Author, Nora Roberts was born Eleanor Marie Robertson, on October 10, 1950 in Silver Spring, Maryland. For more than three decades Roberts has published more than 200 titles in the romantic novel category. She wrote her first story during the blizzard of 1979, when she was snowed in at her home. The first novel, Irish Thoroughbred, was published just two years later. Then, the next two years brought 23 more published novels, and she finally caught the public's eye in 1985. That last novel, "Playing the Odds" gave Roberts a "fan favorite" status and transformed the romance novel category.
Roberts has two sons by her first marriage, and married her second husband, Bruce Wilder, in 1985. From 1991 to 2001, all 68 novels she published made it onto the New York Times best seller list. In 2000 alone she had 13 best sellers, several making it into number one. She also writes futuristic romantic suspense under the pen name of J.D. Robb. Many of her novels have been adapted into TV movies. She was inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame on 1986. She currently owns the Inn at BoonsBoro in Boonsboro, Maryland. The suites are each inspired by and for romantic couples from books. FYI......she has a fear of flying and is an ardent baseball fan.

Therese Plummer does a first-rate job on the narration for this one, but she’s fighting an uphill battle. I’ve taken too many Mandatory Workplace Sexual Harassment classes for this one to come anywh......more
The more I read of these stories, the less I like the previous books I read. I'm disliking them retroactively. Things are repeating... all the heroes smoke (it's the 80s, so it's cool!), the heros grab the heroines by their hair when they're trying to flounce away after delivering a horrible parting......more
BJ Clark manages an inn and is content with how it's decorated, run, and the overall homegrown feel. Content with her duties, she's forced to deal with Taylor Reynolds, the new owner who has his own ideas. Reynolds has the idea to come and turn BJ's inn into a resort to her horror. Along the way, sh......more
In one word, problematic. I know it was written in 1983, but basically he sexually assaults her (kisses her after she says no twice, keeps grabbing her arm to stop her from walking away, etc.) and then she “falls in love with him” because her body tells her so when I’m not sure they’ve actually had......more
Simple story of a strong minded young woman who meets a strong minded man… usual Nora theme. The story is shorter than some but the ending is obviously predetermined. The trail from the woman resenting and despising the man to loving him has one or two funny twists to it. Not the best I have read bu......more
