Does anyone like Nora Roberts? If so, which book(s) are your favorite? Maybe some detail on what they are about if you have time. She seems like an interesting artist. Thanks!

Oh, absolutely. I do. She's very good. You can't help but get into her stories. Have you read the Irish trilogy? Those are the best! There's this faerie prince named Carrick who was in love with this human but things went wrong, so now they can't be together until three couples who have troubles get together. That's the three books. I like that second book best, myself. Tears of the Moon. I suppose it's because I like Brenna, she's cool, and Shawn's so artistic. Another really good trilogy is the Witch trilogy. Dance Upon the Air, Face the Fire, I can't remember the second one's name. What happens is, Nell is an abused wife who escapes from her evil battering husband to this island where she meets the other two witches, and then the evil husband comes to get her, oooh it's exciting! If you don't want the trilogies, though, you can always go with Midnight Bayou. There's ghosts, the ghosts of a guy and girl. The guy was all heart broken because they said the girl left him or something, but she didn't. Read it, you'll see.
She really is a good writer.

Hi, I've just finished 2 of Nora Roberts books, part of the "Circle Trilogy", Morrigan's Cross and Dance of the Gods, with the 3rd and final story coming out this November. I couldn't get over how fine a story teller she is, using an Irish "storyteller" as her focal point. Can't wait to get the 3rd book.
Nora gets a little lenghty on the "romantic" side but you actually look forward to seeing how she's going to bring the protagonist and the antagonist together. You just know it's coming.
I've really enjoyed these 2 books and hope NR doesn't cop-out on the 3rd.
It's very unusual for me to like "women" writers, so this is a real treat.

I really enjoy reading Nora Roberts books. I also like the books she writes as J. D. Robb. It seems that she can delve into any time period, geographic area or lifestyle and write a great book.
I have read everyone of of her "In Death: series written as JD Robb. Everyone was great. These books are set in the year 2050 and forward.
I have not read all of her trilogy's, the one I have read are so great. The latest, Morrigans Cross, The Dance and Valley of Silence are masterful.
I honestly believe it is impossible for this woman to write a bad book.
The Lifetime channel will have 4 movies of her books starting Jan 29th. and then for the next 3 Mondays. I have not decided to watch because movies have a way of ruining a great book.

I collect all her books and also those that she writes under JD Robb, and have read them all at least 3 times, some of them more.
My favorite trilogy is:
"Born in Fire"
"Born in Ice"
"Born in Shame"
My favorite series is :
"Sea Swept"
"Rising Tides"
"Inner Harbor"
"Chesapeake Blue"
(note to person above about the vampire series, the 3rd book - "Valley of Silence" - came out last November and it's just as good as the first 2)

She's one of my favorite authors. I love the way she does trilogies and other collections that are interconnected. My all-time favorite family is the Stanislaskis:
Taming Natasha
Luring a Lady
Falling for Rachel
Convincing Alex
Waiting for Nick
Considering Kate
I actually just finished reading all of these books Sunday evening! =)

Haven't a lot of her books been made into movies? If so, I've never read the books but they make really good Lifetime movies.

Mediocre in my estimation. I've read a lot of her books btw, passes the time though. She has one trilogy with light somewhere in the title(can't remember the title completely), those are the best in my estimation

I like her when i'm in the mood for a romance novel. I read Chesapeake blue and that was good. Also Lilah and Suzanna: The Calhoun Women was good.

I just read a book by her. Wasn't that impressed, to the point that don't remember the name!
