DUNCANS BRIDE (Linda Howard) Still reeling from a costly divorce years before, Reese Duncan wanted to marry again. However, as only hand on his ranch, he didnt have time to court. Finally, he decided to put a personal ad in several newspapers.

Duncan got 3 replies. His first visitor was Madelyn Patterson, a New Yorker who was a much a clotheshorse as his first wife. Although there was significant chemistry between them, Reese told her she wouldnt do.

Once Duncan met Madelyn, he wasnt interested in the other two. He knew it would be a mistake to marry Madelyn; she was too much like his first wife.

CHAIN LIGHTNING (Elizabeth Lowell) After an airplane crash into the ocean which cost Mandy Blythe-Cameron her husband and unborn child, she settled into a job far from airplanes and oceans.

Through the machinations of her employer, Mandy found herself on an island off the Great Barrier Reef with Damon Sutter, a troubleshooter for the foundation where they both worked. This forced Mandy to face her fears if they didnt kill her first.

POPCORN AND KISSES (Kasey Michaels) This is the only author with which I was unfamiliar. However, this is an absolutely charming story about a drive-in theatre that has outlived its glory days. Zachary St. Clair has bought it in a group of theatres and is horrified to see the disaster hes purchased.

This puts him at odds with the manager and granddaughter of the drive-ins builder, Sharon Wheeler. They lock horns early and often. There is so much detail in this story that I learned a great deal about drive-ins; they were fascinating and labor-intensive.

All the stories were worth reading but POPCORN AND KISSES was special.
