There are a few I keep coming back to though so I would rank:<br /><br />1. Honest Illusions-I just adored the long look at Luke and Roxanne from childhood to adulthood. I thought she handled the changes in their relationship and the struggles they went through perfectly. I was completely swept up in their story and I could've kept reading about them for many more books!<br /><br />2. Tears of the Moon- I really just enjoyed the series (I prefer the purely romantic storylines) but this one in particular. It was very charming to see how Shawn and Brenna went from friends to confused lovers. I enjoyed both of the characters immensely and loved how the story unfolded.<br /><br />3. Montana Sky/The Reef-This one was just too tough. Montana Sky was the first NR book I read so it will always make the cut but I remember reading The Reef many years ago and being completely addicted. I think something about overcoming separation is enjoyable to me. I think she handled the action and suspense in this book better than many of them and I loved the treasure hunting element. It was all great! And Montana Sky has always stood out for me because of how much she emphasizes the sisterhood aspect and strangers getting thrown together. I enjoyed the sisterhood aspect as much as the romance. At the same time, I really liked Ben and Willa and kind of wished we could have seen more focus on them but overall, a definite favorite!<br /><br />There are so many more I love but at the moment, I'll keep it to that. Other special mentions would be: Daring to Dream (and the whole Dream trilogy), Carnal Innocence, and the Chesapeake Bay series.<br /><br />And of course, a few that I just think kind of missed the mark were: Genuine Lies (I remember more about the Hollywood drama than the couple's story), Sanctuary (just a little too dark for me), Hot Ice (I honestly couldn't like either of the main characters so I never really got into it). <br /><br />I've hardly read all of her books though so who knows what may change!

We have decided on the next author :P HOpefully, we'll get the post done soon :P<br /><br />LOL that means you have a lot of recs for NR :P NOt a bad thing at all! I just love her. <br /><br />You definitively have to read Sea Swept. Seriously, I can't believe how many of you have not read that one.<br /><br />My only advice when reading NR, don't read all her trilogy one after the others. You'll grow tired. But one from time to time, it's good :Pnathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021473124623956380.post-12499774225883377882012-06-26T14:00:01.688-04:002012-06-26T14:00:01.688-04:00Whoa...
First of all.. you gals sure know your No...Whoa... <br />First of all.. you gals sure know your Nora Roberts romances! I love reading your chit chat about your favorite books even though I'm unfamiliar with it all.. which brings me to ..<br /><br />Second of all.. I haven't read and or heard of 95% of the NR books you're all talking about! Holy smokes! <br /><br />I have only read that paranormal trilogy and her Bridal Quartet. I have some serious catching up to do. Might have to start with SEA SWEPT since so many of you hold that one near and dear to your hearts. <br /><br />GREAT FEATURE. Can't wait to see what other authors you come up with.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021473124623956380.post-5838626636230016042012-06-21T17:05:54.911-04:002012-06-21T17:05:54.911-04:00Elena - It's okay if you've only read 18 b...<b>Elena</b> - It's okay if you've only read 18 books :) Even among those 18 books, you have favorites :P<br /><br />Those are great choices :P I need to re-read Carolina Moon. I did like like Three Fates, but again, it's not a book I usually pick up to re-read.<br /><br /><b>Marg</b> - Yay for Sea Swept! I think it was just an awesome book :)<br /><br />I don't think I've read the Garden trilogy in its entirety. By that point, I was a bit burn-out on all her trilogies/quartets. Because while they are good, they are also very similar ^_^; There is a pattern among them.<br /><br /><b>Li</b> - Yay for another vote for Sea Swept :P<br /><br />Oh, the O'Hurley series. I like Piper's book... can't remember the title, but she's the dancer. Love the romance in that one :P One of my favorite theme, carefree heroine with stuffy hero :P<br /><br />Waiting for Nick is good :) that is probably my favorite in that series as well, but I have not read them all.<br /><br />And yeah, that's really her strength. Family and interactions :)<br /><br /><b>Leslie</b> - LOL, it's the top 3 among the ones you've read :) As I said, no matter how many books by an author you've read, there must be ones you like better :)<br /><br />LOL, I hope you enjoy our favorites!<br /><br /><b>S.</b> - Nod nod. I love Gideon and Chloe in Three Fates. That was my favorite storyline too :P However, I feel we get a bit short cut when she does three storylines in one book. I mean, yes, the book is long... but I want more! LOL<br /><br />I know right, first book often holds a special place :P I enjoyed that series, but have never re-read it. <br /><br />Only two that you didn't care for, that's exceptional considering her backlist :P And I hear you on liking the romance better than the suspense :Pnathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021473124623956380.post-22040146332159486882012-06-20T07:31:00.101-04:002012-06-20T07:31:00.101-04:00Hello...
Well, my top three....
1)Three Fates. It...Hello...<br />Well, my top three....<br /><br />1)Three Fates. It was the first one I've read with 3 roamnces in one and I loved it. Tia's caharcters was both funny and strong and I loved Gideon and Cleo's romance.<br /><br />2)Born in Shame. I love, love, love how Shannon took a chance on love and how positive it was to see her find a family.<br /><br />3)Holding the Dream. My very first book by Nora. I loved the writing, the atmosphere, the romance, the family ties, the way Kate was more shy and suspicious at times but then comes an almost perfect man just for her..what a great romance to start with this author. At the time I didn't know it was part of a trilogy but after reading the others, this is still a best favorite.<br /><br />I prefer the romances than her suspenses:)<br />About the Public Secrets talk..I didn't like it. Not the story, not the characters, not the time jumping. I don't hate it, but I have a severe dislike for it. The same with Blue Smoke for the exact same reasons. These are the only two so far I felt like throwing away lol<br />Kiss :)<br />****S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12010038911071421007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021473124623956380.post-77428636271751927542012-06-20T01:22:16.781-04:002012-06-20T01:22:16.781-04:00After realizing I've only read one of the six ...After realizing I've only read one of the six listed, I'm not sure I'm qualified to give a top 3 Nora reads.

And then one of the Stanislaski family books - WAITING FOR NICK?<br /><br />Yes, they're all her older ones - and I cheated and had a look at her backlist at Fantastic Fiction...<br /><br />I guess the common theme is that I love the way she writes family relationships!Lihttp://bookdaze.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021473124623956380.post-20375429768884300662012-06-18T07:34:39.259-04:002012-06-18T07:34:39.259-04:00Sea Swept was my first ever Nora Roberts and so it...Sea Swept was my first ever Nora Roberts and so it will always have a special place in my heart!

Another thing about this book was that the H/H's lives intersected and it took a while for the H/H to get together. And that was actually the old-school way :) <br /><br />Yay for Sea Swept!! :) It's just a great book and it's one that I re-read so many times :)<br /><br />Let us know which ones you're going to read and how much you enjoy it! :)<br /><br /><b>TFOB</b> - Interesting choice TFOB :) I did enjoy the thief aspect of the book, but I always struggles with princesses and princes - in any books.<br /><br />This is one that I've read years ago and have not re-read... Think I'll put it on my list of to-dos :P<br /><br /><b>Hilcia</b> - LOL, that's too easy Hils :) Although I guess eventually, we can do that :) Favorite series and favorite stand-alones. NR has written so many of each, we can sure do it LOL.<br /><br />Born in Shame is the last one in the trilogy right? I actually like Born in Fire better :) Loves Maggie's temperament and Rogan is a businessman! <br /><br />Tears of Moon was a great book, a great friends-to-lovers book and I can totally see why it's a favorite of yours and Ames :)<br /><br />I thought Ethan was a great hero and I still love the chemistry between the guys... and Aubrey was just soooo cute! What I had difficulty with was Grace as an heroine. She's a good woman and a good character, but I don't know. She didn't appeal that much to me in that story.<br /><br />And choosing the ones you re-read the most is usually a good idea :)<br /><br /><b>Ames</b> - OMG, I did not realize you have not read the Chesapeake Bay series yet!! How did I miss that?!? You gotta Ames!! ASAP!

This is so tough for me! I don't know ...Ladies! This is so tough for me! I don't know if I can choose only 3 top favorite books by NR! I usually choose my 3 favorite trilogies, and then my 3 favorite stand alone books... lol! <br /><br />Okay... I will try:<br /><br />1) Hmm... I'm thinking! Born in Shame. Although to be truthful the whole trilogy is my favorite since I usually don't read one book without reading the other two. *g(* (I'm cheating) I love all three romances and IRELAND in this series. It's a comfort trilogy for me. <br /><br />2) Tears of the Moon from the Irish Trilogy! Now, this is really my favorite book of this series, although again I don't usually read the book on its own when I re-read the whole trilogy. But I love both the hero and heroine, and their friends to lovers romance, plus the Irish background is gorgeous. <br /><br />3) Rising Tides from the Chesapeake Bay trilogy about the Quinn brothers! I love all three books and love, love all books, but this book just does it for me. It's silent Ethan with his painful past, the way that he really bonds with young Seth and his relentless yearning for Grace that I love in this story. <br /><br />Okay... I chose the three that I re-read the most often. BUT, I also love, love Montana Sky, Ames! And, Carolina Moon, and... and... so... it's tough to choose. *g*Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021473124623956380.post-48000401106880254592012-06-15T17:20:06.139-04:002012-06-15T17:20:06.139-04:00I think my favorite Nora Roberts is always going t...I think my favorite Nora Roberts is always going to be Sweet Revenge.
