Not too much to say here. Roberts focuses mostly on the suspense aspect of this book and it works much better. The main reason why I gave it three stars is that I think that it would have been smart to include the POV of Naomi's brother as well. Thank goodness though he doesn't enter into a romance ...

This book is a mix of Boonsboro trilogy, the ...In Death series, the television show Criminal Minds, and category Romance. This is not a good mix, but the book ended up being okay. It started off with such potential. Naomi Bowes, age 11, follows her father into the West Virginian woods one night a...

I can always trust what I'm going to get with a Nora Roberts book and to date, I don't think I've been disappointed. I thought this might be a first as I made my way through the first few chapters. It was like an episode of Criminal Minds and that's not really how I want my Noras to be! *LOL* Bu...

The “who is behind this” mystery in the modern day portion of the story is not much of a mystery. Doesn’t matter because this isn’t a whodunnit.

The Obsession was a thrilling ride as we followed Naomi from the point when her life shattered at eleven years old through to when the past once again haunted her at age twenty-nine. What happened in between was a story of heartache, doubt, strength and ultimately hope. ‘Had she really told herself...

Well, this was Nora Roberts all the way. I love her stories with slightly damaged heroines whose jadedness makes them blind and stubborn as to what they truly want in life, what they truly deserve in life, and it takes the deceptively laid-back hero, that boy next door, often unassuming type, with t...

As per usual, I loved THE OBSESSION, even though I was able to pinpoint the bad guy from the moment he showed up. I want more sexy rugged guys and strong-willed heroines from Roberts!

This one is kind of hard to rate.The story is actually good. Naomi was twelve years old when she follows her dad in the woods, expecting to find out where he hid her birthday present only to find something else entirely.The chapters that immediately follow -- with the town and family realizing what ...

Not...great.We start off a bang. Amazing. Holy shit, that was an intense start. Then we spend an entire 50% with the everyday mundane shit of renovating a house, flirting with a man, and adopting a dog. FIFTY PERCENT. THAT MEANS HALF. HALF OF THE FUCKING BOOK. But then shit starts going down. Alrigh...
