  <default_description>Lunacy was Nate Burke's last chance. As a Baltimore cop, he'd watched his partner die on the street - and the guilt still haunts him. With nowhere else to go, he accepts the job as Chief of Police in this tiny, remote Alaskan town. Aside from sorting out a run-in between a couple of motor vehicles and a moose, he finds his first few weeks on the job are relatively quiet. But just as he wonders whether this has been all a big mistake, an unexpected kiss on New Year's Eve under the brilliant Northern Lights of the Alaska sky lifts his spirit and convinces him to stay just a little longer.

Meg Galloway, born and raised in Lunacy, is used to being alone. She was a young girl when her father disappeared, and she has learned to be independent, flying her small plane, living on the outskirts of town with just her huskies for company. After her New Year's kiss with the Chief of Police, she allows herself to give in to passion - while remaining determined to keep things as simple as possible. But there's something about Nate's sad eyes that gets under her skin and warms her frozen heart.

And now, things in Lunacy are heating up. Years ago, on one of the majestic mountains shadowing the town, a crime occurred that is unsolved to this day - and Nate suspects that a killer still walks the snowy streets. His investigation will unearth the secrets and suspicions that lurk beneath the placid surface, as well as bring out the big-city survival instincts that made him a cop in the first place. And his discovery will threaten the new life - and the new love - that he has finally found for himself.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a murder/mystery, and not a genre I enjoy reading. In fact I would never had read this if it hadn't come recommend by a good friend whom loves to read himself. I couldn't stand it. I only gave it 2 stars because at least the flow of the read was good. There was unnecessary sexual content tha...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66116407">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ivy thrust some Nora Roberts at me one day and said I should read it. I was very skeptical because I haven't read any romance novels in years, they seemed sorta high schoolish. I am so thankful to her for sharing this talented author, you name it, she has written about it and made the stories very i...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44587656">more...</a>]]></body>

The view from the other side is not what I imagined it to be, but it was still very cool.  <br/>2.

    <body><![CDATA[I confess I watched the Lifetime made-for-TV movie first.  As you'd expect, the characters are a lot more developed in the book.  Knowing the killer ahead of time kind of ruined the suspense part of the plot, though.<br/><br/>Generally speaking, I had a good time.

    <body><![CDATA[This is the first Nora Roberts book I have ever written and I gotta say I expected a more well rounded book. This has a wonderful plot but the dialogue is pathetic. The 'romance' sections, I found to be oddly written and rather crude. I feel that since Nora releases so many books that she just provi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44729602">more...</a>]]></body>
