Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 'High Noon' took up too much time!I'm relatively unfamiliar with Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb's work, having only read one Eve Dallas short story, and nothing written under the author's real name, prior to this book. I thought the premise and backstory of the characters were both good, but after a while, the pacing was a bit of a problem. The 'police procedural' aspects were fine, but the romantic subplot just didn't deliver as much as it promised. I thought the action really dragged from around chapter 15 until close to the end ...

The premise of each of her books, I have discovered, is pretty much the same: strong female type falls in love under strange circumstances and everything is happy-go-lucky in the end.

I have enjoyed all of Roberts books including the J.D. Robb series. Rating: - A Big Fan - but not for this book!First - I am generally a big fan of Nora Robert's books. I adore the JD Robb series! I was excited that this book appeared to start to introduce a new cool heroine for us. Wow - what a disappointment. I am wondering if someone else really wrote this for her given all the pressure to crank books out or something. Honestly - there was absolutely NO chemistry between the characters. The handsome guy was milk toast - and the heroine was whiny and boring. My sister actually bought the book and stopped ... Read More |
