As I began reading this book, it felt familiar. I am a third of the way through, and I am sure that I have read this book before. But......the release date says October 2012 on . I don't think this is true. After getting on Nora Robert's web site, I didn't find any new releases with this book title at any time this year. I feel cheated. Now I know to check the authors web sites for new releases before spending my hard earned money on something I already read. Really dissapointed!!!
I was excited to see a "new Nora Roberts" with a publication date of 2012. I forgot Kindle dates are different than the actual book publishing date, which in this case was 2003. I still felt cheated especially since the book reads awkwardly now; the hero smokes and has to hoof it down to a pay phone to make a call. Shame on you Nora for not printing all your reprints in a distinctive cover and shame on you for not doing a better job for kindle book purchasers. Just give us a big old gold or silver border on all these reprints that we read years ago and sometimes get fooled into buying again. I buy A LOT of books for my Kindle and this is the first time I got fooled but shame on me too. I will certainly double-check next time I make a Nora Roberts purchase. I would skip this particular story, very stilted writing from one of my favorites.
This book was written under a different title over 20 years ago (in 1989) and yet it's being presented as a New Release and because so many of us are Nora Roberts' fans, we get sucked in to buying it. This is not fair to readers! Publishers should have to make a disclaimer.
I have not even started this book and find it is a book I had read eons ago. shame on you as much as I've loved your books this is just not fair .since I'm a kindle user I do not think I can return it .if I could I would. from now on I will check copyright date BEFORE I buy ..I'm giving this a 1 you got a 1 for cheatingPatti
I have gotten to the point that before I buy a kindle book by Nora Roberts - I will "google" the title. I am frustrated with buying books marketed as new publications only to find I have read them - often many years ago..so much for preorder if we do not have honest publication dates. Shame on you! Especially at new book prices!!
FBI Agent Roman DeWinter comes undercover to the Whale Watch Inn to break up a counterfeiting and smuggling ring. One of his suspects is the inn's lovely owner, Charity Ford. He has to solve the case and clear Charity from all involvement before he can allow himself to fall in love with her. There is mystery and suspense as we figure out who the counterfeiters/smugglers are.Excerpt from the back of the book:"Secret agent Roman DeWinter came to the seaside inn with only the clothes on his back and a loaded .38 revolver. His orders: expose a criminal organization based at the vacation hideaway. His downfall: forsaking all reason for a few precious moments with the lovely innkeeper Charity Ford - his key suspect....."
If Nora Roberts sets out to write a book, it is always romantically inclined, but it usually isn't as full of cliches as this work is. Truly, you have to read it to believe it. Or rather, don't.
Only the last 20 or 30 pages are written with any care. The rest is very sloppy, boring and repetive. I think the robot wrote most if the book.
