My main complaint about this line of books is the repetitive nature of the plots, which is found in both of the stories here. Goodnight's story is basically the female character doesn't want to talk to the male character because he hurt her in the past. Manley's story is two people who have been hurt by love in the past not wanting to love again because of the hurt it could bring. Both themes have been used ad nauseum in this genre so if one wants to wow me, the story has to be something special. These really aren't, though I did enjoy the interaction of the girls in Manley's story.
My other complaint is that if you pay attention in Goodnight's book, the result of Manley's book is already known. In fact, for quite a while, I was griping that the publisher should have put Manley's book first in the collection to avoid telegraphing that--but then, in Manley's book, there's at least one line that indicates the main characters from Goodnight's book are seeing each other. So, which story occurred chronologically first? Taken together, both stories have inconsistencies that say they can't even be taking place at approximately the same time. ( )
