Book Review: Nora Roberts Land
Journalist Meredith Hale’s ex-husband claimed her Nora Roberts addiction gave her unrealistic expectations about marriage, and she believed him. All dreams of happily ever after—or Nora Roberts Land as her mother calls it—went up in smoke. But when her family asks her to temporarily help their Dare Valley, Colorado newspaper, she decides it’s time to change her life and prove her ex wrong. She’s determined to find her own small-town Nora Roberts hero, prove that true love exists, and publish a story about her quest.
War correspondent Tanner McBride has just returned stateside to work for a major newspaper, and the last thing he expects is blackmail. Yet, before he can even unpack, he’s headed to Colorado. His assignment? Make his boss’s ex-wife fall for him and then break her heart. Her article about discovering love à la Nora might air dirty laundry about her marriage to the media mogul, threatening his senate run. The mogul wants Meredith stopped, and he makes sure Tanner has no choice in the matter.
When the two meet, the sparks between them are undeniable. Meredith, who vowed never to date another journalist, begins to succumb. Could Tanner be her Nora Roberts hero? As they work together to uncover the truth behind a suspicious death, the depth of their feelings unfolds and both realize they’ve kept their secrets for far too long. But before the truth can be revealed, their investigation takes a deadly turn, one that might make Meredith’s personal Nora Roberts Land go up in flames.
My Review
I love that Meredith did not let her horrible ex-husband keep her down. Nope, she got rid of all her cotton undergarments and replaced them with lingerie. The persona she adopted for herself of "Divorcée Woman" is great. DW is more of the go getter, whispering to Meredith encouragement to get her man.
Tanner is a nice guy. I like that he did not push too hard for Meredith's affection. He let things happen naturally. There are some steamy moments shared between these two. Shout out to Meredith's grandfather and her sister. I loved the addition of these characters.
I love the concept of this book incorporating Author, Nora Roberts and even a brief touch of her other author pen name, J.D. Robb. I have read books under both names. Anyone who is a romance reader has to have read Nora Roberts at least once in their lifetime.
This is a sweet romantic read. It also features a hint of a mystery as well. So, for those readers who like romantic suspense, you might want to check out this book.
