Book Reviews of Angels Fall
Book Review: Fattening
Summary: 4 Stars
My second Nora Roberts read, Sanctuary was the first. Liked them both, but couldn't understand why my diet was no longer working. Both books describe food in great detail, sending me in search of it. The romance and mystery were neatly balanced. I look forward to reading more of Nora Roberts.Book Review: Like Chocolate on a BAD Day...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have over a dozen favorite authors, in all genres, but NR is definitely on the list. First off, I'm amazed that she has been such a prolific writer, while continuing to crank out the level of entertainment she provides. Yeah, much of her work is frequently described as formulaic, but when I need a relaxing, comfort read, I turn to NR. Nora and a little piece of chocolate and I'm healed.
I loved this read! It was like a brief vacation, with Nora's ability to so perfectly describe the environment. I could almost smell the fresh, crisp air of the Grand Tetons and sense the critters hiding in the mountains and swimming in the streams. It made me wish to pitch a tent and stay a while.
Then here comes Reece, sputtering into town in her overheated Chevy Cavalier, battling severe PTSD, with mistrust of everyone, including herself. She hasn't been able to land and stay anywhere very long. She's been on an aimless journey, running from herself and her own emotions, after a near death experience. Her car trouble grounds her long enough, that she begins to realize she can't change anything about her past, except her reactions to it. She learns she needs to fortify her backbone. Some of it---the hard way.
The secondary characters are very entertaining, particularly Brody who shows guarded interest in Reece. She's cute, but he's just not that interested, until he is involuntarily dragged into what may have been a murder scene, witnessed by Reece. Or, is Reece just a little unreliable, considering her traumatic event? Many would say she has the right to have some brief, reactive psychotic episodes, considering her past. She does come off a little quirky, sometimes. Time will tell.
The Cafe patrons', where Reece lands a job, are fun to visit with and you feel like you're sitting at the counter, sipping a cup of coffee, while eavesdropping. The cantankerous Cafe owner is a hoot. She is...and isn't, what she appears to be, on many levels. I found her a delightful dichotomy between Drill Sergeant and nurturer, in a crusty, believable way.
If you're a NR fan, I'm quite sure you will find much to love with this read. And, if you're not, you probably still will, too. It's a great reminder that women have internal strength that can pull us through almost anything---if we just remember to make it our mission to connect with it---regularly. Also, that women need to stand up and mentor other women in crisis. We are one!
Book Review: Loved it!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved loved loved this book! This is definitely one of my all time favorites of hers. I just couldn't put it down and I really loved how the characters weren't the cliche typical characters in most the books I read. And I also really liked the male love interest- he was funny and witty and just a breathe of fresh air! And for once I hadn't already figured who did it at the end and was suprised which in itself was a nice suprise :) This is a must read for any Nora Roberts fans.Book Review: Nora does it again!
Summary: 5 Stars
Once again, Nora Roberts superbly writes a murder mystery that keeps you turning the pages. The heroine is very likeable because she is imperfect like most of us. It was gratifying to see her successfully reach each milestone during her recovery process from a horrifically tragic event. The best part was she didn't have to do it alone. She makes some wonderful friends in Angels Fist, Wyoming, and I guarantee you will fall in love with each one of these characters. This includes the reluctant hero, Brody, who did not sign up for the job and never wanted any part of the action. But he's a keeper! The dialogue throughout the book is wonderful because it makes you feel as if you are right there watching the story unfold. That is the gift of a good writer and Nora Roberts has hit the mark again!Book Review: Romance and a Thriller

This book has it all , Romance and a Thriller .
To me it is the best of Nora Roberts .

But Reece see's something on that trail and as she is running she bumps into Brody and it is Brody that ..... Sorry you got to read the book to find out what happened to Reece on the trail and to see how Brody handles all this . Trust me it is well worth reading .
