A fun magical romp with the feel of a fairy tale where story lines get wrapped up nicely and the trials the hero’s face are not too scary. Interesting themes that make it very relatable.

I liked the way the author delved into serious issues like addiction without making the book feel tedious. I also thought it was fun how we didn’t know Kaz’s plans in advance so that we always were surprised as they unfolded!

I guessed who the murder victim was and who the murderer was almost immediately but the author wrote in enough other possible baddies to keep the suspense up, so it was by no means boring. An enjoyable light read.

Standard Nora Roberts book - people falling in love at first sight. Nora’s characters never let the gruesome murders of their friends, family and and neighbors dampen their blossoming romance (or their lust). Also one thing the kept bugging me… is it normal for a house sitter to have her friends, boyfriends, random strangers over to the house? Seems like owners might not want a troupe of people traipsing through their space.

When I started this off I was worried it was going to be too much simplistic mythology that would soon get boring… but the author really brought the characters to life and made me care about them. I cried halfway through this book when certain events passed and felt silly being so emotionally involved in a story that so frequently uses the names Thor, Odin and Loki. This book reminded me a lot of Circe, the author uses a historical time and mythological setting as a foundation then builds up the novel by exploring the less known figures and weaving their stories in with more mainstream folklore. I would definitely recommend!

This is not a Pulitzer, but a fun look into a family run business (Nora likes that plot device), throw in a ton of affairs, murder, corporate sabotage, wine, parties, international travel and a parallel romance storyline and you have some summer escapism. I will say I did like this better then some of her darker works, in several of her books she gets too in-depth into the villain and it’s unsettling to jump from a graphic rape and murder scene right back to a sensuous love scene. This book had murder and suspense nicely sprinkled through to keep tension but was not too dark. Relationship between the younger couple hasn’t aged well, but hey it’s a romance murder/suspense book written circa late 1990s (my best guess) lots of talk about palm pilots. Go in with suitably low expectations and it will be a fun distracting read.

I don’t know who wants to read steamy sex steams juxtaposed against creepy rape torture scenes, this book was just too much. By the end of the book everyone spoke like Alice in these repetitive phrases that just drove me nuts. Really gratuitous with the details of violence and captivity. Def NOT one of my fav Norah Roberts books.

These books are not psychological thrillers filled with sex and gore, however they are clean interesting well thought out suspenseful books that will keep you interested and immerse you in the lives of the diverse cast of characters. Love the under suspicion premise and this was one of the stronger books in the series. I appreciate that these books are fairly upbeat and I can always count on them to have a happy ending, I am engaged and what to know what is next without feeling completely stressed out about the events unfolding!

Light predictable escapism, no suspense as we are told who the bad guys are up front. Did not like the fact that they just glossed over the early domestic abuse in the relationship like leaving bruises on someone can be brushed away with flowers. But it was written a long time ago, narrated sounded like she was an extra in gone with the wind. But Dora’s character was fun and i loved that she was unapologetically a bit materialistic and bratty.
