High Noon
It's exactly that heady combination of steely courage and sensitivity that first attracts Duncan Swift to Phoebe. After observing her coax one of his employees down from a roof ledge, he is committed to keeping this intriguing, take-charge woman in his life. She's used to working solo, but Phoebe's discovering that no amount of negotiation can keep Duncan at arm's length.
And when she's grabbed by a man who throws a hood over her head and brutally assaults her-in her own precinct house-Phoebe can't help but be deeply shaken. Then threatening messages show up on her doorstep, and she's not just alarmed but frustrated. How do you go face-to-face with an opponent who refuses to look you in the eye?
Now, with Duncan backing her up every step of the way, she must establish contact with the faceless tormentor who is determined to make her a hostage to fear . . . before she becomes the final showdown.

Glad to get a hold of this one!
I have to say, I am a looooong time reader of Nora Roberts' work. For the last couple of years, her books have kind of taken a detour. Lots of those three in one books and some written in genres that I don't really care for. Not bad at all,...

Enjoyable, but she's written better
As always Nora Roberts writes an enjoyable novel with a strong, suspenseful plotline, good pacing, and a well developed cast of secondary characters. The main characters were likable and believable, with great chemistry. I do think it wasn't her...

Not her best
First I should say I've read this at least four times, and I still don't feel like I fully get it. Duncan seems like a nice guy, but his backstory came so late in the book that I almost missed it the first time. And as for the conflict Phoebe...

Pretty good but not her best work...
I liked the characters, especially Ma Bee and Duncan. Ma Bee understands Duncan like no other - the only mother figure he'd ever known. Duncan is a take charge kind of man, one who does what he wants when he wants, and pursues Phoebe like a...

Similar to Blue Smoke
I like Nora Roberts a lot, she's one of my favorite authors. She understands and knows how to write about family dynamics. I enjoyed the book, but found it pretty similar to Blue Smoke, which I enjoyed, as well. This one is not a keeper for me,...

WOW!!!
Anyone who associates Nora Roberts with simplistic Harlequin-style romances needs to read this book, which really showcases her true talent! I loved the complex character development, the twist and turns of the plot, the detective work, etc....

Not the usual fare
The thing that keeps me reading Nora Roberts novels is her sense of place, be it Alaska in winter, Louisiana, a Montana ranch, a reef in the West Indies, Ireland or an island off Cape Cod. She takes the reader to these places, and that's worth...
