Customer Reviews

A nice romance book by the Queen of romance writing.

I have been a fan of Nora Roberts for some time now and recently read Dual Image. This book is an older title by Nora Roberts first published in 1985 as part of her Language of Love series. It is a rather typical romance book. Boy meets Girl and they fall in love but their is an obstacle to their love. Finally they are able to overcome the obstacle and true love reigns. Despite the fact that we know the ending will be a happy one, the author does a fine job of taking us on both the journey and the final destination. Dual Image is set in Manhattan and I particularly enjoyed reading about this city's landmarks as the couple travel around. But it was a bit eerie when the Twin Towers were mentioned.I do recommend this book and many others by this author. Today Dual Image has been reprinted along with Local Hero, which is also set in Manhattan, in the one volume book, Truly Madly.

An Enjoyable Read

One of Nora Roberts earlier works, Dual Image is the story of a soap opera actress, Ariel, who wants the role of a lifetime in a movie. The handsome screenplay writer, Booth, is reluctant to use her in the part. Ariel proves her talent to him and wins his respect and love. Soap fans will especially enjoy this book. Excerpt from the back of the book: As "Amanda Jamison", Ariel Kirkwood suffered through the daily traumas of a popular soap opera. Booth DeWitt had written his greatest script from the pain of his bitter marriage. Ariel knew that she wanted to play the scheming wife-a complete change from her sweet daytime heroine. But Ariel awoke the ghosts of Booth's past with her eerily perfect portrayl of his ex-wife. Could Ariel tempt him to love again?

Love in the Soap Suds

This novel is one of my favorite of Nora Roberts early work. The sexual tension is present early on and never fizzles out. The family issues that she often adds to her are also present in this one. Tension abounds the entertainment industry is well portrayed and the characters are well rounded and well drawn.KUDOS to NORA ! macanne@gte.net
