1. Engaging the Enemy by Nora Roberts:
Its actually two small novels combined into one. Both the stories are such wherein both the characters hate each other in the beginning and then fall in love ultimately.
Somehow i couldnt connect to the characters in both the short stories. It was too much of romance which is not necessarily seen in Nora Roberts books.... So wont recommend this book.
2. The first love cookie club by Lori Wilde:
This is the story of a Sarah who believed that “On Christmas Eve, if you sleep with kismet cookies under your pillow and dream of your one true love, he will be your destiny.” until she was 15 and ran in the church to stop her destiny " Travis walker" from getting married. Now she is 24, and is a famous children's author and is popularly known as Sadie cool.
The story starts when Sarah gets a letter from a fan who is dying and her wish is to to meet her. Sarah decides to meet her, but meeting her means going to the same place that incident had happened 9 years ago , meeting the people who would recognize her... She was prepared for all of this....When she reaches there she realizes she wasn't ready for one thing....... the little girls father was Travis walker..... Her soul mate.... Her destiny....
Lori Wilde writing is fairly basic and so it makes a fun read. The book depicts the father daughter relationship beautifully and make you really feel for those characters. Overall a nice read but does feel too idealistic in the end
3. Sanctuary by Nora Roberts:
This time Nora Roberts does a fantastic job writing this thriller.
Jo Ellen Hathaway is a twenty-seven year old photographer with a growing national reputation. She left her family home, Sanctuary, at the age of eighteen to make her way in the world. She left behind a family which had never recovered from the mother's desertion twenty years earlier. Her father Sam; her brother, Brian, and her sister, Alexa were all, as was Jo Ellen, devastated by Anabelle's abandonment. Jo Ellen, who looks just like her mother, has found it particularly difficult to adjust to the sense of betrayal she feels.
She is being stalked and she is scared. One day she gets a picture of her mother's body and has a breakdown. She decides to run back to Sanctuary, her so called home.
The book is basically about how the relationships develop between the siblings, how having a loving family helps and how Jo ellen finds love in Sanctuary.
Nora Roberts is back to writing the genre she is best at... Romantic Thrillers. Its makes a fantastic read.
So there you go, 3 book reviews at once.......Hopefully i did do justice to all of them.
