ENGAGING THE ENEMY

THE BOOK ITSELF WAS QUITE "ENGAGING" AND HELD MY ATTENTION TO THE END. I JUST LOVE THE WAY NORA ROBERTS HOLDS YOUR ATTENTION TO THE VERY END.

A Profound Resonance

Nora Roberts writes with ease and confidence. Her prose is always lucid and her plots are credible. Characterization is one of Nora's strengths, with people being revealed rather than described, thereby allowing the reader to engage the text with greater intimacy. This aspect of her writing was recently discussed during an interview with David Letterman on his television show and at the conclusion of the interview, Letterman's side-kick, Paul Shaffer, screamed out at the top of his voice, 'Hey Nora! I engaged the enemy 20 years ago. Then I married her.' To her credit, Ms Roberts ignored the buffoon's comments and maintained a dignified, Harpo Marx-like silence, concluding the interview with a honk of her bicycle horn. It was a telling moment.

2 Classic Nora's in one book!

"A Will and a Way" Two "enemies" are co-beneficiaries of a large estate. Their friends and family will do almost anything to scare them off so that they break the terms of the will. They must live togeather in a large remote house for for 6 months. What is at stake 150 million, and other considerations. Nora brings both characters to life with her usual style and wonderful touch."Boundary Lines," The second story in the book about to ranching families that have been feuding for generations. The problem is the next two "rulers" of ranches, can decide if they want to hit each other or kiss. A classic Nora republished from their original "Silhouette" version. Both of these storys (in one book) are a wonderful read! I highly recommend them if you are a fan of Nora Roberts writing! Definately worth the read.

Another Nora Roberts' Classic

This book features two of Nora Robert's older romance novels but they still show why she is such a great writer. Both novels start out with the hero and heroine on opposite sides facing danger and predictably end up with them both falling for each other.A will and A Way- features Michael and Pandora, two people who are given a fortune by their recently departed relative. Unfortunately, there is a catch- they have to reside in the mansion together for 6 months to claim their inheritance. Sounds easy! But Michael and Pandora have always been at odds since they were teens and their jealous other relatives (who want their inheritance) try to make them leave the mansion and forfeit their claim.Boundary Lines- Jillian and Aaron are neighboring ranchers who must battle the dangers of ranching while some unknown people who are stealing their cattle. Jillian, of course, thinks its Aaron and that fact is heightened by the fact that their two families are lifelong enemies.Both novels are great summer reads- Enjoy

2 great classic stories

These are reprints of earlier category romance novels. Both are very good. Both feature slightly antagonistic relationships where the hero and heroine start at as enemies. Nora Roberts is especially good at the volatile chemistry between these kinds of couples. The first book, A Will and a Way forces 2 people to stay in a mansion together to win an inheritance. Despite the fact that the heroine is named Pandora, this is a very good story. It has a slight bit of suspense as the other relatives try to force them out of the mansion so they lose the inheritance. The second book, Boundary Lines, is also very good. Jillian inherits her grandfather's ranch and tries to keep feuding with Aaron Murdock. This novel also features a slight bit of suspense, however the chemistry between the two main characters is what makes this story shine! These are both good light reading, perfect for summer.
