Rating: Summary: The Stanislaski "Steps" Review: This 5th installment of the Stanislaski "series" focuses on the extended family of "those wild Ukrainians" (as the book jacket tackily calls them).Freddie, the stepdaughter of Natasha Stanislaski (from book 1 of the series), is all grown up now and ready to leave behind small-town life for the big city lights. New York is the natural place to go for more than one reason -- she has aspirations of writing lyrics for musicals, her extended family lives there, etc. But all the reasons just come down to one: Nick LeBeck lives there, and it's HIS music Freddie wants to write for. Nick, the stepbrother of Zack, who is married to Rachel, who is Natasha's sister (see the convoluted relationship?) was a troubled teen who has pulled his life out of its collision course with destruction and made a name for himself in the world of music composition. But he also has a chip on his shoulder about his background and his misspent youth, and when Freddie declares that she's loved him for years it throws him for a loop and makes him want to push her away. Their relationship is alternately tender and rocky, and Freddie's patience is put to the test as she waits for Nick to accept their love, but ultimately love does win out (doesn't it always?). I enjoyed this book very much and think it is definitely worthy of carrying the Stanislaski name!

Rating: Summary: Excellent Book Review: This book was one of the most amazing trillagies I've ever incountered. In order to fully appreciate the book it self you have to start from the begining by reading The Stanlaski Sisters first (almost by birth order which means your reading four books at once), then you have to read The Stanlaski Brothers then Waiting for Nick and then Considering Kate . That way you can fully appreciate each character that is introduced to the reader and you are (in some sense ) already feel as though you are apart of this family because of the stories behind each character. I myself have waited for this book for almost a year and practically spent all day reading this book because I could not put it down (I couldn't have imagine a better way to spend on my day off). I actually would give it ten stars Absolutly a great read for the romantic at heart.
Rating: Summary: Good book. Review: This story of Nick and Freddie is a good tie in with the rest of her stories in both the Stanislaus family and the O'Hurley family. You finally find out how they are after the traumatic single story
Rating: Summary: One of my favorite stories! Review: Waiting for Nick was a fun story, one of my favorite romance novels. The characters are believable and the plot is one you will read more than once!

Rating: Summary: Yeh for Reprints Review: Yes, this is a reprint...but I knew it was coming from Nora's News. Many times a reader picks up a series like the Stanislaski's after they have been released in paperback which may mean some of the series is not readily available. Yes I could search the flea markets and used book stores..but I prefer to buy new if possible to add to my library collection. I am one of those readers that loves to go back later and read them again. I love Nora Roberts and her series and was thrilled when I found Waiting for Nick.
