Summary: Wonderful story
Review: Birthright was a fantastic book - worthy of buying in hard back. Callie is someone you can relate to - she is a passionate person - about her work, her family, what's right and wrong, and definitely about her handsome exhusband Jake. The story weaves well, the characters are credible. The continual links between the work she is doing and what she uncovers there, and how it relates to her own life and what's uncovering for herself, are strong. Nora Roberts - still proving she's one of the best.

Summary: ENTERTAINING AS ALWAYS
Review: Though the hero & heroine deserve to have their mouths washed with soap for their frequent use of foul language, this book is definitely worth reading as it's entertaining. It's suspenseful as well as emotive. There were no boring moments as the story does not drag. It's no wonder that Nora Roberts is one of the few authors whom I would shell out the big bucks to buy her works in hard cover rather than wait for it to be printed in paperback.

Summary: Double romance with the suspence
Review: I really enjoyed this book. The sparks between calli Dunebrook and Jacob Graystone are great!! Alsot he secondary romance between Lynn and Doug. The end was at a great pace. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the consatnt use of G**D***. I don't think I a being a prude but it was not necessary there are other words that would suffice. Otherwise it was a great book.

Summary: As Usual, Nora Nails It!!!
Review: If you are a huge Nora fan, you already own this. If you are new to Nora, you might as well jump in with this one. Callie Dunbrook reminds me of Eve Dallas after she has evolved, and I love her. I normally can not stand stories where the protaganists are divorced, and I hate archeology stories. They are usually so technical, that I am not interested. Not so with this one. Nora as always made the book fast paced and entertaining. There was not the awkardness you would expect with the divorce. She handled that beautifully and from the beginning you knew, that they were not ready before, and were know, and that it would work. Jake was wonderful, and Nora did a beautiful job balancing the "stolen baby" issue, so that you felt compassion for both sets of parents. There is also a side story with her new found brother, and her attorney. It is great too! I won't go into lots of plot detail, many other reveiwers already have as well as the book description. I just highly recommend this book. If you like this, you will love anything by Nora, and I just found another author that writes in a style like Nora. Try Mariah Stewart. She does great stories about families and emotions with the romance/suspense storylines.

Summary: Wonderful Book, Horrible Audio
Review: It is a shame that a book as wonderful as Birthright has such a horrible narrator like Bernadette Quigley. I had the unfortunate chance to hear Ms. Quigley on the Three Fates audio and it was done so poorly, I actually returned it to the store. I didn't check to see who was reading Birthright, much to my chagrin. Ms. Quigley does not seem to have a range of voices to pull from, such as a fellow reader of Nora Roberts, Sandra Burr. In this reading Jake sounds like an eighty year old man and it's actually kinda creepy. Most of the male characters all have the same 'voice' and you aren't sure who is supposed to be talking until their name is spoken. Ms. Quigley does an excellent job of reading Callie. She uses just the right amount of sarcasm in her voice and Lana is pretty well done too, but beyond that, it's terrible. I HIGHLY recommend the book, but stay far away from the audio!

Summary: A favorite
Review: Well, I just skipped the whole summary thing and go straight to what I think about it ... I think it was one of Nora's most creative books. The story flows on and on and on, I realized that I just spent my sleeping time finishing this book. Although I didn't care that much for murder stuffs ... I enjoyed reading each characters, and of course, the the love stories. Callie and Jake sparked all the way. Lana and Doug were lovable. Heck, I even liked Digger!! Great one liners ("No coffee, no brain. I'm lucky I can speak in simple declarative sentences") ... some crackled me up. And I loved the the last 3 pages ... I think it was kinda cute. A simple favorite

Summary: Birthright
Review: Nora Roberts continues to amaze me! I love the way she rights about families. She was recently in our local Wal*Mart store for a book signing and was so courteous to everyone and patiently signed everyone's book even over her alloted time frame. I have just finshed "Birthright" and she blew me away again! I have read all of her books that I know about and also all of the JD Robb series. What an imagination!
Was very pleased to learn thru an article in November 2002 Good Housekeeping that the Kayla to whom she dedicates "Birthright" is her new grandchild! Many thanks to Nora and hopefully she will continue to blow us away with her many talents!

Summary: It's Nora all right!
Review: What else needs to be said. This is a story that only Nora can write. I read it by candlelight during a power outage. If that doesn't tell how good this book is nothing else will.

Summary: very creative romantic suspense
Review: In an innocuous mall, a mother comforts her three-year-old son taking her eyes off her three-month-old daughter, when someone kidnaps the baby. Twenty-nine years later Suzanne Cullen watches a TV news clip about a Maryland archeological dig when she instantly recognizes her daughter, the site's archeologist Callie Dunbrook. When Suzanne makes contact with Callie, the forensic archeologist is sure the woman is lying because she knows she is not adopted. Suzanne plants just enough doubt in Callie's mind for her to sneak into her father's private files where she is shocked to see the adoption papers. Her parents swear that they adopted her in good faith through a lawyer who specialized in private adoptions. Callie vows that she will find the people connected to the black market scheme and expose them. Her ex-husband Jake is backing her all the way. There are some people who want the past to stay buried and are perfectly willing to kill to make that happen. Nora Roberts has written a very creative romantic suspense thriller where innocent bystanders having nothing to do with the black market adoption scam are killed; thus adding a touch of authenticity to the taut plot. The heroine and her ex-husband, who are slowly working their way back to each other, realize that some amoral person lacking any conscience is using misdirection to confuse and wear them down. Callie is a strong resilient woman who bends but never breaks even when the shocks and traumas keep happening. BIRTHRIGHT is a splendid drama that cannot be put down until the finale.
