Remember When By Nora Roberts and J.D. Robb
What a fascinating premise! Remember When is the first join venture between best-selling romance novelist Nora Roberts and her alter-ego best-selling futurist novelist, J.D. Robb. The book is written in two sections - the first by Roberts and the second by Robb, and son of a gun if there isn't a distinct difference in writing styles between the two!
Remember When begins in the quaint Maryland town of Angel's Gap where an antiques dealer, Laine Tavish, has set up a small shop to try to overcome the hardship of her heritage as the daughter of a notoriuos thief. When her father pulls off the heist of his life, stealing millions in diamonds, he brings a murderer and an insurance investigator to her door. Part One ends with Laine falling for the sexy investigator, recovering most of the diamonds, and putting the murderer in jail.
Fast-forward fifty years in the future to New York City when the granddaughter of Laine Tavish writes her family story of the stolen diamonds. When her book becomes a best-seller and people around her start dying, Lieutenant Eve Dallas gets the case. What a story Roberts and Robb create in Remember When - such intrigue, such romance, and such incredible characters all in one meaty 450-page book. (If you're going to pay twenth plus bucks for a new bestseller - don't you want 450 pages?)
Fans of both Nora Roberts and J.D. Robb will thoroughly enjoy her latest bestseller, Remember When. And if you've not read either before, what an introduction to the captivating writing styles of this one enormously talented woman! It's not great literature, but boy is it fun! thumbs up for this working writer's latest and most creatively crafted bestseller - Remember When.
