Summary: Good, solid love story
Review: This is one of the best of Nora's. It's a love story featuring Maddy O'Hurley, a talented Broadway actress, and Reed Valentine, high-powered executive, whose company is backing the musical Maddy is starring in. The attraction between them is immediate and strong, but there are risks. Reed's past throws shadows over any possibilities of happiness for them. The plot is well-crafted with realistic contemporary characters. You won't want to put it down. I didn't

Summary: A fine romance
Review: This was the first of the O'Hurley series that I read, because it is almost impossible to tell which one goes first! (FYI, for those who like to read things in order, I have now learned that "The Last Honest Woman" comes first, then this book, then "Skin Deep", and last, I think, is "Without a Trace".) That said, this book was very enjoyable. Maddy, the "youngest" of the O'Hurley Triplets, is a dancer by profession and by nature. She has grown up in the theater and knows nothing about hiding her emotions or her feelings -- they are meant to be acted upon! When she meets Reed Valentine and almost immediately falls in love with him, she must learn how to deal with someone who is less forthcoming than herself, and who may never be able to love her the way she does him. Well, this is a Nora Roberts romance, so we know she'll eventually succeed, but the book was very entertaining and enjoyable in getting to that point. The theater was vividly described, and the primary characters were very sympathetic. Also I especially liked the character of Edwin, Reed's father. This is a quick read but a good one!

Summary: Maybe I have to read it again....
Review: When I read the premise to this book I tracked it down and HAD to read it. I love any romance that has to do with Dance and I was excited. However I was sorely dissappointed which didn't surprise me because I am not a Nora Roberts fan. I think her female charcters are ALL THE SAME (pushy, arrogant and over-confident, not humble and think they have no flaws whatsoever.) What dissappointed me most about this story was the lack of chemistry between the two characters. Acutally Maddy was somewhat likeable but Reed was dead from the neck up. He came across like a robot. He was "pulled" to Maddy but I had no idea why! I had no idea why Maddy was even attracted to him!! Maybe she wanted a sugar daddy because she knew she couldn't dance to the piper all her life. The conflict in this story was boring. As a matter of fact the last 8 pages of the books were WONDERFUL because of the high drama. Nice climax and I was pulled into the story at this point but unfortunately it ended.
