Rating:  Summary: great read! Review: I laughed out loud so many times reading the book. Nora's very good with sneaking small funny details in her books that catch you off guard. "My dear Izzy, the deed is done!" :P I think this book mixes the right amount of suspense and romance, and humour, which makes it a very engaging read. Yay to you, Nora!

Rating:  Summary: a gem in itself Review: i liked this book. as always, the relationship between dora and jed is perfect (from bitter to insulting to love) and the family of dora is a strong one (seems like im talking about most of nora roberts characters huh??) and the evil bad guy is always full of greed and ....well....evilness!!! ::smile.
Rating:  Summary: My first and favorite Nora Roberts book. Review: I picked this book up while on vacation a few years ago. I had never heard of Nora Roberts and was not a romance fan. This story introduced me to Roberts and romance. The plot revolves around Dora Conroy, a quirky proprietor of a small antique shop, who inadvertently interferes with the illegal shipment of some smuggled artwork and becomes the target of a ruthless and deadly businessman. Her new tenant Jed Skimmerhorn, an ex detective with the Philadelphia PD, is reluctantly attracted to Dora and feels obligated to protect her when the bad guys break into her apartment and threaten her. Add Dora's spirited family of actors and their bizarre show biz friends into the mix and you have the recipe for fun. The story is at times humorous, often suspenseful, very romantic and always a great read. You won't want to miss this one.

Rating:  Summary: This version needs special equipment Review: I was amazed when I received this cassette set from Amazon.com to find it is double taped (5 cassettes instead of 7 or 8 cassettes) and needs a two speaker system(You have to switch from speaker a to b four times for each tape) or an adapter(only available by the cassette company.) Story is excellent as I have read the book but am now unable to hear the tape on a regular tape player. Beware of this situation before you buy it. Also, Amazon.com, please make note of this situation when describing the specifics of the product.
Rating:  Summary: A terrific read! Review: If you like Nora Roberts, this is Nora at her best. If you've never read her books, please do -- you won't be disappointed! In "Hidden Riches", Dora is a delightful character with the kind of quirky family we all wanted as kids! Jed is a gorgeous cop who is trying to reevaluate his life. Put them together, with a "love to hate'em" bad guy, and you've got a book that you won't want to put down. I've read this book several times over the years, and still love it.

Rating:  Summary: Mystery and Romance- A sure winner Review: In typical Nora Roberts fashion- this mystery is interesting and exciting and the romance is hot. I Loved this book. The relationship as it grows between Dora and Jed is fun to read about. The mystery kept me interested and added some spark to this book. It is obvious that Nora Roberts did a lot of research when writing this book. I appreciate that as it shows through in her writing and makes the book that much more realistic. Wonderful book.
Rating:  Summary: An intriguing story about obsessions. Review: Nora Roberts can sure spin romance and suspense into a fascinating plot.
Dora Conroy is an antique dealer, and everything a woman would like to be - intelligent, strong, witty and very beautiful. Jed Skimerhorn is her tenant, a gorgeous man - and a cop. When he moves in next door, sparks fly.
When Dora buys a painting in an auction, she accidentally puts herself in the middle of an evil man's path, and "accident" suddenly happen all around her. While untangling themselves of evil's web, Dora and Jed manage to resolve some very painful private demons.
I enjoyed every minute of this book.
