Summary: The series continues!
Review: The Key Series is turning out to be something away from the ordinary from Nora Roberts. I feel that she is experimenting in new areas with new styles to keep her writing fresh and her fans hooked. I am enjoying this series.

Summary: Excellent second book in a great trilogy!
Review: I love this kind of book. Strong women, strong men who love them, a touch of the mystical, add a difficult quest, and bang, you have the makings of a great read, in my opinion. In this second in the Key trilogy, it is book-lover Dana's turn to find the mysterious key that will unlock the souls of the three lost princesses. Naturally she resembles one of the princesses in the series of paintings of them. And just as naturally she falls in love along the way and finds the key . . . . I love how the three main female characters continue to forge a strong relationship in this book, just as the three main men. I also love how they are working together not only to complete the quest, but also to create a new business and new lives for themselves. And never once does anyone whine about anything--I love that, too! I do not usually prefer books set in the modern day, but in Nora Roberts; case, I make exceptions. I have found that her work is hit or miss for me, I either love it or hate it. This series I love! And if you're like me, you will too. Do yourself a favor, buy Key of Valor at the same time so you can dive right into it when you're done. Buy a box of Godiva, put a fire in the fireplace and take a weekend for YOU!

Summary: Not a Nora Roberts book
Review: I am a huge Nora Roberts book and have read nearly everything she's written. This series does NOT read like it was written by Nora Roberts at all ... the writing styles are very different. I wouldn't be surprised if she used a ghost writer; there's just too much that doesn't seem like typical Roberts. The books themselves are OK, but not nearly as enjoyable as other Roberts' stuff. Stick to her earlier work.

Summary: Be Secure In The Knowledge: This Is An Excellent Book!!
Review: Key of Knowledge picks up right where part one (Key of Light) left off. In Nora Roberts excellent Celtic goddesses/lost souls/contemporary seekers trilogy, Malory, Dana, and Zoe are reuinited once again to continue the quest for the three keys to release three lookalike goddesses from their eternal prison. Part two is Dana's story; as with Malory, she has job issues (she is unfairly fired from her position at the library), and man issues (in the person of ex-lover, lifelong-friend, and soon-to-be Major Squeeze Jordan Hawke, the famous writer whose books she secretly reads with pride), not to mention dog issues (did you think Moe, the wonderdog who supplied so much humor and life to Key of Light, would be left out of the new volume? Heavens to Snoopy, No!!). Since she was a librarian and is soon to be a bookstore owner (in Indulgence, the delicious bookstore/beauty salon/art gallery the three women plan to open), it follows that writing and books should play a major role in her finding the Key of Knowledge. Oh, yes, Kane, the ultraegotistic supernatural villian, is back as well. This celestial scumbag has taken an oath to play by the rules; he soon breaks them by physically attacking Jordan. It will take the combined efforts of all three women, their men, plus Rowena and Pitt to overcome his snares in this installment. While this volume is a worthy successor to Key of Light, a few questionable choices make this installment less successful than it's predecessor. One: Dana is a little too quick to believe Kane and his illusions and thus doubt the sincerity of Jordan's love (at first, anyway). She knows Kane means to hurt her, why let him win? The second choice is harder to address without giving away too much of the plot; suffice it to say that Jordan, as a writer, should have more control over his own work at the story's climax. He created it, why shouldn't he be able to control every aspect of his book? Still, the genuine warmth and friendship between the three women, the strength and courage of their convictions, and the effective conclusion of this second installment will have you waiting anxiously for Key of Valor, Zoe's story and the final piece in the trilogy's puzzle. Read Key of Knowledge right away, secure that this book is indeed an excellent followup to Key of Light, and when you are finished, lose no time in starting Key of Valor at once. Magic, romance, and the friendship that only three incredible women can create await your immediate attention!!

Summary: Another keeper
Review: This 2nd book in the trilogy doesn't disappoint. Here we follow Dana and her quest for the key. I won't give the story away in spite of the fact it's rather predictable how it all turns out. The getting there is the fun part anyway. If you're anything like me, you'll cry and laugh right along with the characters. Enjoy!!

Summary: Actually 1 1/2 stars...better than the first
Review: What can I say? Slightly better than the first, still trite, still predictable...and geez, I was a Roberts groupie at one time. Suggest readers read the Born In series or Chesapeake trilogy. I'm halfway through Key of Valor. Most likeable female lead character out of the bunch.
