Nora Roberts; Jill Gregory; Ruth Ryan Langan; Marianne Willman Once Upon a Midnight (Once Upon)
Jove 2003 0515136190 / 9780515136197 Paperback Good
0515136190 From Publishers Weekly Midnight plays but a token role in this latest Once Upon a... anthology (after Once Upon a Kiss), with the exception of the solid offering from Roberts, who easily outclasses her companions. Roberts's "The Witching Hour" is a fantastical but slow-to-start romance between a warrior and the woman destined to save the magical island of Twylia. Gregory, best known for her western romances, also offers a pleasant fantasy in a medieval setting ("Mirror, Mirror"), but her protagonists, a feisty young healer and a wounded knight, are little more than rough sketches. The final two stories-Langan's saccharine, ghost-aided romance ("Dream Lover") and Willman's conventional werewolf tale ("The Midnight Country")-are strangely set in the present. Both, however, feature prosaic characters and improbabilities aplenty. In Langan's story, for example, the protagonists meet on a blind date, fall in love and find their happily ever after in a single day. Two equally far-fetched twists allow the protagonists in Willman's entry to find happiness. Overall, the skimpy character and plot development and awkward mishmash of historical and contemporary elements may convince readers that this series has played itself out. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. Product Description All-new tales of love and enchantment from the New York Times bestselling authors of Once Upon a Kiss.

Nora Roberts; Jill Gregory; Ruth Langan; Marianne Willman Once Upon a Rose
Jove 0515131660 / 9780515131666 MASS MARKET PAPERBACK Good
0515131660 Mass Market Paperback, 389 pages. G. Lite wear, creases, otherwise a solid unmarked copy. Jove Books, 2001. Romance, Anthology. From Booklist: Roses link four novellas by four romance writers. The best is Roberts' powerful fairy tale of a kingdom imprisoned in ice and snow that features a wounded hero from another land who appreciates all that the young hardworking queen does for her people, even risking her own life to magically heal those who need it. Marianne Willman's story is about the daughter of a king hidden from the evil sorceress queen by means of an amulet forged with rose petals. Jill Gregory's tale is of a princess who, upon her twentieth birthday, will lose the protection that has kept her hidden from the evil sorcerer who had slain her family. Her only hope of surviving is to marry a man with a magical sword. Ruth Ryan Langan tells of a mute girl in war-torn Scotland and a wounded warrior. As with all collections, some stories will appeal more to some readers than to others. Diana Tixier Herald Copyright ? American Library Association. All rights reserved
