This book contains books #1 & #3 of the Stanislaski series and features the 2 Stanislaski sisters, Natasha and Rachel.
Natasha's book, Taming Natasha, is one of my favorite Nora Roberts category romances and a favorite of hers overall. It's a sweetly endearing, classic romantic tale that just makes me want to smile and sigh.
The Stanislaski family, first introduced in this book, is one of my favorite all time series families. Nora Roberts excels at writing about familie More...

I am not going to review every Nora Roberts book that I have read in the past because she is quite prolific and it would get redundant and I honestly cannot remember all the plots. I think someone finds someone else attractive but at least one cannot admit it so there is sexual tension, then lots of sex, and then they live happily ever after? Sometimes there is some magic , a family legacy, or a mystery. Certainly not great works of literature (however still 100% better than “the grapes of wra

Nora Roberts' tale of two sisters will keep you turning the pages. Natasha and Rachel are different and unique in their thoughts, passion, and men. Readers will enjoy reading their stories.

This is by far one of my favourite contemporary romances series at a time when Shillouette romances were still 250 pages per book. For comfort reading I take this family saga out again and again.

I checked this out from the library so I could continue the Stanislaski series. (I had already read about Natasha and this was the only book that offered Rachel's story.) All in all it was good. Again, it's kind of fun to read a book that touches back to characters you remember and there is a little continuation to their story as well as the newer characters and their goings on. I haven't been able to decide yet on a favorite but I do have one more of the siblings to read about. We'll see!

i just re-read this book, and it is even better than i remembered. the stanislaski family, a ukranian family that escaped to come to america, is a wholly original romance book premise. the family is loud, colorful, and extremely lovable. natasha and rachel, a toy store owner and a public defender respectively, are also very unique protagonists, very strong women and protagonists that you can respect. when they fall in love it is that much more compelling.

i think I read this when I was about ten as a result of boredom at my sister's t-ball game.

The book introduces you to more members of the Stanislaski famly- Natasha and Rachel; and the men who change their lives. Besides the stories themselves, I liked how the women were portrayed as smart, independent, and passionate. I would definately would recommend this book to others.

Very similar to the MacGregors, but the family has a different nationality! Notice that the sisters are books 1 & 3, and the brothers are 2 & 4, so in order for it all to make sense, you need both books to switch back and forth! Worth it, though!

I just reread this and it was great. I should reread books more often. However, I did notice some inconsistencies between the 4 stories this time around. The timeline didn't quite work, but it has no impact on each story individually.

These double publications are sometimes a pain, because they repeat books from other double volumes, so you end up reading the same fluff twice.

I finished book 1 (Taming Natasha) on 3/23 but am waiting on the "Rachel" part of the book. I need the Stanislaski Brothers book to get stories 2 (Mikhail) & 4 (Alex).

This book contains two novellas filled with typical romance and clashing personalities that are Roberts's de rigueur. It makes for a good beach book.

A customer is making me read this since I got him addicted to Charlaine Harris - it seems to be an OK trade-off.

Nora Roberts is simply amazing. I love everything I've ever read that she has created.
