The return of Nora: The Lost Bride Trilogy

Inheritance by Nora Roberts

The Mirror by Nora Roberts

The Seven Rings by Nora Roberts

by Leave a Comment

Nora’s got a new trilogy out there, and I stumbled across the first book quite by accident right after it came out, like TWO YEARS AGO. And the first book just…ended, and it was the first time in awhile that I was mad at Nora for not having the others ready. It was a pretty big cliffhanger, even if I can’t remember all the details because it was a thousand years ago. And then she took SO LONG to get the second one out, and […]

Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts

Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts

by Leave a Comment

Please not that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Wow. I got nothing. This was pretty awful. I don’t even know what the point of this one was. It was so lackluster. Things happen, serial killers run about Maryland, and then more things happen. The book ends. I honestly wish that Roberts would just write a straight up thriller and ditch the romance. You can see her heart is not in it much anymore. Her latest romantic […]

I give up

Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts

by 6 Comments

I think La Nora’s next book should be about serial killers who flip houses and not the cops who catch them. There were two places in Hidden Nature where it felt like Nora Roberts was interested in what she was writing – the home renovation and the icky serial killers. Ok, there was a third area where she perked up – when she was writing about dogs. But, I think we all agree that the dogs and the serial killers should be kept separate. Her […]

How about some vintage Nora to start the year off?

Chesapeake Bay by Nora Roberts

by 1 Comment

This is actually what I read to end the year because mentally, I couldn’t manage much else. I needed the book equivalent of like, season 7 Law & Order, where I don’t have to pay attention to much except when Lenny Briscoe has a good one liner. And it was available on Kindle through the library, so I could read in bed while awake from 2:30 to 4:30 every morning. Christmas season is tough, y’all.  So’s menopause, for those of you wondering. Anyway, Nora loves a […]

How do you review Nora Roberts?

Mind Games by Nora Roberts

by 1 Comment

I was given an arc of Nora Roberts Mind Games a few weeks ago. One of the reasons she has such a large and loyal following is that she is so consistent in her writing. The stories are not exactly the same and she moves around in the subgenres of romance, but every one of her books has a familiarity. I generally know exactly what I’m going to get when I open a Nora Roberts book. I read a lot of her books at a […]

58th Verse, same as…

Random in Death (In Death #58) by J. D. Robb

by 6 Comments

J. D. Robb is back with the 58th installment of her long-running In Death series, Random in Death. For those of you who don’t know, Robb is the nom de plume that Nora Roberts uses to write futuristic mysteries. We are getting uncomfortably close to the time when a lot of bad stuff happens in her timeline, and I sometimes wonder just how prescient she has been. But that’s a discussion for another time and place. If you are a longtime reader of the series, you will […]
