"RE: O'Shaughnessy, Palmer and Roberts (IGNORE MY OTHER " In response to message #0      I have read ones just by Diana Palmer and just by Nora Roberts, but not as a collaberation. The chesapeak bay series is really popular for Nora Roberts and her new book Northern Lights is pretty good too. Many of Diana Palmer's novels are western romance. For a while I was really into the genre. Her books are usualy hit or miss. There have been some that I actually cried when I have read them and others where I can't get past the fifth or so chapter! Usually if you go to amazon.com and look at their ratings for her they hold pretty true!! Also, if you get one of her books and only want a single title make sure you open it and look because many of the books have 2-3 stories! Happy reading! KW   Printer-friendly page | Top

"RE: O'Shaughnessy, Palmer and Roberts (IGNORE MY OTHER " In response to message #0      I really like Perri O'Shaughnessy. You do need to start from the beginning with "her" books. Nina Reilly is a great character. If you like lawyer stories and Lake Tahoe, these are for you. Perri O'Shaughnessy is actually a pen name for two sisters who write together.

"RE: O'Shaughnessy, Palmer and Roberts (IGNORE MY OTHER " In response to message #0      Perry O'Shaughnessy, Diana Palmer and Nora Roberts I read all three authors. I like them all in different way. PO is detective/lawyer type story. Very entertaining. DP writes romance. She has a formula. Some are very poignant and good reading. NR is very good with series about family. I love her MacKade brothers, Chesapeake series and a whole lot more! I love THREE FATES. Start with that. I thought it was great. **************************************************************** Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you want but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known. --Garrsion Keillor   Printer-friendly page | Top

I just bought 'Devin and Shane' by Nora Roberts, so hopefully I found myself a new favorite author (besides SEP of course!) ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~   Printer-friendly page | Top

"RE: O'Shaughnessy, Palmer and Roberts (IGNORE MY OTHER" In response to message #4   The MacKades were originally Silhouette books FYI. So, they're a little shorter and not as developed as some of the longer single-title or books in a series. However, it's one of my favorite series. I think you have two of the later books. I can't remember the order off-hand though. My personal favorite (though not a lot of people agree with me) is the Dream trilogy - Daring to Dream, Finding the Dream, Holding the Dream (though the last two may be in the wrong order). I haven't yet read Three Fates or Northern Lights, but I own them in hardcover so I will read them eventually. I liked them both at first glance and scan.   Printer-friendly page | Top

"RE: O'Shaughnessy, Palmer and Roberts (IGNORE MY OTHER" In response to message #5      Yes, I love the dream Trilogy too! **************************************************************** Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you want but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known. --Garrsion Keillor   Printer-friendly page | Top

Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors. I would also recommend Single title: Birthright The Chesapeake Bay series: Sea Swept Rising Tides Inner Harbor The "Born in" trilogy: Born in Fire Born in Ice Born in Shame The Jewels trilogy: Jewels of the Sun Tears of the Moon Heart of the Sea As others have said, Nora Roberts is fantastic at portraying family relationships, especially among siblings.

"RE: O'Shaughnessy, Palmer and Roberts (IGNORE MY OTHER" In response to message #4      The beauty of Nora, besides her wonderful characters and charm, is that she has written so many books. You can go on reading forever without having to wait till the next book comes out. I agree that the Chesapeake books are wonderful and the Born in series, and I also love the Stanislavski (?) family series altho I still want the book about the professional baseball player that is Kate's brother. But I understand her contract has run out on those so I guess it will have to exist in my head. I love the single title ones too, especially Birthright and Montana Sky and River's Edge because it's local to me. I have Northern Lights and plan to read it this weekend or Thanksgiving weekend for sure because I know I will want to read as much of it as possible at one time. Of course the JD Robb books are greatly entertaining too, altho darker.   Printer-friendly page | Top
