Rating: 3 stars
Summary: okay, not great
Review: This was a good beach read, but not the best NR book I have ever read. The plot has been recycled, reading like "Carnal Innocence". The editting bothered me: not only the timeline, but the repeated use here (and in other NR books) of the word "undo". It should read "undue influence" or "undue effort". The two words mean completely different things (unnecessary vs. come undone) and are NOT interchangable. Does the editor not own a dictionary?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nora does it again
Review: Carolina Moon is a fairly typical NR book in that the characters are well developed (especially the side line characters of Faith and Wade)there's a twist at the very end, which, even though fairly typical, was still unexpected in that I knew it was going to happen but didn't expect who it was.

All in all other fine read. But then, I don't think I've read anything by NR that hasn't been.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Writing is great, subject too disturbing
Review: I usually enjoy NR's books, but I found this plot to be too weird and off-the-wall to enjoy. The writing, as always, is top-notch, and it certainly kept my attention, but I don't expect it to be a book I reread often, if ever. There are serial killer plots I've found interesting before, but since what I found interesting about them was the police work behind the search, this didn't provoke the same interest. I was just too disturbed by the plot to be able to appreciate the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book!
Review: Carolina Moon kept my attention during the entire book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Different...but GREAT!
Review: This was a different story line for Roberts, but the great mix of characters make it all worth while. The flash backs and the suspense were excellent. The bond that Tory shared with Hope is undeniable. Never have I read a book that completely shocked me at the end. Great stuff!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Big let down and boring
Review: I really enjoy Nora Roberts books and especially the once she writes under the name of J.D.Robb. Her style is very entertaining and keeps you involved in the story from the beginning till the end. Most of the time you are sorry to see the story come to a end. But this book is a big let down. From the first page on it is very hard to become involved into the story and to remain interested. It is not worth the money. I am sorry to say so. But it is true. It is a bit unrealistic,has some mistakes in it and even though that is not bad, the whole story is absolutely boring.Been there, done that, have read this multiple times before, is the type of feeling you get right away. The end unrealistic and the whole book feels so depressive and totally is not worth your time and not getting any better. I hope her next books are more like herself and her style again. I like changes but this is boring and almost makes you feel as if she didn't spend much time on it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great read!
Review: I love Nora Roberts books and this one is just as good as the others. I was surprised by the ending, loved the 2 romances, and really enjoyed the way the characters evolved in the story - especially Faith.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another great book from Nora
Review: I loved the book so much I couldn't put it down. Throughout the story I loved the character of Faith and the way she opens herself to accepting her faults and moving forward with new understanding for relationships. As I got to the end of the book I certainly had no idea that the killer was who it was. I was entranced by the story throughout. Well done yet again Nora Roberts!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Enjoyable
Review: I've been reading Nora Roberts for about three years and always enjoy her books. Carolina Moon was no exception. I especially enjoyed the relationship between Faith and Wade. However, being a veterinarian myself, I can say the scenes in the vet clinic were completely unrealistic. At times, I found myself laughing at how off base Roberts was on the workings of a veterinary clinic. Otherwise, the book was good, although the ending was a bit strange.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An enjoyable formula book from Nora
Review: I'm being a little generous with the 4 stars, it should be 3 1/2. Nora's books are always fun to read, but they all follow the same basic pattern. The one thing that was different about this book though was the fact that the heroine didn't hate the hero at the start of the story and then grow to love him, she liked him pretty much right from the beginning. Reading Nora Roberts is like watching most 1/2 hour sitcoms, enjoyable, easy to follow, with a happy ending. And I am not knocking that, but I think she can do better (in her older books she did). Maybe if Nora didn't have to knock out a new novel every few months, she would be able to put a little more effort into her new ones.
