Summary: Oh, I am SO glad someone else saw that!
Review: I read this book, and the comparison IMMEDIATELY jumped out at me. I gave it to mys sister, without telling her what I saw, and she got the connection too. I mean, the small, southern town, the death, the separation, the children of both the founding family and of the resident white trash, the hero's sister. All of it was eerily familiar. Even Robert's inclusion of "the sight" smacked of Linda Howard.Still, the comparison didn't disturb me. I love Howard, and I liked "After the Night," but this was so much better. All of the characters were more appealing, and the story was stronger, and much more sympathetic. in ATN, there was a vicious arrogance about the hero, and an old, cruel conflict that I never felt was fully resolved, or that he was ever even really sorry for. The characters in CM are stronger, and much more grown up. They have conversations that last more than ten minutes at a time, don't solve every problem with hot, hard sex, but make a connection on a more intellectual level. So, yeah, they're similar, but this one comes out on top!

Summary: A Little Bit Of Everything
Review: I really enjoyed this novel. I will have to say that in the first few pages, I was a little confused about the characters. It is worth a little confusion to forge ahead. What a delight! Carolina Moon has a little bit of everything including murder, romance, small town gossip, spousal abuse, child abuse, and so much more. One of those books you just can't put down. For me the ending was the best. Wow, what a surprise. You won't be disappointed, so go ahead and read it.

Summary: Roberts is OUTSTANDING
Review: Ms Roberts know how to deliver a good romantic and suspenseful novel. Carolina Moon is no exception. Tory goes back home after being gone for 18 years. Raised by an abusive father, Tory only knows pain and distrust. Tory's childhood best friend was murdered 18 years ago and Tory has come back for answers. Blessed or cursed with a 2nd sight Tory knows that the killer has killed before...and will kill again. Meanwhile, Her childhood best friend's brother Cade Lavelle wants more from Tory than Tory has ever wanted to give. That's the romance part. But I was intriqued by who the bad guy is. You know one of the character that was introduced in the storyline has to be it and you think you might know but then again is Ms. Roberts that obvious? Read the book and enjoy the suspenseful climax.

Summary: An Enthralling Mystery
Review: Nora Roberts is an excellent romance writer, she's also an excellent mystery writer. Carolina Moon was fascinating with Tory Bodeen's psychic ability adding an erie quality to the story. When Tory decides to return home to open a design store she also decides she will put to rest her tragic past. A past the includes the murder of her best friend and the memories of a brutal father. The romance that develops between Tory and Cade, her deceased best friend's brother, is touching and sensitively written as Tory is torn between loving him and revealing to him the truth about herself. An absolute must read.

Summary: Carolina Moon by Nora Roberts
Review: I have always been a fan of Nora Roberts. This is one of her best books. This is great reading even for those who don't care for romance novels. So far I have loaned this book to my daughter and most of my friends and everyone has said it is a great read.

Summary: Unique heroine but watch out for the Southern Stereotypes
Review: Carolina Moon is an off-beat but fun mystery to read. The story revolves around the female characters, mainly the heroine, Tory. There are also other female characters portrayed in such a way that they are interesting, strong and inspiring despite some of their less than desirable personality traits. However, as a Carolinian myself, it was very disheartening and unusually elementary for Nora Roberts to use the names Bodeen and Clampett to try to invoke a sense of "southern hicks". One does not need such a subconscious reminder of The Beverly Hillbillies to get a sense of small, southern town atmosphere!

Summary: My Review
Review: Carolina Moon was the first book that I ever read from Nora Roberts. It was a wonderful book and I strongly reccomend that you read it if you have not already! After I read Carolina Moon I read Sanctuary and I am currently reading The Reef. Both books, like Carolina Moon, I reccomend to read. Nora Roberts does a wonderful job of writing books that are both creative and intriguing!
