2.5 rounded up bc it's Nora. I found this boring unfortunately and never felt the connection between the couple. They felt like friends
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. (via Netgalley)
This a great introduction to Nora Roberts as herself. (Prior to this I had only ever read JD Robb.) The time jumps in the beginning threw me off a bit but once I got into it it was really hard to put down. It all came together nicely and I enjoyed it.
3.5. This is a heartfelt story that celebrates small town living and the beauty of a thriving community and of flourishing lifelong friendships and familial relationships. Adrian Rizzo, raised in New York by her fitness entrepreneur mother returns back to her grandparents rural home in adulthood to support her grandparents. A thriving businesswoman herself, it seems like she will spin her new relocation into a new career angle and make lemonade from life's lemons. However she has never addressed a traumatic incident that happened in her childhood and when she receives threatening mail from an anonymous sender, she wonders whether her past is coming back to haunt her.
This book has a satisfying romantic subplot and also is a very positive and upbeat story with a compelling thriller plot line. I really enjoyed the interactions between Adrian and her grandfather and the romance between the two neighbouring dogs. A well plotted, sincere novel both compelling and compassionate.
Thanks to Little Brown UK, the author Nora Roberts and NetGalley for a review copy in exchange for an honest review.
