I'm the first to admit that I'm a sucker for a bestseller, taking my cue from the NY Times list or even Oprah. And while I'm happy enough with their suggestions, such as Living History, Bark of the Dogwood, or even The Purpose Driven Life, I have to go back to what I know and love. Enter Nora Roberts. You can't go wrong with ANY of her books, and Rafe and Jared is about as good as it gets. My other favorite is Suspicious--just read it and LOVED it!!!     By Far one of the best!
The MacKade Brothers are one of the best NR series ever. About four brothers who got into a little (Well a lot) of trouble when they were little and now have grown up. It kicks off with the baddest of the four Rafe who returns to Antietem,MD and meets up with Regan who moved to town four years ago. Then picks up with Jared the lawyer who has to inform new recluse Savannah Morningside of her father's death and is attracted to her. For those of you who have been disillusioned by Birthright and Three Keys-The MacKade brothers will reminded you why you started reading NR in the beginning. Each of the brothers are very likable and so are the women they are paired with.     What a knock-out!
I can't say enough good things about this book--it was just fantastic! Of the three things I've read lately (LIFE OF PI, BARK OF THE DOGWOOD by McCrae, and THE MACKADE BROTHERS) this one is the best! What's so amazing is that you usually get a great story OR a well-written book from an author, but in this case you get both--highly unusual for anyone in my opinion. I'm not usually one for this genre of fiction, but Roberts has outdone herself in this case. Don't be fooled into thinking this is some sappy romance--there's enough there for anyone, regardless of his or her taste in literature. I was down for the count on this one--a true knock-out! |
