Summary: A great mix of romance and suspense....
Review: Nora Roberts does it again! What a great story to curl up with and burn the midnight oil! She throws a little bit of everything in this novel to make it one of her best...betrayal, murder, romance and of course--love. The title says it all. I was hooked from the very first page.

Summary: Another page turner from Robert¿s.
Review: Once again Nora Robert's give's the reader all they could want from a novel. A truly believable character emerged into the seductive world of horse racing, who wouldn't love it. The plot twists keep you guessing until the very end, while the character's find their way into your heart. You find yourself longing to know what happens next, so read on. It only gets better from here.

Summary: A good read.
Review: This book was aptly named. First, the heroine was betrayed byher family that her mother's dead, when she was actually in prison formurder. When she actually meets her mother, that's when the storypicks up. Though I like horses, the story behind horse racing never really caught my interest. There's a lot of sabotage in the horse racing industry that I never knew about. Nora made it a little more interesting to me. I felt the romance between the hero and the heroine was a bit swift. By the end of the story, the true betrayal will have you saying, "No, it can't be!" The action and drama was enough to keep me flipping the pages.

Summary: Good story with interesting characters
Review: This is the first Nora Roberts "mystery" that I have read. In the past I have read her more traditionally romantic books, and I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. There is a breadth of information and a depth of characters here that puts this above many of her other books for me. I was genuinely interested in Kelsey and Naiomi's relationship, and pleased with the way that both of them, and Kelsey's father as well, seem to learn and grow in the course of the book. The supporting characters are also good, and there is enough detail to the descrptions of the world of horse racing to make the story feel realistic. Interestingly enough, I think the weakest character in the novel is Gabe, who seems fraught with contradictions that I think should have bothered Kelsey, given her concern for ethics and rights and wrongs. I am not disturbed by Gabe's background at all, but I am puzzled by the acceptance of him as a "gambler," which sometimes seems to feed into some of the stereotypes abotu racing that the novel seems to be trying to contradict. Overall, I think this is a good vacation read. I enjoyed it and will look for mor eNora Roberts books from this sub-genre.

Summary: One about thoroughbred racing
Review: This story about the glamourous world of horse racing takes the reader into the sleazy side of the racing world. Nice story line, location moves around to add spice, twists to make the story interesting. Secondary characters play a big role in this story.

Summary: A great who done it novel
Review: This was my second Nora Roberts novel. I have to admit, I did have a hard time getting started, but once I did, I couldn't put it down. The whole time I was reading it, I kept getting these aweful flash backs of my ex-husbands Grandmother every time they mentioned the Father's Mother. The lies and the deceitfulness, made me depise the woman and made me realize why I despised my ex's Grandmother. Thanks for the great books. I would like to recommend to other Nora Robert's fans, you HAVE to read "Divine Evil". It has to be the best.

Review: This was the first book that I read by Nora Roberts. I must say it was an excellent read. Until the end you wondered who was behind the deaths. And you will never believe who it was...
But I was dissappointed that Nora didn't have a harsher punishment for the person behind it or did not tell us the reaction when that person was exposed. I will be picking up another book by Nora Roberts and hope it's as good as this one.
