Summary: How does one pick a favorite, when written by Nora Roberts?
Review: The first book of Nora's that I ever read was "Divine Evil" (1992). Still one of my favorites. I was hooked and have been reading her novels ever since, enjoying the fact that I had once thought that her writings could not be improved upon or portrayed any better. I am more than happy to admit my naivety with every story she spins out, and every mind provoking journey her words lead me through.Montana Sky is by far one of her best novels. It is raw and gritty and sometimes gruesome, but life on a ranch is no hay ride and Nora's ability to shock other readers into tossing it to the trash, says it all.
I believe those book tossers gave the highest praise of all. The world we live in is raw and more often than not shocking and Nora gives her readers the truest sense of the stories images, characters and atmosphere. Be they breathtaking or horrific - hero, victim or villain - chaotic, placid or dangerous, she will convey more than a mere conjuring of words.
This is her gift. There will be no emotion unfelt or setting unseen while reading her books and yes, these emotions and images will stay with you.
When I read a novel that leaves no emotional stone unturned, or scene etched into the mind, I know I'm feeling and seeing what was intended. No one can doubt what Nora intends when she gives you a glimpse into the mind of a truly creative, imaginative and superb spinner of tales.
Nora's secret is in the absence of words. A good writer paints a story with limited colors and details, allowing a reader to add their own imagination as well.
If you want the simple, the upfront, the obvious, read someone else's stories. If you want your imagination to be truly drawn in and immersed into another world, then read Nora's novels. Montana Sky is a rare gift from Nora that will draw you in, folding you into the lives of the Mercy's and others while they grapple with sorrow, fear, happiness and so much more that comes with family and a hard life that most can not imagine.

Summary: Not a must read
Review: This book is not what you should think of when you see the name Nora ROberts. I sugest that if you have never read a Roberts then don't let this be your first. The plot is some what simple and will not capture your atention for long. I sugest you read Sancuary, Homeport, Sweet revenge. If you are looking for somthing out of this world and in my opion one of nora's best then Devine evil is the book for you!

Summary: Why so many detailed descriptions of animal torture?
Review: I usually love Nora Roberts' books, particularly those set in Ireland, but was so disturbed by this one that I had to stop reading it. There are horrifying descriptions of the torture and killing of an old barn cat, a beloved pet, and several descriptions of sadistic torture of cattle, as well detailed descriptions of castrating and dehorning young male cattle. I was so upset by this unnecessary horror that I threw out the book. I am still haunted by these descriptions and the suffering she describes of the poor animals. I hope Nora Roberts will stick to her normal writing and lay off this sort of work in the future. Otherwise, will have to stop reading and recommending her work - these detailed descriptions of animal suffering are sick.

Summary: Suspensful Romance
Review: I've never been much of a reader however a good suspensful romance is one that I can't put down. This describes Montana Sky. There are a few unpredictable twists and a few hot love scenes that make this book one you won't be able to put down and not think about.

Summary: fantastic!!
Review: I'm a big fan of Nora Roberts from way back(who isn't)and I also enjoy books which are the setting is on a ranch-so this book was right up my alley.The mystery was good as is always with Nora Roberts and her characters are great.I still wasn't exactly sure who the killer was until the name was revealed.The sexual tension between the characters was great(again-nobody does it like Nora) and the dialogue was sexy too.I read it in two days and I would read it again.I think I'll go find another one of her books to read now......

Summary: A Favorite!!
Review: Every time I read this book, it never disappoints. I could read it a hundred times and still get a kick out of it!! Enter the 3, very different daughters, Willa, the strong, fiesty women who stayed on the ranch and help run it, Tess-the burnt out hollywood actress and Lilly--the shy, quiet abused girl who is hiding. Their rich ranch owner father dies and leaves the ranch and all that is posses to all THREE of his daughters. The catch??? All three must stay on the for a specific period of time before they inherit their share. Of course there is rebellion, espcially from brass Tess who just wants the money. I digress....Along the path of discovery...each meet amazing men that make them stronger and better. They also help each other realize what love really is and what it truly means. Espeically as a killer stalks the ranch and threatens the system and lives of the ranch and people involved. The real focus is on Willa and Ben. Ben who is the "next-door-neighbor" from the rival ranch who has grown up with Willa and has respect, as well as lust, for her. Of course she being green and all, she's quite shy and hides it by constantly arguing and fighting against Ben. The dialogue is so funny and passionate. It's not corny, you don't roll your eyes--you LAUGH along. You can't help but fall in love with these two very strong and independent characters.

Summary: Second half saves the day
Review: I love romantic suspense stories and "Montana Sky" is a pretty good one. It's somewhat light on the romance (many of the "bedroom scenes" are introduced and then cut off as soon as the first clothes are shed) and heavy on the mystery. Three sisters who are strangers to each other must spend a year working on their father's Montana ranch in order to receive their sizable inheritance. Complicating matters is the fact that a serial killer is on the loose and targeting the ranch. Nora Roberts certainly knows how to create varied and interesting characters. The three sisters in "Montana Sky" are no different. My main problem with the book is that it took me a long time to get into it. The first half seemed very formulaic to me. However, about halfway through the book the murder mystery kicks into high gear and the characters become more developed. And just when you think you know whodunit, the writer throws some curves at you to keep you guessing. I was hooked by the second half, staying up until the wee hours trying to see how Ms. Roberts was going to work everything out. If you're a patient reader who likes suspense with a little romance thrown in, you'll like this one.

Summary: Good book, but too much gore.
Review: This was the second book I have read by Nora Roberts and I enjoyed it very much. I did have a problem with all of the gore and murders. I found myself having to go back and read over some of the gore to get part of the story. I think it could have been written without so much detailed gore. But nonetheless, it was worth reading.
