I love this series, I would say it's one of my favourites series. Book number 2 and 4 are my favourite books in the series.

[Srividya]

@Stephanie.. I love this series too. Looking forward to discussing it with you :) Yes the 4th is a favourite of mine as well :) :)

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

When i first started it the series it was Laurel's book I was really excited to read and I did love it but Parker and Emma's books were the ones I fell in love with.

[Srividya]

Ah okay. I read this in order of the series and somehow fell in love with Carter first. yeah you are right Parker and Emma's love stories were really sweet. Its been a long time, nearly a year and a half or even more that I read this series. Am really excited to get back to it. In fact, am itching to start immediately! LOL

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Do you want me to make it series read?

[Srividya]

I wouldn't mind reading the entire series once again. So sure if that is possible and if Stephanie agrees, it would be great if this could be converted to a series read. :)

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

I started the series in order but getting to know all 4 woman and looking at the Synopsis of each book, it was Laurel's book that i was most excited to read. The last time I read the series was a little over a year ago so i'm excited to start reading too.

Is that yes to switch it to series read? :P

[Srividya]

LOL.. Sorry Mods. I think it is. Please switch it to series read. I am sure the two of us would definitely read the entire series again :) :)

Thank you so much mods for all the awesome work you are doing with this challenge. It hasn't started yet and I am totally beaming right now, enjoying myself :)

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

Yes would love for it to be a series read

I'm in for this but I probably won't be able to start it at the end of November. Never say never, though! I have a lot of books to read this month so we shall see. I've never read this series but have been meaning to.

[Stacey]

I've read the first 2, but will join in when it looks like everyone is getting to the 3rd and 4th. I have enjoyed the interaction with all of them so far.

[Lesley]

I'm in for this one, starting with book 1. I've got Vision in White on hold at my library and it should be in by the end of this week.

It's been quite awhile since I've read a Nora Roberts book, so I'm looking forward to it!

[Beth]

I JUST bought the first book in the series so I think I'll be joining you :)

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

I really can't wait to reread this series and to see what you guys think of it.

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

I'm gonna start this today, i'm so excited.

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

Vision in White

Prologue - Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[I love the relationship that the 4 of them have, I never had that kind of relationship with any of my friends, where you stay friends for life so it's really nice to read about that. (hide spoiler)]

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

Vision in White

Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[That was a great way to meet someone, by walking into a door. I love Carter, he's so cute and clumsy. (hide spoiler)]

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

Vision in White

Just started chapter 3 (view spoiler)[And already I want to bitch slap Mac's Mum, how could she call Mac selfish because she doesn't want to give her the 3 thousand that she's asking for when she's being the selfish one by asking for the money in the first place. (hide spoiler)]

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

chapters 3 - 6 (view spoiler)[I love the little voice mail tag they have going on, it's so cute especially when Carter stammers through what he says. (hide spoiler)]

[Beth]

Book 1- Vision in White

Prologue:
(view spoiler)[That first paragraph just sucked me right into the story. It was funny and I can tell I'm going to like the main character already (hide spoiler)]

[Srividya]

Oops.. you all have already started! Will start immediately :)

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

Chapter 7 - 8 (view spoiler)[I hate what her mum does, one call from her and her whole day goes down hill. I'm glad that Del was with her when she got the call but still, I hate that she does that to her. It's just wrong (hide spoiler)]

I felt the same way when I first read the book.

[Srividya]

Ah okay. Will start after I finish some of my morning work.

[Beth]

Vision in White

Chapter 1-
(view spoiler)[I love their friendship! Their conversations seem so fluid and not forced at all. I'm really liking the book so far and I've hardly started (hide spoiler)]

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

Chapters 9 - 10 (view spoiler)[It's so sweet that Carter cooked her dinner, and that he had a rehearsal dinner with Bob so as not to screw it up. He's just the sweetest guy. (hide spoiler)]

[Beth]

Book 1-

Chapter 2-3:
(view spoiler)[Hahahah I'm cracking up at how they meet (well not meet because they already knew each other). And I just can't get over the friendship in this book. I can already tell Nora Roberts is a strong relationship writer. (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I don't understand how a mum could do that to her daughter, like seriously and then ring twice more crying and calling her selfish again. she paid 3 thousand for her already and she's already asking for another 2. It pisses me off big time. (hide spoiler)]

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

Vision in White

Chapters 10 - 12 (view spoiler)[Poor Carter, I understand that she got scared and ran away, but how must he have been feeling thinking how amazing it was being with her and then all of a sudden her getting up and practically running from the house.

You don't realize how much actually goes on during a wedding, the whole business with the CBBM and SBP how hard it would have been to stop all that, and then Carter getting punched it the face. (hide spoiler)]

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

Vision in White

Chapter 13 - 14 (view spoiler)[And there goes her mother again, The only time she ever calls or visits is when she wants something from Mac, now she wants her car for a day.

First fight, wow Carter has a way with words and doesnt even raise his voice in a fight were as Mac loses her temper and yells. OMG he said the L word. (hide spoiler)]

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

Vision in White

Chapters 15 - 16 (view spoiler)[Ha, Linda got what she deserved when Mac had her car towed, when takes someones car for 5 days without calling to tell them why. And for her to demand the 2 hundred for her to get her car back, I'm so glad that Mac finally stood up to her and kicked her out without giving in.

Meeting Carter's ex for the first time was not what Mac expected, and to be looked at the way she way by her "like your with Carter" with a smirk on her face, and then for her to turn around and go chase after Carter when he's clearly moved on is a dick move. She's another Linda, Like Mac pointed out. (hide spoiler)]

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

Vision in White

Finished, I loved it, I love the romance and Mac and Carter make such a great couple.

Can't wait to get to the next book.

[Beth]

Vision in White

Up to chapter 7-
(view spoiler)[The phone tag was so cute. And how he was so nervous for the date and he had to ask the cashier. Too precious.

Also, loved their night out to New York. I wish I could randomly pick up the phone and get all that set up. Their lives seem so fun. I'm loving this book (hide spoiler)]

I know right (view spoiler)[He's so cute when he's flustered. It's great that they have that friendship where if one of them needs to get away and have some fun they all drop what they are doing and have a great night out. (hide spoiler)]

[Beth]

Vision in White

Chapter 8-

Savor the Moment

Chapters 1-3

I'm a sucker for stories showcasing awesome friendships and I'm a fan of the friends-turned-lovers trope so I'm enjoying this book so far. I do wonder how many years older Del is over Laurel.

Bed of Roses

This is one of my favourite books in the series, the other being book 4
