Rating: Summary: Carolina Moon is Awesome Review: I couldn't wait to get this book and when I finally did I flew through it, and now I wish I was just getting it. It's one of those books that you just can't pick up another book after reading because the characters still have a hold on you. Nora Roberts has done it again. The characters are well developed and very lovable. I personally loved Faith. Youv'e got to love watching a person struggle with their feelings and I've never liked one as much as I did Faith. This is just an added bonus to Tory and Cade. It's gripping, and heartwrenching but leaves you toatally satisfied. The end will totally shock you.
Rating: Summary: How do you top this? Review: There isn't anything to say about this novel that hasn't already been said by the other reviewers concerning the storyline. It is fantastic, I loved the characters-especially Faith. My two cents about this novel is this, if you plan on reading this, isolate yourself somewhere so you can read it straight through. You'll only get frustrated if you're interrrupted. Second, if you haven't read Carnal Innocence by Ms. Roberts go get it now. She uses the same type of southern characters with twice as much suspense. Carolina Moon is definitely a keeper, one you will find yourself reading again just to see what you missed the first time. The dialogue is snappy with some great one-liners. How Ms. Roberts keeps writing so many great novels is beyond me. She is truly one of the most creative writers I have ever read.
Rating: Summary: Carolina Moon Review: I have always anxiously waited for the next Nora Roberts writing. Totally wasted an afternoon and evening reading this one. VERY disappointed -- the writing mediocre -- the story depressing.
Rating: Summary: Good enough but not Robert's best work. Review: I can honestly say that I'm somewhat surprised to see this book warrant so many five stars from readers. I have been an avid Nora Robert's fan for some time now and have read a truly countless amount of her books and this one, though good, is forgettable, at best.If I were to compare this book to another of Robert's novels I would compare it to "Sanctuary" and mention that it lacks the feverish intensity of that gripping novel. As I said, it's a decent work but as far as Robert's best, I wouldn't even think to name this novel in the top five.
Rating: Summary: A Southern Suspense Sure To Please! Review: I've always been able to depend on Nora Roberts for an entertaining story, but her latest works have been top of the line storytelling at it's best. Carolina Moon is a bit more gritty and earthy than some of her prior novels. It's a well rounded read, filled with complex characters and intense plot lines. Tory, the heroine, is quite engaging, not a simpering southern belle, but a deep individual coming to terms with her past as well as looking towards her future. Cade, as the understanding hero of the book, is not just a spoiled rich boy, but a man who tries his best to be a fair person in a climate where right isn't always the most popular course to follow. With supporting characters that are just as interesting as the leads, this book is a can't-put-down kind of story, with nail-biting intensity. It's Nora Roberts at her best!
Rating: Summary: The Moon Over Carolina is Full Tonight! Review: Thank God it rained in NY on Saturday. That is the day I picked up Nora Robert's new mystery and began reading it--and finished reading it, too. As usual, her banter was well written, the novel was character driven, and highly entertaining. Although I was pretty sure who the murderer was by the first fourth of the book, I was never 100% sure until nearly the end.
Rating: Summary: Surprisingly Good! Review: I am not an avid Nora Roberts fan, but this one is very different. The story started out a bit slowly, and the introduction of all the characters was confusing. In typical Roberts style, though,the various introductory stories wove into an exciting and gripping whole with strong believable characters. I particularly liked the psychic aspect and the way that this was the pivotal part of the story. I personally feel that Nora Roberts portrays the masculine point of view better than any other romance writer, and again she has created men you can actually relate to. This book is definitely worth reading but be sure to block out enough time, as I dare you to put it down!
Rating: Summary: Another winner from Nora Review: I don't know how Nora Roberts consistently creates stories and characters that alternately have you laughing and crying, in between being scared to death, but I am so glad that she does. Tory is one of her best heroines to date and Cade is her match. The love between Tory and her murdered little friend, Hope, is touching, real and tragic as Tory keeps "seeing" Hope's murder over and over. Tory's efforts to deal with Hope's death after almost 20 years and solve her murder, as well as come to terms with her abusive father, is a very compelling read. In addition, there is a great secondary love story for Cade's remaining sister, Faith. The action and suspense keep building and the identity of the killer is a shock. Can't wait for her next book. Thank God she is such a quick (and Fabulous) author.
Rating: Summary: Another Robert's hit! Review: When she was eight, Tory Bodeen witnessed the murder of her best friend . . . though she wasn't there. Visions of what happened to Hope assaulted her then, and haunt her now. It's time for Tory to come home and face the past -- face the visions that she can't escape. Tory opens a new store, and opens up the past someone hopes will stay buried. Cade Lavelle lost his sister Hope when she was brutally murdered. And though the rest of his family survived, he lost them as well that fatal night. And now Tory Bodeen is back, claiming she "saw" what happened that night and plans to find out who killed Hope. Tory could be trouble . . . or she could be the best thing that ever happened to him. Carolina Moon is a heart-touching romance, as well as a classic whodunit with a paranormal, but not overwhelming, twist that makes for a powerful, page-turning read.
