Just put the date at the top of the first chapter so the readers knows that not everyone had a cell phone in the 90s. Another problem was how the heroine would have not known the hero was now famous because of Google. The internet wasn't as popular back then either. This is why I still buy paperbacks, I want the originals.
I prefer to read contemporary romances set in the late 80s through the 90s when technology wasn't so intrusive and it didn't solve everything.
I have her book Midnight Jewels I just noticed. Any more recommendations on her Contemporary titles? I'll add them to my TBR list. I have the lost Colony series first two books.

Oh no, I hope Linda Howard doesn't interfere with her old books; I love them as is. She should concentrate on improving her new books (they ain't all that
) and leave the good stuff alone
