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.
