. No fantasy, no passion, no excitement. Second was Temptation - this was better. Cute, short, enjoyable. less
