*sigh*This is a Nora Roberts, so of course I bought and read it—or tried to. Many people I’m sure do the same, and that’s why Roberts can afford to toss out this kind of crap. Brand recognition is priceless in marketing.Roberts wrote this story years ago, except it was titled Montana Sky, and it was so much better.Let me tell you what happened the first quarter—or “part†as Roberts likes to section it unnecessarily. We jump back and forth from past to present between a young woman who was abducted and forced to experience unspeakable horrors—I mean, been there, done that, in Roberts’ books alone—and the heroine, who does the most truly fascinating thing I’ve ever read—she goes through her morning routine, then goes to work, puts together agendas, and attends meetings.Yeah. Seriously.This book was so boring that at one point, maybe about a third of the way through, I got sick of spacing off and having to reread passages that I just shook my head and started flipping through pages, trying to find something exciting or even just interesting. So many scenes were irrelevant to any plot, whether it was the thriller or the romances. Some scenes were fluffy bits of nonsense with one important line thrown in. What a tangled, tedious mess of tones and points of view. Just a mess.I knew Bo and Cal were supposed to be the main characters, but honestly, this wasn’t their book. If it was anyone’s, it was Alice’s, though we got to spend time with just about everyone, which annoyed the crap out of me. There was no focus. The book wanted to be too many things at once, and ultimately didn’t manage any of them. I didn’t care about the characters. Cal’s horse, Sundown, had more personality than he and Bo combined. And “Bodine Longbowâ€? Really? Did Roberts find a name generator website, select the categories of ‘hick’ and ‘western,’ and go with the first random name it threw at her? She’s used the name Bodine in at least two other books (Carolina Moon and Born in Shame, though in the former it was spelled “Bodeenâ€).(Apologies to anyone named Bodine Longbow.)It was just such a retread of many of Roberts' books. The Bodine name, a ranch in Montana, all the siblings in the same family falling in love at the same time, a religious fanatic villain who takes the Bible literally, a not-so-unexpected family connection to the villain (I suspected him the moment I met him), and an obvious misdirect. There was even a wedding and the planning thereof. It's not identical to Montana Sky or any other book, but it's far too similar for its own good.So yeah, I didn’t read the whole thing; I just read the parts that included Alice, because she was the most interesting character out of the lot, the only one with an arc. And honestly, I don’t feel I missed anything.To be fair, though, the writing style was pretty good, even if the story crafted in that style was crap. Roberts is exceptionally talented—if only she would write a story that isn’t a waste of her time and ours. If I had any complaints about the writing itself, it would be that there wasn’t enough action or physical description with dialogue, like mannerisms or facial expressions. We were largely left to assume the tone implied, and sometimes I had to stop and puzzle over the nuances within a conversation. If you aren’t accustomed to how Roberts speaks/writes, you might get confused.noapologybookreviews.com
Nora Roberts is my favorite author and I am shocked to find I just could not get through this book. The only character I could really connect with was Alice and her story is so dark it is overwhelming. I know very bad things happen every day, but I read to get away from everyday life for a while, I do not expect to end up sicken and depressed especially from a Nora book. This is my last Nora pre-purchase, I will read a sample before buying from now on.
I usually love Nora Roberts, but this is not one of her best. The positive: as she always does, she created an intricately detailed world, with well-developed characters. Unfortunately it's one she's created before. The negative: it dragged on and on and on. And the predictable ending was... hurried, poorly described, and improbable. Too many subplots not resolved, And, I'm sorry, but this is the last time I'm paying 14.99 for a Kindle book. It's the last time I automatically pre-order a Nora Roberts book. She writes trilogies and stand alone romantic suspense. This felt like a trilogy that didn't quite gel.If I didn't think it was unethical to return a book I actually did read, I would have returned this one.I love Nora Roberts' books. I do. I read and re-read them. Not this one. The best character was Sundown, the horse, because he could be cute and he didn't talk.
I am such a Nora Roberts fan. I have read nearly all of her books through the years. She's a fantastic storyteller. I know her books tend to have patterns, familiar plots, character types, themes, etc. However, she tells a great story. She entertains you, makes you care, gives you a satisfying journey with real heart and humanity to it. Having said all of those things, I still have to rate this book 3/5 stars for "just okay." It was not one of my favorites.There are plenty of reviews that summarize the plot so I'll skip to the point. The core problem with this book for me was the jarring imbalance created by juggling two storylines so different in tone. Usually, this author manages to weave storylines adeptly. This felt less like weaving and more like juxtaposition, and it didn't work for me.The JD Robb books are dark, gritty. The heroine in those books, Eve, has a horrifying childhood, and it's dealt with in a beautiful manner as she grows to understand who she is and how far she has come from that terrified child. They include mysteries, and a beautiful love story of two wounded souls finding each other. This book reminds me of that series in the sense of not shying away from the topic of abuse.This book, too, has a character (Alice) who deals with horrific abuse. However, it's presented in a series of powerful, gut-wrenching, detailed flashbacks. It's very dark, so dark that it's difficult to read at times. Alice's journey is powerful, and it's well written, but it takes over the book in a way that shoves everything else to the side.On the one hand, you have a story of two characters falling in love. There's a lightness to it that is wonderful and enjoyable. However, when I read a scene where a character is making lists and mundanely doing daily stuff, and then jump to an absolutely gut-wrenching emotional scene of horror for another character, & then back to mundane two fun people falling in love, it's like whiplash. The contrast is so great that I couldn't get into the love story. I was still gutted by Alice. How can I care much or feel much about the light banter of a couple when another character's abuse is being powerfully described, in detail?If the book was solely Alice's journey, it might have worked better for me, or if the book was solely the love story. However, to jump between the two stories lessened the impact of both in a sense. It just didn't work.Nora Roberts had a storyline in Montana Sky with some similarities to this one. There was a serial killer in that book and he killed women. It was horrific. The difference, in my opinion is the level of detail. In Montana Sky, a character is introduced well enough that we care when something bad happens. However, the level of detail is brief enough that we don't identify with the character or know the character well enough to be gutted by it entirely. There is not a lot of time spent detailing the violence either. The deaths have an emotional punch but it's not that hard to transition back to the main character's concerns and viewpoints. That book is what I'd term a love story (actually three love stories) with a mystery (suspense elements). The focus in clear. The mystery is important in that it affects the characters directly, but there's a balance & purpose to it. It's clearly the story of three sisters coming to terms with their pasts, forming a family, and falling in love with their heroes. The serial killer portion serves that story rather than detracting from it.This book takes the time to truly put the reader squarely into Alice's horrific journey. You get to know her, root for her, and are anguished when she suffers at the hands of a madman. She's really fleshed out as a character and the level of detail on what happens to her is hard to read at times. That suffering is intense. Nora Roberts knows how to move an audience and she does. Powerfully.However, when the story then switches to the love story couples, it feels unreal. Boring and mundane. The difference in the emotion level is too great. We've gone too dark to go that light that fast. I never felt like I knew those couples very well, perhaps because I knew Alice at such a strong level. They felt a little flat or not as fleshed out. I didn't care about them as much, maybe because I couldn't get into their every day comings and goings when the emotions were so high and so dark every time it switched to Alice.If Alice was the primary story of this book, then the couples falling in love felt almost like a silly distraction. If the couples falling in love part of the book was the story, then Alice's journey didn't serve to enhance that story or help it. It overshadowed and lessened the stakes. (Example: Sure, you're feeling insecure about your growing feelings for this guy, but ALICE is being BEATEN AND TORTURED so probably a little spat with your guy doesn't rank super high as a real life problem.) It felt out of whack, like two very different stories throwing each other out of balance rather than assisting each other.The bottom line here is that this is not one of my favorite Nora Roberts books. If you're new to this author and enjoy romantic suspense, I'd recommend starting with a different book. Try Montana Sky or The Witness. For darker, grittier mysteries with a wonderful love story, I'd recommend her JD Robb books. They're great. She's a wonderful storyteller.No one enjoys every single book by an author. I didn't care for this one. However, I gave it three stars because even a so-so Nora Roberts story is still better than a vast number of books out there.
Not a new story and not nearly as well crafted as previous books. Not sure it was totally written by the author. This book was not written by the same person that has a magic way with words.
