I LOVE Nora Roberts' work. I've gotten everyone at the office hooked on her, too. I own every novel in hardcover that was printed in hardcover. Up until now, I've never considered it a waste of money. I should have waited for the paperback. Lately we've been waiting too long for something to come, this could have waited a little longer. Perhaps Nora Roberts could have thought of a better ending. The ending was a real letdown. When reading this book, the reader was constantly waiting to get to the good part, and then it was over - surprise - no good part. I was pretty disappointed. When's the next one coming out?
