Interpretation In Favor Of Books River's End
Olivia's parents were among Hollywood's golden couples…until the night a monster came and took her mother away forever. A monster with the face of her father...Sheltered from the truth, an older Olivia only dimly recalls her night of terror—but her recurring nightmares make her realize she must piece together the real story. Assisted by Noah Brady, the son of the police detective who found her cowering in her closet so many years before, she may have her chance. Noah wants to reconstruct the night that has become an infamous part of Hollywood history. He also wants to help Olivia and heal the longing in her lonely heart. But once the door to her past is opened, there's no telling what's waiting on the other side. For somewhere, not too far away, the monster walks again...

I Love Nora Roberts Books. They Not Only Have A Very Good Ending But The Story Is Great. This Story Keeps You Interest. Loved The Drama And How The Characters Related To Each Other. Loved The Ending. Another Great Book By Nora Roberts. 😍Illogical plotting. Not enjoyable. Bad audiobook narrator.AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR:I was annoyed with Sandra Burr. She has a nice voice for general narration and women, but she is awful with men. She lowers her voice to create weird male voices. One guy sounded like a B-movie robot. The hero wasnt as bad, but there was no emotional interpretation in his voice. It was monotone and wooden.Less of a problem, but it still annoyed me was her twang (southern-ish or hillbilly-ish). She said hees instead of
After reading a few too many lackluster, hard to get into and hard to stick with until the end novels this one reminded me of all the reasons I use to buy Nora Roberts books the minute they were released (can't do that anymore). Her characterization just grabs me from the first page and her books are difficult to break away from.The book starts out when Olivia, the heroine, is only four and her storybook life with her beautiful movie-star mom comes to a horrific end. Olivia is the only witness
This novel broke a lot of patterns for a romance novel. Much of the book was about Noah's book plans and huge swaths of the book were about the central mystery with Olivia completely absent. This might have worked better if the times we get with Olivia had been more pleasant. Which is my main problem with the book, I suppose. I really didn't care about Olivia. She was an emotional wreck, way beyond what is justified by her background (at least IMO). Or, to put it another way, someone who
Setting:Beverly Hills mansions; Rivers End camp and forests of Olympic Peninsula, WashingtonTheme:Love; violence; drugs; justice vs miscarriage of justiceCharacters:Olivia MacBride: age 4, has been loved by her mother and father they read her stories and play with her, they dress up and go to parties, but daddy becomes sick (using drugs) and doesnt live at home, she visits dad with aunt & uncle as chaperones and then she hears fighting, goes to find mom, plays with moms jars and lotions for
Isn't it every woman's fantasy to make love to a hot guy on a river bank in the mountains?The "villian" is someone you end up feeling sorry for. And at the end you love him and cry for him.Unexpected twist at the end.For a brief moment, I wanted to become a hiking guide. But then I came to my senses.
I've read a couple of her books before, and a couple of her as JD Robb, which on the whole I've preferred because I like the slightly sci-fi combination with the detective stories. I picked this up because I'm on a mission to get through my book club pile and the blurb sounded good. On the positive side, she is a good storyteller and the plot certainly kept me going right through a lazy Labour Day. I liked the descriptions of the Washington forest and felt like booking a holiday to go see giant
