REVIEW:  The Witness by Nora Roberts

REVIEW: The Witness by Nora Roberts

Dear Ms. Roberts: I’ve always been a fan of the single title romantic suspense books you’ve written over the straight contemporaries which is probably why some of the J.D. Robb books are my favorite in the JD Robb/Nora Roberts bibliography. In this 200th book you’ve published, you display exactly why you’ve managed to capture reader’s(…)

REVIEW: The Next Always by Nora Roberts

REVIEW: The Next Always by Nora Roberts

Meet the Montgomery brothers – Beckett, Ryder, and Owen – as they bring an intimate bed-and-breakfast to life in their hometown. The historic hotel in Boonsboro, Maryland, has endured war and peace, the changing of hands, and even rumored hauntings.

REVIEW:  The Search by Nora Roberts

REVIEW: The Search by Nora Roberts

Dear Ms. Roberts: I have to confess that my enjoyment of The Search is based in large part of my personal circumstances and therefore my review could be wildly inaccurate for others. The Search is about a search and rescue dog.   I mean, it is more than that but it is primarily about dogs, the(…)

GAME REVIEW: Nora Roberts’s Vision in White

GAME REVIEW: Nora Roberts’s Vision in White

How could I resist another HOG (hidden object game) adaptation of a romance novel? This time, it’s  Vision in White, based on the first book of Nora Roberts’s contemporary romance  Bride Quartet series. The book series revolves around four childhood friends, who share a love for weddings that led each to develop a speciality of their own:(…)

GAME REVIEW: Harlequin Presents:  Hidden  Object of Desire

GAME REVIEW: Harlequin Presents: Hidden Object of Desire

Sometime last year I heard about Harlequin Presents: Hidden Object of Desire, created by Gunnar Games, for BigFishGames.com. As a veteran traditional adventure gamer and long-time romance reader but new to Hidden Object Gaming (HOG), I couldn’t resist giving Harlequin Presents: Hidden Object of Desire a try, so I bought a downloadable copy. The official(…)

REVIEW: Black Hills by Nora Roberts

Dear Ms. Roberts: One thing that you never fail to do is make the setting come alive. The South Dakota Black Hills have never sounded so welcoming, so engaging than in your book, Black Hills. The story is in three parts and while I am never a fan of flashbacks, I did feel like the(…)

REVIEW: Vision in White by Nora Roberts

Dear Ms. Roberts: While I haven’t read all of your books, I’ve read a great many of them and I think I can safely say that Vision in White is one of the funniest books you’ve penned in a long time. I thought Carter Maguire, the clumsy, blushing, tweed wearing, Yale educated, English lit teacher(…)

REVIEW: Tribute by Nora Roberts

Dear Ms. Roberts: Usually your single title books work for me and work well. It’s the single titles, not the JD Robb books or the categories, that made me a fan. Unfortunately, I never quite grasped hold of the characters in Tribute. I like Cilla well enough but Ford, well, I did not lose the(…)

GUEST REVIEW: Holding the Dream by Nora Roberts

GUEST REVIEW: Holding the Dream by Nora Roberts

The following guest review/letter comes from author Jenyfer Matthews whose latest release, One Crazy Summer, is available in ebook form. *** The nicest thing my ex-SIL ever did was introduce me to Nora Roberts books. She gave me a box of her castoffs with the warning that they were formulaic but fun. Included in the(…)

REVIEW: High Noon by Nora Roberts

Dear Ms. Roberts: Most readers say the same thing about you and that is you consistently deliver good, solid reads. But as with all authors, particularly those with ginormous backlists (and yes, ginormous is now an official word), some books are better than others. When I started this book, I was a little apprehensive wondering(…)

REVIEW: Carnal Innocence by Nora Roberts

Dear Ms. Roberts: If I were to rate my favorite books by my favorite authors, this would probably qualify. It’s full of classic Nora Roberts features: three dimensional characters, rich family relationships (albeit dysfunctional), and two believable individuals coming together to give each other comfort and love. Your books aren’t about the big and grand(…)
