Book Reviews of Yours 2 Keep

Book Review: Decent compilation with some charming stories
Summary: 4 Stars

"Arts Magica" by Kay Hooper was one of the stand-out stories in this bunch. The hero and heroine were well-developed for a novella, and the premise was both interesting and different from the norm.

I don't normally enjoy overly sweet romantic stories, but I'll make an exception for "Gabriel's Angel." The characters and romance were very, well, sweet, and I was definitely rooting for them by the end.

"Stuck with You" is a decent story. The novella form forces the characters to undo long-time biases in a short amount of time -- a short enough time that the transition in their relationship felt abrupt. But, the characters were appealing, and I especially enjoyed the ending.

"Close Quarters" was probably the weakest of the bunch, although it's still a good read. The secondary characters were especially appealing with their mischief. But, again, the relationship transition felt awkward.

"Trouble at Midnight" is well-written, with an interesting premise. I liked the characters a lot, and enjoyed the story. But I felt a little cheated, too; this story could have used a little more development to be truly outstanding.

Despite all these criticisms, all the stories in this anthology were well-written and interesting. This is a very good read from some talented authors. (And, even better, since it's now 2001, we can look at the dire Y2K predictions and snicker. Hehe.)
