Frankly, the day I have the sales record and the fanbase that Nora Roberts has, will be the day I criticize her books. Though this book felt sort of "formulaic", it was a consistent read. When I pick up a Nora Roberts book, I expect to be 1.) Entertained; 2.) I expect lots of romance and heat (not overly hot...just hot. Romance readers will understand what I'm saying.), 3.) I expect the characters to fall in love despite the fact they never expected to, and 4.) I expect a H.E.A. (Because I am a giant sucker for a happy ever after.) Nora Robert's books always deliver. I repeat: They always deliver. Was I moved to tears? No. Not this time. Was I rolling on the floor with laughter? Not so much. Was I on the edge of my seat wondering when I could get back to my book? Not as much as I was with other NR books. However, this book delivered. I read it. I was satisfied after I was done. We all win. :
