Mountain Dreams

I finished Mountain Dreams a couple of days ago, and have been struggling ever since with this review. Mountain Dreams is an anthology containing two complete novels by the same author. These stories were purposefully published together because they each deal with innocent young heroines, secret agent heroes who think the women are something they aren’t, time spent on a mountain, and an umbrella. I’m not sure putting the two stories together was a good idea. They are so similar it was like reading the same story twice … except the first story was the better read by far (and the umbrella worked in the first story, but made no sense in the second).
