This final installment in the Key trilogy was the weakest for me. I don't know, maybe I shouldn't have read all three books in a row, because reading about the tale of the three demigoddesses' souls trapped in a box of glass and how three mortal women, the heroines, were destined to find the "keys" to release them got a bit stale this time around. It was pretty much the same basic thing all over again, and neither Zoe nor Brad, the couple du jour, was compelling enough to engage my ful

Good Conclusion to Solid Trilogy
Once upon a time and beyond the Curtain of Power, the Curtain of Dreams, there lived three Celtic demigoddesses, sisters and daughters of a Celtic king and human woman. Some in their world revolted against their existence, offended by their links to mortality. One such god, Kane, rose up against the king and his progeny, and in a moment, a single moment when the demigoddesses' protectors had dropped their guard, he attacked with swift vengeance and wicked sor More...

Of all the Key books, at a glance, it was the title of this book that already spoke volumes to me.
Fiction books have always captured me. Being able to slip into worlds I'll never step foot on. Stepping into the shoes of the hero. Feeling the laughter bubble in my gut when the humor and sarcasm of such characters pop out of the page. The warm feeling of sunlight in my chest when I see the clarity and intensity of love between family, friends and lovers. I can keep going with many more More...

The third book in the Key trilogy has only one good thing going for it - the interaction of Brad, the hero, and Simon, the heroine's son. Otherwise, we have the same old, same old. The clumsy dog, Moe, is still knocking things over and looking for cookies. The three heroes are almost interchangeable. The three heroines all speak the same way, despite Zoe's supposed lack of formal education. Zoe, the heroine, is the uber-domestic goddess. She cleans, cooks, crafts, builds a business, tends her ch

Satisfying. That is all I can say as I read the last words of Key of Valor. And yet another journey has come to an end.
In this final installment of the Key trilogy, it is more about the romance between Zoe and Bradley. It is more about how Zoe needs the courage to take the next step for her and her son, to love again, just like when she was a 16-year old. I don't have any complain, anyway. The flow of the story is just right and it's a joy to read about Zoe, Brad and Zoe's son, Simon.

The third of the Key Trilogy by Nora Roberts is certainly not the least. This time around it is the final of the couples, Zoe McCourt and Brad Vane. Bradly is a multi-millionaire business tycoon. Zoe is a single mother from the trailer park. Do opposites attract? Does a girl risk her heart to get everything? Can the evil god be defeated? What do you think? No real surprises here but the characters are much more likable than the middle two.

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

It is true. I have no self-restraint and stayed up way too late reading this book (of course, it might also have something to do with drinking a latte at 5 in the afternoon!). Of the series, this was the story that I was most looking forward to reading. The first two books both offered lots of lead-up to this story of the third seeker, which was very appropriate considering the characters involved. Unfortunately, it just didn't satisfy whatever it was I was looking for. The lead-up in the previo

I think this book was absolutely amazing, I just love how Nora Roberts brought Zoe and Brad together and then Simon was just adorable...and funny :-)
This last book of the trilogy to me strayed a bit from the quest of finding the key and kinda focused more on the romance between brad and Zoe but it still worked out okay for me.
Nora really brought out the characters of this trilogy and it was as if I was actually living through their eyes...if that makes sense :-s

I had never read a Nora Roberts book before I started the Key Trilogy. I considered her a romance author and I'm not a fan of romance novels. On the recommendation of a friend I read this book and really enjoyed it. It's light reading that's fun. There is a fair amount of romance but there was also a mystery to keep my mind occupied. I didn't rate this book five stars because I consider this light and entertaining reading. It didn't go the extra mile to become a book that I will remember f

"Typical Nora Roberts" – which means, actually quite a good read.
Nora Roberts does wonderful romance -- characters who come alive (including a great dog!), and moving, believable relationships. Not just the romance, but friendship, both the lifelong friendship between the three male characters and the developing friendship between the three female characters.

This book concludes Roberts's Key Trilogy, in which mortal women quest to unlock the spellbound souls of ancient demigoddesses. The third and last woman to make the attempt is hairstylist Zoe McCourt. Like her friends Malory and Dana-heroines of the previous installments (Key of Light, Key of Knowledge)-Zoe has a single month and a cryptic set of clues with which to find her key. The angry sorcerer Kane fights her efforts as friends both mortal and immortal lend their support. As she searches, Z

Zoe McCourt is the last one to have to find the key, if she doesn't her friend's work will have been in vain and the Daughters of Glass will continue locked up in their coffins. Zoe is a single to Simon and a fighter. She has come a long way since she lived with her mother and 3 siblings in a trailer. But she doesn't feel that she has any special aptitude unlike Malory and Dana. She is also very uncomfortable with the fact that she is being courted by Bradley, who being a rich and educated execu

I could review each of the book in this trilogy individually...but...this will be fine. These books are really silly and suuuuper mooshy. This is why it was kind of funny that I would read them because I'm not really like that. It was a guilty pleasure to be sure. Plus I was surprised a coworker at the church world recommend such a raunch. book. I can't lie and said I didn't like it, but I think it would have been funny to see my face during certain parts.

I loved this trilogy and Susan Ericksen only made it better! Zoe, single mom of Simon, never had much her life, taught to fend life single-handed and never to give her heart away again. When Bradley Charles Vane IV plowed into her life, was she repeating her mistake? There were so many great moments that had me choked and laughed out loud, then there were moments eyes filled with tears, of course, there were plenty of sweetness to go around.
Such a pleasant read

It's the yearly Nora Roberts read-a-thon. I blame my father. They're his books. But I have to say that although this series had the same "Oh look! Three awesome women! Three sexy but realistic-sorta men! Let's play matchy match! Oh and there's a bad guy and a quest and blah whatever." thing going on, I still found it pretty entertaining.
I will admit that Nora Roberts does create really sexy male characters. I hate her a little for it.

I love Zoe and Brad's story a lot! I like the fact that Zoe's character evolved from a simple, innocent 16 year-old, then struggled as a single mom,made a mark of her own,molded to be a very strong and determined young woman and turned out to be the warrior among the three chosen ones. And here comes a man who is just as strong and determined as she is...very much meant for each other. Love this trilogy!

Out of the three books of the key trilogy, this is the one where i have trouble connecting to the character, due to the lack of similarities, Zoe and i share. She is a single mother that gave birth to her baby during her work shift at a reknown supermarket. I can't ever imagine that happening to me... hopefully. The reason why i love reading this series is because it does a really good job of implying a fantasy world, into reality. It seems like something i would watch on the sci-fi channel. And

This was the first time I read a trilogy. Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors and well known for her trilogies as well as stand alone novels. Fantastic story line that takes you in, befriends you and keeps you guessing until the end. In classic Roberts way you will find twists that bend your mind long after you are finished with her books.
