Book Reviews of High Noon
Book Review: Glad to get a hold of this one!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to say, I am a looooong time reader of Nora Roberts' work. For the last couple of years, her books have kind of taken a detour. Lots of those three in one books and some written in genres that I don't really care for. Not bad at all, just not my personal taste.
That said, I was sooo glad to get a hold of this newer book, High Noon. Nora really does an outstanding job mapping out her characters, making them vivid and helping the reader really get acquainted with them and the settings of her stories. Lieutennant Phoebe MacNamara and her family and friends as well as the villains of this story are shining examples of Nora's talent in this area. The plot was gripping, the mystery was riveting, and the romance provided just the right balance for such a colorful story. High Noon is my favorite class of Nora's writing although she's done amazing, amazing work from all kinds of genres, plots, story lines throughout the year. I would highly recommend it to anyone, her fans or people that may not be familiar with her work. Well done!
Nora, thank you, since I have had my daughter back in 06, this is the first book I have been able to "eat" like I used to. Loved it, couldn't put it down, and I can't wait to see your next one! You are the reason I keep my eyes on the book aisle at the store, thanks for sharing your talents.
Book Review: Got a kick out of it!
Summary: 4 Stars
What a strong woman Phoebe is - she is smart and clear thinking. I thought the way she handled the stairway incident was very good. This type of thing happens and it's good that Phoebe shows that it's okay to be a victim as long as you don't allow that to define you.
I loved Duncan. What a way to get rich! I thought he was very good with Phoebe's mother, loved the flowers for the daughter. The way he makes others a part of his family makes him a very lucky person and he seems to understand that.
All in all, I thought it was well worth the reading time and would recommend it to others. It's not a red hot romance but it's a really nice story.

I really liked the book. I bought the book on tape and Susan Erikson does a fabulous job as the reader. I'm a huge J.D. Robb fan and this had a similar "feel" to it.Book Review: High Noon
Summary: 3 Stars
There was a lot of action in this book. More drama than romance. And a lot of boring stuff too. The story is more centered around Phoebe's job than Duncan, unfortunately. I loved Duncan, and wanted to read more about them together.
The dialogue was something that I couldn't ignore. I disliked it. It was kind of annoying the way they talked. Who talks like that?
Book Review: Ho hum....
Summary: 2 Stars
Nora Roberts can write in a variety of 'voices.' This time she writes about Phoebe MacNamara, hostage negotiator. The ultimate climax of the tale is when Phoebe is at the center of a negotiation. What brings her there is a long boring story. Explaining the ultimate direction of the book by its end is so far fetched. The characters, by and large, are somewhat simple and don't hold your interest. Where there might be a plot line to explore, it meets a dead end time after time.
Wish it had been better.
