The mystery was good, but the main characters weren't as engaging as I usually find in a Nora Roberts book. And I'm not a fan of the equally-passionate-in-anger-and-in-sex type of relationship. Anger, to me, is something that hurts and causes distance, and shuts down desire. I understand that not everyone feels that way, but I had a hard time connecting to Callie and Jake, individually or as a couple, because of their almost constant sparring for at least the first half of the book. Full reviewSecond time around and still loved it...review to come...
What I love about Nora Roberts is her focus on connections and relationships, whether they are families, lovers, friends, whatever. It's absolutely central to every story. In her trilogies, there are always 6 main characters: 3 men, 3 women. Obviously, they will pair up, but there are also deeper connections made within the group. The conflict or mystery of the plot will not get solved until all the characters work together, and there's always a part of the story that each pair works on
This book became one of my favorite Nora Roberts books. Roberts explores multiple sides of the kidnapped child and depicts all those conflicting feelings so well! Unfortunately, I left this review too long and have forgotten much of what I wanted to be sure to say about it.Quick summary based on my unreliable memory: the villains were a bit one-dimensional when it all comes together. That said, it kept me guessing throughout and not in a cheap way, either. I loved the exploration of Callie and
Rated 4.3 StarsAnother great from Nora Roberts! Fabulous story with several plots going intertwined. There's a archeological dig at a burial site that was discovered. 5000 years old! There's a child kidnapping that comes to light, which had taken over place 20 years ago. And, there's a 2nd chance romance for a divorced couple. All three of these things are connected. However, it was slow at times. I had to put it down sometimes. Overall though, it was a very well put together romantic suspense.
Author: Nora RobertsFirst published: 2003Length: 494 pagesSetting: Contemporary, mostly at an archaeological site on Antietam Creek, near Woodsboro, Maryland.Sex: Explicit. Infrequent. Between more than one couple.Hero: AnthropologistHeroine: Archaeologist.Trigger: Child kidnapping. No abuse.One of Roberts long romantic-suspense books, heavy on the story, light on the romance. Enjoyable enough for what it is.Basically, Roberts gives us a riff on fate and circles and how what happened yesterday,
So good! I loved all the little stories rolled into one. I loved the characters and the twists and turns.
