Nora Robert's Romance Novels

I'm a big Nora Roberts fan. Yes, it is romance, but she really is a great writer and has some amazing stuff out! No wonder there are so many millions of copies sold of her books.

Nora Roberts/ J.D. Robb are the same people.

She has a series of Rourke & Eve (under the J.D. Robb), a millionaire and a cop in the futuristic New York City.

And all the other ones are under Nora Roberts, which are truly great stories.

I may sound like a broken record in a romance review magazine, but really, having read many, many (good and awful) romance novels with really horrendous themes and writings, I can say Nora knows her stuff.

The Official Nora Robert's Website is here, and it has the list of all her books.

So, anyway, about one book that really gets me feeling cozy and want to curl up by a fire is Robert's "Northern Lights."


About the book "Northern Lights" :

It is a story of Nate, a cop that has his partner killed in Baltimore who decides to move Lunacy, Alaska to escape his reality and guilt of his past life. He becomes the sheriff of Lunacy and everything was going slow as he hoped until one day a group of kids decided to go up a mountain and needed rescuing.
It turns out that the kids saw a man stabbed with an ax to the chest, frozen high up in the mountains. It turns out, he has been up there for more than a decade while everyone though he just left, including his daughter Meg who is a pilot.
And so the story begins: a murder that happened decades ago and a romance between Nate and Meg.

Now let me warn you that when I bought this book, I excepted a nice romance. But it is more of a mystery and the beginning is very slow. I almost stopped reading the book because I didn't just couldn't stand it. I think the only reason I kept going was because I was stuck on a long subway ride from my university home.

Since having nothing better to do but check out those little old ladies giving you the evil eye sitting right across you and holding back the urge to give them a dirty look, I decided to read, and oh am I glad I did!

I hope you have the same expirience, becuase I pick that book up in the summer just to feel cool and cozy and warm, even though the book takes place in the cold Alaska.


I don't know what I'm doing here writing a book review when I should be writing my grad school admissions essay.

You tell me, please.
