Summary: Hearts at Risk wasn't any risk at all!
Review: It was wonderful to find a romance from the sixties. Jennifer and Lij's story was timeless and the opportunity to read a romance in this era was rare. Libby Hall's ability to give the reader a glimpse at this time of love beads and moon walks while not losing sight of the romance, giving the reader a romance to remember, was impressive. I look forward to seeing more romance set in the sixties and, even more so, look forward to finding more of Libby Hall's memorable stories.

Summary: Good 1960's romance
Review: This book, the 1960's entry in Harlequin American Romance's "Century of American Romance", covers the story of Jennifer Wright and Lij Brannigan.This story is set mainly during the summer of 1969. Jennifer is a reporter for a counter-culture newspaper, while Lij is a test pilot who hopes to become an astronaut. Their mutual attraction is deep. But Jennifer thinks Lij is too conservative, particularly about independent women, while Lij mistrusts Jennifer's hippie friends and lifestyle. After all, his wife Rona was killed and his daughter Amy severely brain-damaged in a car accident caused by one of Rona's hippie friends. Will they be able to overcome their very different backgrounds? I liked this book. There are very thorough descriptions of the moon landing and Woodstock, (which brings back memories for those of us who are old enough to remember!). Also, there is surprising new hope for Amy's recovery during the course of the story. Recommended.
