Review at Dear Author

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of The Obsession by Nora Roberts. Really enjoyed this one. Definitely recommended.

I’m over at AudioGals with a review of The Liar by Nora Roberts and narrated by January LaVoy. While not quite as good as The Witness, it was a great listen and I was really impressed by the narration. A winner.

I’m over at AudioGals with a review of For the Love of Lilah by Nora Roberts, narrated by Kate Rudd. This narrator continues to impress me.

I’m over at AudioGals with a review of The Pride of Jared MacKade, by Nora Roberts, narrated by Luke Daniels. I liked this better than the first one but I think the conflict was a bit dated and it didn’t show Jared in the best light.

The Return of Rafe MacKade by Nora Roberts, narrated by Luke Daniels

June 8, 2014 / Kaetrin

Why I read it: I’ve had this entire series on my TBR for ages. I’m reviewing the second book for AudioGals and I thought I’d listen to the first one as well (and beforehand) so I bought it from Audible. My TBL is much shorter than my TBR and sometimes, listening is a way I can get to something more quickly.

What it’s about: (from Goodreads) Ten years after disappearing from Antietam, Maryland, the bad boy has returned. Cleaned up and successful now—and still dangerously good-looking—Rafe MacKade sets the town on fire, and tongues wagging.

Lovely newcomer Regan Bishop is intrigued—what kind of man could cause this sort of talk? She’ s just about to find out.…

What worked for me (and what didn’t): What struck me the most about this book, is its plot similarities to the first Inn Boonsboro book, The Next Always. That series had three brothers, this one has four but, Rafe returns to town, having bought a rundown old mansion which had historic significance in terms of the US Civil War and which is also haunted. There is also a domestic violence subplot – although in The Next Always, it is a stalker wanna-be-boyfriend and in this book it relates to one of the secondary characters – who is the heroine of book 3, The Heart of Devin MacKade. Of course, The Return of Rafe MacKade was first published in 1995 by Silhouette and so pre-dates The Next Always by decades. But because this book came second to my ears, it is the one I’m giving the side-eye to. I realise that’s ass backwards.

I’m over at AudioGals today with a review of Nora Roberts’ latest romantic suspense: The Collector, narrated by Julia Whelan. I enjoyed the narration but unfortunately the story didn’t reach the heights of The Witness or The Search.
