Search - Truly, Madly Manhattan

This is a 2 novel book in one. The first novel was good; I just couldn't get into the second novel.

Two Stories in this one...LOCAL HERO is about a comic-book writer who falls for a single mom with a young son and avid comic-book reader. The writer is quite a character and really a kid at heart. DUAL IMAGE is about a soap opera actress who gets a shot at starring in "made for tv" movie, but finds the part that she really wants is to become the wife of the silent and moody screenplay writer. Both stories are memorable and quick to read.

Two books in one, both very enjoyable, light reads. Nora Roberts doing what she does best, stories about love and the people who want it, those who try to avoid it and how they seem to always get together.

Enjoyed this book - two short stories that told a story of love lost and found.

Nora Roberts is one of my favorite romance authors because her works never disappoint me. This paperback is a re-issue of two previously published stories set in Manhattan. Since "Local Hero" was originally published in 1988 and "Dual Image" in 1985, both stories could use some updating of minor details like technology and characters smoking, but the stories still held my interest. When you need a reliable romance, this gives you a double bang for the buck.

I only read the first novel. It was so thoroughly predictable that I couldn't bear to read the second.
