Summary: Could Hardly Put The Book Down
Review: Nora Roberts has done it again. Three Fates is a fantastic book. Once I started it, I could hardly put it down. I liked all the six characters - aside from the fact that they are all good looking ( which is the usual romance book requirement) they have the usual flaws and not truly perfect. Their flaws makes them more human and you can relate to their imperfections. Truly a good read.

Summary: A Good Romantic Suspense Book
Review: Nora Roberts is regarded as one of the most beloved writers from the romance genre. Not content to write what I refer to as pure romance titles, Ms. Roberts is also well known as a writer of romantic suspense books and under the name JD Robb, a mystery series set in the future. Three Fates, a recent book is a good example of both the authors romance writing, sense of adventure and even weaves an ancient tale within the plot. The three fates of the title are three silver statues which when linked together are not only worth millions but are pieces supposedly with great powers according to legend. Also according to legend, one of the fates was lost when the Lusitania sunk. But was this fate really lost after the sinking? Could it have been taken off the ship somehow by one of the few survivors? And what has happened to the other two fates? Most importantly why are certain people being pursued, their homes being searched and then an innocent man murdered? Six young individuals, all somehow connected to one another by family, coincidence and the three fates find one another and romances begin, alliances once thought unlikely are forged, and over two continents the search is on for the three fates. This was a good book. It especially intrigued me to learn of the history behind the statues and where they were hidden for almost 100 years. The characters and each of their backgrounds were interesting and fine examples of Ms. Roberts ability to provide them with far reaching connection to one another. If you enjoy romantic books with a dash of suspense and adventure, Three Fates will surely be a satisfying read.

Summary: "Speaking of little silver ladies?"
Review: Irish siblings, a stolen fate, an unscrupulous antiquities dealer, and, a quest, racing across Europe, and, Ireland while dodging killers, in New York City! "HELLO Ms. Roberts" you're giving me gray hair here trying to keep up with all this stuff!" I thought "Three Fates" by the queen of 'BS' was far too complex. Too much happening, and, very hard to keep up with. Ms. Roberts must have taken her vitiman B12 shot when she wrote this one. Or perhaps she just ate one too many bowls of Wheaties for breakfast! Slow down Babe life's too short. This book gave me a headache trying to finish the damn thing. I stopped reading halfway through the book. (Three Fates Is Not Ms. Roberts Best Effort) I gave it (3) stars because as a rule I do enjoy most of Ms. Roberts novels. Believe it or not I am a fan (usually).

Summary: Unforgettable Tale of Romance
Review: I never am dissapointed when I pick up a Nora Roberts book. Three Fates is no exception! The characters are so entwined with each other that it seems without each part/role the story would never be complete. We have to admire how Nora depicts events in a way that captures your mind and heart. The Sullivan's *sighs* what else could anyone want in a mate?...and the women were strong minded and developed quite well through the story..a must read!

Summary: Excellent
Review: This is one of Nora Roberts best stories. I loved the mystery and intrigue and was delighted with all the surprises tucked in the story. The men tend to "scowl" a bit too much but the ladies are pretty plucky and ingenious. Altogether, a very good book...one you might find hard to put down.

Summary: Pleasantly surprising... sort of...
Review: I actually liked the book, I was surprised. I didn't really enjoy Villa or the trilogy with the fairies (started okay - ended flat). I'd also read a couple of bad reviews for this book, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it enjoyable. It did take me a while to actually like some of the main characters, but by the end of the book they grew on me. But, I do have a couple of complaints. The first is minor: the relationships were a bit fast, especially the sister's. Love at first sight is a nice little fantasy but I really think you need to actually hear someone speak before you decide you want to spend the rest of your life with this person. Chemistry is lust, infatuation and attraction, but it's not love.
It's not a big complaint, afterall, this IS fantasy, but I thought it could have been done better. My biggest complaint is the 'language.' I don't know what it is with romance writers lately, but from Sandra Brown to Nora Roberts, they all seem to think that swearing is now a requirement for a good story. I don't mind a few words here and there, but when the writers start having them come out of the characters' mouths every time they open their mouths I have to wonder what's going on. Shock value? Realistic? Maybe this is the norm where they live but, as shocking as they might find it, I can actually go thru my whole day with out hearing most of this language. I think I'd probably start avoiding some people if every other word out of their mouths was an obscenity. I really wish the writers would stop trying to go 'reality' on us. This is not my reality. That said, I really did like the story and recommend it to any Nora Roberts fan. But if you are offended by, or just plain tired of, foul language (words that start with 'f' and 'God') you might want to pass on this one.

Summary: Not One of Her Best
Review: I'm an avid Nora Roberts reader--I've searched out all of her old stuff that's being reissued this year. I found the story good for a light beach read, but not nearly as good as some of her classics (i.e. Honest Illusions, Hidden Riches). It seemed somewhat perfunctory, with everything neatly fitting the formula--a little too pat for me. I don't buy many hardcovers any more, and I wouldn't spend for this one. Paperback, maybe

Summary: ok, kind of boring
Review: I found this book kind of boring and basically skimmed the end, or didn't even finish it- i'm not sure. the three couples fit perfectly together and maybe it's because i'm used to reading books with one couple, but i felt the inclusion of three especially made the book drag. I've read better Nora Roberts books.

Summary: Three Fates one of Her Best!
Review: I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. There are so many threads running through this book and she ties them all neatly up at the end. This is one of those books that you say "I'll read ONE more chapter, then go to sleep"...over and over! You will LOVE all the characters-and they are SO varied!!
