"Outstanding story, well-fleshed out characters and a big plus for those that love strong cowboys and strong backboned women."
"Absolutely loved the story but the material the book cover was made out of was VERY low quality."
"Nora Roberts has the ability to paint a scene so that you understand all the aspects going on."
"I really liked this book, but at the same time it had a serious creepiness to it."
"Every time I open a Nora Roberts novel I am transported to each place she writes about."
"Another weekend, where I couldn’t put the book down… the storyline had my heart pumping a great combination of romance and suspense."
"Exceptional story. I have yet to find another author who can paint such a picture with words."
"Loved reading this book, being there in Montana with this family. As always great character development."
Cons:
"The similarity of the names didn't help. I a!so felt there was a lot of filler that involved the managing of the ranch and horses that didn't add anything to the plot."
"Nora Roberts tried to tell two completely different stories in one book. That can work, but it didn't in this case."
"The opposite of a page turner. Well, I turned the pages so fast I didn’t read them just trying to get to the end to see 'who done it.'"
"Not enough action for me. A lot of scenes that really had nothing to do with the plot."
"Read Montana Sky by Nora Roberts. This is a terrible riff of that book, poorly hidden, terrible plot and very disappointing."
"This book was recommended for our book club, but I thought it was very shallow."
"I was surprised how thick this book is. This book starts out being dull in my opinion then somewhere around chapter 3 the book picks up then it back to being dull and boring again."
"I did start skipping pages towards the end of the book. to a predictable ending."
Writing Style
Pros:
"Nora Roberts not only deserves the reputation she has as an incredible writer, she just keeps getting better and better."
"Nora is such an excellent author I can't not read her. She does her research so well you feel that you are that character and in that place."
"She just keeps getting better."
"To me the best part of this book and her gift is that her female characters are so strong without making their men look weak."
"I always enjoy her ability to make you feel the characters are real."
"The settings are breathtaking, almost like you are right there. Couldn't put it down til I finished it."
"The characters really stood out. But the women in the novel stood out so vividly it was like viewing them on screen."
"Nora Roberts is a storyteller and. Once again, she hooked me."
Cons:
"I've become picky when choosing a BE book to read these days. The women were still either meek and mild pushover or do it all at once domineering type A personalities."
"It's been awhile since I've read a Nora Roberts book.I've mostly read the series books. This definitely had a different flow."
"The rest of the book was just downright boring."
"I had to force myself to keep reading this book hoping that it would improve."
"Same old same old- I knew as soon as the character was introduced who he was, what would happen and how it would end."
"If there had been a synopsis on the back of the book (instead of her photo), I would have never have picked it up."
"I know when’s she’s trying to lull me into a false sense of security. I know that the main characters aren’t going to get together til at least half way into the books."
"I read two-thirds of it, then the end to see if what I thought would happen did. It did."
