Summary: ok for contemporary
Review: I have read about 5 books by Nora Roberts. My favorite was Honest Illusions. I tend to read historical romance. A friend gave me my first Nora Roberts' book Born in Fire. That series of three books held my interest to try another book of Ms. Roberts. Honest Illusions I could keep; the others all went back. Tucker and Caro were a good match, but my favorite character was Cy. I had a strong feeling who the killer was during the pathology section in the book. (Don't want to spoiler it for others.) The actual killer isn't revealed until about three pages before the book ends; and I felt some people should have moved out-of-the-area (if you catch my drift). Hard for people to forget and forgive in a story about serial killers. Sorry all you Nora Roberts' fans. I had better stick to historicals.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Re-Release
Review: I love ALL of Nora Roberts' books.....you laugh or cry or gasp when something happens to all her characters as if you're right there to witness everything.....I am just a bit annoyed that this is actually a re-release not a new paperback....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great suspense and romance!
Review: This is another one of Nora Roberts' great ones! I honestly didn't think I would like the book until she cast out the wonderful characters. I found myself relating to Caroline and dreaming about Tucker. I was caught--hook, line, and sinker! I also enjoyed the Confederate/Yankee differences. Nora has always had a way of making her characters life-like, but this time she's out-done herself! Each and every one of the characters in this novel is just like someone in your own town. I think this is probably the most enjoyable book I've read in a long time!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Silhouette Meets Stephen King
Review: This book was explosive. A perfect mix of a little romance and a lot of mystery. You get so attached to the characters but never in your wildest dreams will you expect the killer to be who they were. It was hard to put down and when it is over I assure you, you'll be stunned. Compared to some of Nora's other books like Geniune Lies or Public Secrets it may seem gritty or maybe even scary but I loved it and if you like mystery I think you will love it too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: page turning surprise
Review: i am an avid reader of nora roberts and she never ceases to amaze me. carnal innonence was a book i will read again. the ending was not expected i found myself solving the mystery many times but never with the right ending. the characters were strong all the way through the book. if you love books that keep you guesing, read this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best of Robert's Best
Review: I'm an avid reader Nora Roberts stories, but C.I.is my favorite, even the 'minor' charecters live (the hilarious FBI agent is unique)the ending jaw dropping,and as for the male lead Tucker-just when is cloning going to be perfected? Every gal wants one like that!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Surprising
Review: Just got done finishing the book and all I can say is that I was completely wrong in thinking who the villian was.. Tucker Longstreet is one smooth operator and I wouldn't mind meeting up with him in another book. Give me a Nora Robert's book any time for enjoyment and surprising endings!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: who dun-it
Review: the story beyond trying to find the killer kept my attentions and with all books of this nature, i find myself thinking "its him....no, its him...oh wait...its him" which i absolutely love!

this story takes the reader to a slower paced town in which everyone knows everyone. caroline comes to this town for the slower pace, but finds herself smack dab in the middle of a murder mystery. tucker, usually laid back (literally) falls for caroline and in the end, does all he can to protect her from the evil that lies in innocence

throughly enjoyed this one! ::smile

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Entertaining and hard to put down
Review: I just finished reading this book and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Nora Roberts seemed to capture the pace of the South and she wrote an incredibly charming lead in Tucker. Caroline was also a pretty good character but she was less fully developed than Tucker and even a couple of the others. I like to guess "whodunit" and this time I did guess -- less than halfway through the book. However, having an idea who the killer was didn't remotely diminish my enjoyment of reading it -- I just wanted to see if I was right. A recommended read!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Suprisingly good!
Review: Although my reading tastes run more toward Stephen King and Johnathan Kellerman, I began reading this book one day when I was out of new things to read. As I ordinarily would not read "sappy romances," I was pleasantly suprised to find myself 50 pages in and sending my 2 year old to watch Sesame Street so I could get in a few more pages! This book had a nice balance of mystery, humor and (not sappy) romance. I was a bit concerned with the number of editorial errors - several misspelled and misused words - kind of suprising in the age of computers! Overall, an interesting way to spend free time.
