Rating:  Summary: love this family Review: after reading all of the books about this family, i feel as though im part of it. this was a good book! i really like father/son secret as it explained a lot about his actions/reactions. until that point, i really didnt like this male persona. it was almost a first but once again, Ms. Roberts pulls it off ::smile
Rating:  Summary: A great book to read! Review: I found that I sat down with the book once, and I didn't want to put it down. I've read it 3 times so far, and I know I will read it many more. If you want a book that has a great storyline and characters, this is the book to read. Also, if you want to read about the rest of Maddy's family, (sisters and brother) you should read Without a Trace, The Last Honest Woman, and Skin Deep.

Rating:  Summary: A great read. Review: I loved the story of Maddy and Reed. It was heart warming and enjoyable to watch these to characters come together. Maddy is one of my favorite female characters because she has such a great personality. Read Trace's story, Without a Trace, for another great read.
Rating:  Summary: My husband felt neglected because I couldn't put it down. Review: I loved this book and the others about this family. I've never been much of a reader and Nora Roberts has changed that for me. If you are looking for a book to while away the hours this will do the job. I almost felt silly because at times you felt like crying when the characters cry. Isn't that what a book is susposed to do, take you into the lives of it's characters? Good job Nora - keep-um coming.
Rating:  Summary: My favorite Nora Roberts book Review: I loved this book. I've been reading Nora Roberts for a very short time but I've read over twenty of her novels thus far and this is the only one I've yet to get tired of (I read her books three or four times through, easily). I love the books that involve mystery and intrigue but, on the other hand, I gravitated toward this one because it was simply a woman and a man struggling to find happiness. I adored the Broadway setting and could easily picture myself there, I loved the contrast between Maddy and Reed and the realistic struggles within their relationship but, most of all, I loved the language Ms. Roberts used to weave the tale.
Rating:  Summary: i love this book I recommended it to anyone. Review: I thought that the storyline was great and I found Maddy to be absolutely charming and real.The chemistry between her and Reed is extraordinary.
Rating:  Summary: Dance for your supper, cry for your love.. Review: I wasn't all together thrilled by this book but it was good. I loved how Nora Roberts throws the readers into the world of dance...and she doesn't describe the dance moves but then again she does. She shows us that the world of dance is anything but glitter and glitz, it's hard work and long hours. It's your life. I liked the romance aspect of it, and I loved Take It Off, but Reed...damn. He was dead from the waist up. He never truly admits to loving Maddy till the end which is frustrating....and Maddy, who claims to be strong, turns into a weeping little kid the moment she "falls in love"...not to mention that what his mom did to him was exactly that...his mom. And he takes it out on the entire female race. Anway, good book but I wouldn't read it again. I love romance novels, but somehow, when I read the last page I was left feeling empty...to me, thats not a good sign. Read it, enjoy it, but don't expect Gone with the Wind kind of love..BW~
Rating:  Summary: Dance with joy as you read this book! Review: Nora Roberts is a romance writer who has the unique gift of being able to put her readers right between the pages of her books. In the case of Dance to the Piper, the reader feels as though they too are a dancer as a new show is about to open on Broadway. And as always with this author there is double the reading pleasure as there is also a delightful romance too.In the second book of the saga about the O'Hurley family, Ms. Roberts tells the story of the dancing O'Hurley daughter, Maddy. Preparing for a new show, Take It Off, this spirited young woman knows she cannot rest on accolades from her ;ast performances. She fully realizes that it will take both physical and mental strength to make a hit of this show and falling in love at this time is what she least expects to do. But fall in love she does as she meets and then pursues a principal investor of the show, Reed Valentine. I thought this book was a wonderful read. So adeptly does Ms. Roberts present the life of a Broadway dancer and star that I often wondered if she patterned this character after a real dancer she knows. I actually could see the dance numbers and feel the energy, to say nothing about how enjoyable was the romantic aspect. And as an extra benefit of this book the reader is introduced to Reed's charming father and spends more time with the other members of the O'Hurley family. I always think Nora Roberts's series books are her best and Dance to the Piper is another one of these which I highly recommend.
Rating:  Summary: This was my favorite of the four book series. Review: Nora Roberts is an excellent writer. I haven't read a book of hers yet that I didn't like.
