Inheritance - by Nora Roberts (Hardcover)

This book is a page turner. I spent the whole day reading this book from cover to cover I couldn't put it down. I already preordered the next book "The Mirror" and I can not wait to read it.

I’ve always loved Nora Roberts novels and as always this one doesn’t disappoint. I will definitely continue to read them in this series as well

This book seems to get stuck on details that dont really move the book along, the storyline is a repeat of other NR books. The romance between sonya and Trey was flat, there was no real spark and then they are having intercourse No buildup to the romance but a huge buildup for everything else. As usual in the last NR books she throws in a gay character or two and reference to a bad white Christian person who appears to be anti gay or some nonsense.

Inheritance by Nora Roberts is the debut of The Lost Bride Trilogy. Sonya MacTavish is fortunate when she cancels a meeting with the wedding florist. She comes home early and catches her fiancé in a compromising position. Unfortunately, it leads to trouble in the workplace. It turns out to be a blessing for Sonya when she inherits a gorgeous Victorian home on the coast of Maine. It gives Sonya a fresh start. I loved the descriptions of the home. I wanted the gorgeous two-story turret library. Of course, as with any two-century old home, it has a few quirks and maybe a few ghosts. Sonya is a relatable and realistic character. She is a talented graphic designer. I like Sonya’s mother, Winter and her best friend, Cleo. I thought Cleo’s idea of cursing Sonya’s ex-fiancé was a good one (he deserved to have a bad case of jock itch). There is a good cast of secondary characters. The spirited happenings at the manor house Sonya inherited ranged from funny to helpful to scary. It will be interesting to see how the bride tale plays out. I felt that the romance between Sonya and Trey happened too quickly. There is an attraction between the pair. They were friendly and slightly flirty as they got to know each other. All of the sudden, though, they moved from flirty to the pair doing the horizontal mambo. I wanted them to get to each other (more than seeing each other a few times casually) and date before hopping into bed together. Their relationship lacked sizzle. Certain facts are repeated often such as details about Sonya’s ex-fiancé. I felt the particulars of Sonya’s job (what she created for each client, how it looked, the back-and-forth communication) were unnecessary or at least not in such detail. It slowed down the pace of the story and the tempo was already on the slow side (details of Sonya’s daily activities such as what Sonya fixed for each meal, reading her emails, walking the dog, running errands). The story could have benefited from an infusion of action and suspense. There is an overabundance of foul language (fair warning). The long-winded story came to an abrupt end with a sudden cliffhanger (it was so sudden that I got whiplash). I normally enjoy Nora Roberts paranormal novels, but this one was hard for me to finish.

Every one of her books transports you into the story. Real people, real lives, real situations. The only hardbound books that I will buy because I can’t wait for them to come out in paperback!

Nora Roberts does it again! Can’t wait for the next 2.
