Cover art for CHASING FIRE
FICTION
Released: April 1, 2011
CHASING FIRE
by Nora Roberts
"Popular, prolific Roberts (The Search, 2010, etc.) delivers hair-raising smoke-jumping sequences along with the obligatory thrills, sex and a mystery even the greenest armchair sleuths will be able to solve."
A smoke jumper who puts her life on the line every fire season has more to fear this year than fire. Read full book review >
Cover art for THE SEARCH
FICTION
Released: July 7, 2010
THE SEARCH
by Nora Roberts
"A little slower-paced than the typical Roberts romantic mystery (Black Hills, 2009, etc.) but every bit as steamy. It may well add dog lovers to her legion of fans."
A dog trainer and a wood craftsman dance around love and danger in the Pacific Northwest. Read full book review >
Cover art for HIGH NOON
FICTION
Released: July 10, 2007
HIGH NOON
by Nora Roberts
"Nerve-wracking suspense leavened with romance and spiced with sex: another hit for the prolific Roberts (Blue Smoke, 2005, etc.)."
Murder mixes with anguish in steamy Savannah. Read full book review >
Cover art for INNOCENT IN DEATH
FICTION
Released: Feb. 20, 2007
INNOCENT IN DEATH
by Nora Roberts
"Roarke and Eve remain an appealing pair, and Eve's flashes of vulnerability contrast nicely with her no-nonsense approach to work. Occasionally, though, Robb's New-York-in-2060 gimmick draws undue attention to itself."
Future cop Eve Dallas (Born in Death, Nov. 2006, etc.) returns to investigate the murder of a popular history teacher and deal with an unexpected threat to her marriage. Read full book review >
Cover art for BORN IN DEATH
FICTION
Released: Nov. 7, 2006
BORN IN DEATH
by Nora Roberts
"Sex, childbirth, cyborg servants, a dollop of fast-moving mystery and a fraud so complex that Eve will need Roarke to get to the bottom of it. The biggest pleasure, though, is watching Eve, an obvious charm-school dropout, get in suspects' faces."
Futuristic detective Lt. Eve Dallas (Memory in Death, Jan. 2006, etc.) won't have to face the worst fate imaginable--coaching her old friend Mavis Freestone through childbirth--till she's wrapped up a pair of less harrowing cases. Read full book review >
Cover art for BLUE SMOKE
FICTION
Released: Oct. 4, 2005
Kirkus Star BLUE SMOKE
by Nora Roberts
"Roberts does it again with this fast-paced romantic mystery that's both steamy and thrilling, despite its somewhat obvious nature."
Beautiful Italian babe with a passion for fire and doomed hunks joins the arson squad and discovers that someone has held a torch for her since she was a child. Read full book review >
