Warning: If you are looking for a story similar to Sleepless in Seattle, this book will not deliver that lighthearted and funny feeling.

Beyond Forever is a book that instantly hooked me with its charming characters, began to lose me with its repetitive and often frustrating middle, but then picked up again with a heartwarming end. Julia Fairfax arrives at Castle Dunmore in the Scottish Highlands with her orphaned niece and her grandmother and plans to spend the…
It is always a delight to read a new novel by Nora Roberts, but seemingly she may be on the brink of writing the best novels of her career. The deep, rich characterizations in Jewels of the Sun drive the plot and give life to the Irish backdrop. Roberts easily holds her reign as the…
