I picked up this romance anthology to read "Across a Crowded Room" by Judith O'Brien.

Nicole Lovett's new job has led her to Savannah, Georgia, where she works for a small TV station and moves into her late Aunt Adele's house. When a new position opens up at work, Nicole is sure she will get the job. Instead it is given to Martha Cox, a former Miss Georgia and Nicole's high school nemesis. When Martha arrives in Savannah she visits Nicole and unknowingly eats a piece of fruitcake that Aunt Adele made nearly half a century ago, Nicole hopes she gets a stomach ache. Instead, Martha disappears from her hotel room and never shows up for her first day of work. Nicole is sure that Martha has died from ingesting the fruitcake; and the cute guy who asked her out must be a cop trying to get the the goods on her. Christopher Quinn claims to be a writer; but is he a homicide detective trying to get a confession from Nicole?

I enjoyed the first-person narrative in this short story. I found it very amusing and loved her use of sarcasm. The romance was very light and we didn't get to know the Christopher very well. If you're looking for a nice in-depth romance, skip this one. If you want a funny story with a somewhat ditzy heroine, you might like this one. My rating: 4 Stars.

Stories are okay. The story by Brenda Joyce is the best.
