Nora Roberts Book set

I know some of you may have read this series but if you haven't I highly recommend her Chesapeake series of three books. I loved them. The four books are: Sea Swept, Rising Tides, Inner Harbor and Chesapeake Blue. I loved the characters and the mix of suspense and romance.

I remember that series and it was one of my favorites. Did she also set a series in Alaska? I recall a series where some brothers are looking for wives.

I agree with you, Susiegirl2, this was a very good series from Nora Roberts.

What did you all think of Whiskey Beach ? I thought it one of her best in her regular writings of late.

I don't know about the Alaska series. I haven't read Whiskey Beach yet but I hope to soon. I wish she would do a sequel to the Chesapeake series with the adult kids of the main characters.

I thought "WHISKEY BEACH" was pretty good, but her stand-alone novel from 2012, "THE WITNESS" was great. She has a new stand-alone novel coming out in April, called "THE COLLECTOR". Her bridal quartet was good too. I don't like her paranormal novels, but I LOVE her futuristic detective series, the "In Death" novels.

I think you're referring to the ""Midnight Sons"" series by Debbie Macomber.

I read the Witness and I loved it. In the back they had an excerpt from The Collector and I like how that one started. Today in the mail I got the Gallaghers of Ardmore trilogy. I can't wait to start them. I'm sure they'll be great.

I also enjoyed The Witness. I loved The Gallaghers of Ardmore trilogy and my favorite was her Irish Born Trilogy which I have read 5, maybe 6, times.

You hit it. Had my authors mixed up.

I think The Witness and The Search are two of her best books ever. The Chesapeake Bay series is good, too. I'm having a hard time getting through her latest series, The Cousins O'Dwyer Trilogy, but I'm looking forward to The Collector. I hope it's on par or better than The Witness and The Search.

The Witness has been through all my family, and friends, and my cleaning chick. (Her own title). I had to keep looking at the author to make sure it was really a Nora Robert's book.

Thank you for the other ideas.

The first Nora Roberts book that I read was The Search and that made me a fan. The only two books that I had to force myself to finish were Chasing Fire and The Sign of Seven Trilogy.

Has anyone read Northern Lights by Nora ? It was published in hardback in 2004, and is about police, women pilots,bush pilots, and a crime taking place in Lunacy, Alaska.

It appears to be a stand alone book at this point, I can't find evidence that it is or will be part of a series? Do any of you know anything about this story or have you read it, and if so, did you like it? I just picked up a copy and would love an opinion on it as I don't have time to start it for about a month due to other commitments.

TIA

I read it and liked it. It is one of her stand-alone novels. Lifetime made a movie of it starring Leann Rimes that I didn't like.

Update: The Collector was sub-par, in my opinion.

I just picked up a copy of this this week, have only read the first chapter.

Why are the TV movies never as good as the books? The do put a lot of hers on TV, but I never like them.

I've got The Witness and The Collector on the way also. Looking forward to those.

I'm currently reading A Change of Plans which is two romance stories in one book. Then today I bought The Last Boyfriend which is book two in the Inn Boonsboro trilogy. I already read book one and enjoyed it.

WHY ARE TV movies so crummy ? Is it so hard to follow a good book ?

I bet Nora cringes at that most times.
