Summary: Great, unique novel
Review: A lot of reviewers have said they dont understand where Adrianna got her skills from... well it says that early on she was a math wiz and learned calculus before she dropped out of school at a young age. I thought it was kinda obvious that she must have taught herself (because she is so smart, good at math and logical thinking).This book was interesting because the first part of the book was so different from the last half, as far as tone and action. I found the plot very unique because you get to see both the good and bad sides to living in a Moslem world. I kind of wanted Adrianna and her father to make up somehow, but I guess thats just the optimist in me. Excellent book, I could hardly put it down and finished it in about two days.

Summary: Adrianne and Phillip, 2 Beautiful characters, on the inside.
Review: Adrianne, A down to earth woman, who happens to be a Princess turn thief. Phillip, A thief turn private investigator. Beautiful Locations around the world. Action and Adventure, in Adrianne's double life as a thief at night, princess in the day. There are so many things, that I like about this book. I like Phillip and Adrianne's street smarts. I like the fact that Phillip is so cool, calm, observing, and confident, without being arrogant and vain. He shows real concern for Adrianne, without being nosy and pushy. I like the fact that Phillip could seperate pleasure from business. His maturity, views, and approach on Love Making was unique. I also like his deep respect for Adrianne, especially when she told him NO, the first time he tried to be intimate with her, to the end, when even He ( Phillip ) had to admit Adrianne was very good as a thief. And, the Love for his mother, was fun to read. His mother, so full of personality, I could see how his caring, thoughtfulness, and respect for women came from. As for Adrianne, I just like how she handle her own business, by staying focus and true to her goals, which was to seek revenge by stealing something precious ( The Sun and The Moon Necklace, which once belong to her Mother. ) from her father, who brutally abused her mother, in more ways than one. I also like that she was Not easily distracted, even the attention she got from Phillip. She was determine to meet her goals, and seek her revenge, which made Phillip more intrique by Adrianne. There is just so many things, that I like about those 2 characters. The Mental Health Center that Adrianne wanted to open, was such an appropriate tribute, to her Mother Phoebe, who had suffer abuse from her father. It just showed how loving and caring, that Adrianne was to her Mother and to others. I highly recommend reading this story, which is truely a believable and a good read.

Summary: Jewelry jewelry jewelry!!!
Review: Hello? Who hasn't wanted to be a jewel thief at some point in his or her life? One who would never get caught, of course. I loved the descriptions of the jewels they stole (I love every kind of jewelry) and I loooooove the thief plotline. Although like "The Thomas Crown Affair" it does make thieving seem somewhat glamorous- that whole "honor among thieves" thing. When in reality it's probably quite a bit different.

Summary: FROM THE HAREM TO NY CITY
Review: I AM A HUGE NORA ROBERTS FAN. HOWEVER, FOR THE FIRST TIME I AM DISAPPOINTED. ROBERTS SHOWS WHAT IT IS REALLY LIKE LIVING INSIDE A HAREM. IF YOU LIKE BOOKS WITH HAREMS IN THEM THEN YOU WOULD LIKE THIS ONE. SHE DID EXCELLENT FIELD WORK ON IT. I FINISHED READING IT ONLY BECAUSE ROBERTS WROTE IT. THE AMERICAN PARTS I ENJOYED THOROUGHLY

Summary: Couldn't Stand the novel
Review: I couldn't even finish the novel. The setting was boring and difficult to relate with. I thought it was awful.

Summary: Racist and Ignorant
Review: I don't even know where to start with what I feel about this book, the author and my fellow reviewers. I picked this book up because I love Nora Roberts and the genre but the feeling of "this is NOT happening" intensified with each passing page. Muslims are portrayed as backward, cruel, barbaric and reprehensible in every way. This book promotes and perpetuates every horrible stereotype about Muslims - more specifically people from the Middle East who are Muslim (because they're not all Muslims you know!) I have never been so disgusted by a book only three pages in!

Summary: Made me want to be an international jewel thief!
Review: I enjoyed reading this book for the Sun and the Moon. The revenge of wanting to get this necklace back really made me root for Adrianne, but I'm happy she, along with Philip won't resume their thefts.

Summary: It left me wanting more.
Review: I have just started reading Nora Roberts books. I have completed 6 of them and have loved all of them. Sweet Revenge was wonderful. I loved the descriptive writing, it made you feel like you were there. I don't have compassion for people who steal but I could not help but feel for Adrianne. Phillip was the perfect man for her. Ms. Roberts is a fabulous writer.
