I haven't read any Nora Roberts books this year and finally got around to picking up one of the romantic suspense ones and this one was so good. It was really good. It had a lot of similar vibes to the old books that I love, which makes sense since this is one of her older releases. I do wish that we had a little bit more suspense. It kind of felt like the beginning had a ton of stuff going on and then we had a ton at the end, but the middle was just filler. We get told a lot about the FMC's life versus actually seeing it. We do actually follow a lot of her life so I get that we can't see it all but some of the things at the end would've come out a lot stronger if we got to see these events actually happen instead of being told about it after the fact. However, it's still a good Roberts's book and I really need to get back into working on her backlist.
