nothing new November 23, 2008 These stories all seemed to be repeats of ones I've read in the past, or at least forgettable. Not awful, just not really worth it.
Got caught twice this Christmas! November 4, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Not only did I get caught buying this re-issue of an anthology I'd already read, but I also got caught buying the re-issue of Diane Farr's ONCE UPON A CHRISTMAS. Also by published by Signet, I might add. Buyer beware.
My rating is not based on the fact that I'm angry at Signet (which I am), but on the stories which are nice and entertaining--for those reading them for the first time. Nothing outstanding, but worth reading once, and a nice seasonal escape from the Christmas rush.
I agree! If stories are recycled, state it up front, and not in small print! November 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I, too, am sick of having to look everywhere on a site to find if stories have been printed previously, especially when they turn out to be ones I've read before. (As I recall, when I first saw the paperback site months ago there was no mention about "previously published"; that fact was added later from the Kindle site.) This is the only book I've ever returned to Amazon because even though the shipping cost me a good percent of the price, I was so angry that I didn't even want to have it around. Since Christmas short stories seem to be the most prone to "recycling", I plan to NOT buy any again without first seeing the book in person. Not a good way to sell books, Amazon!!
Sneaky Signet October 29, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I, too, looked forward to this book and when I pre-ordered it, there was no indication that all of these were recycled stories. And, when you actually look at the book, the copyright dates for the individual novellas are given on a page at THE BACK of the book - now that's what I call sneaky! I am giving this two stars only because I wish to warn others - it's not a comment on the content which is fine - it includes the wonderful Carla Kelly even if I've read it before. Please, publishers, stop doing this. Why not commission some new work - there are lots of trad-regency fans who would adore to have a new regency Christmas anthology.
Yet another rip off October 21, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I LOVE Christmas anthologies and I also was excited to see that there might be a new one. I think they no longer bring those anthologies out anymore. Anyway - a rip off. Old stories. I have them all and I read them every year. Know them all. Dont cheat people why dont you just contract for new ones?
