His Only Son (Harlequin Intrigue, No. 535)

Summary: His Only Son
Review: "His Only Son" is a book that combines strong emotion and a twisty mystery into a read that's not to be missed. The story of a man and woman united when his son turns out to be her kidnapped child, it not only is moving, but a real pageturner when it comes to the intrigue element. There is a lot that needs to happen to make the romance believable in a situation like this, and Roberts pulls it off with ease. The dialogue is great, with banter that's thankfully based on real emotion instead of sniping and innuendo. Parts of the story are so honest and raw they're almost painful to read, but in the end, the reading experience is much more rewarding because we've come through it all with the characters. The rest of the Landry brothers are introduced in subtle ways that indicate Ms. Roberts has some interesting tales in store for us. A red hot start for a series that finds this favorite author in top form.

(This is a repost of my review from October. I recently reread it and decided it certainly deserved that fifth star. I haven't always enjoyed her books, but this is one of her best. A must-read.)

Summary: The Landry Brothers
Review: I love books that continue a group of characters. Sometimes one book just wets your appetite and you wish the author had had time to get into everyone......This is the first of six brothers...and kept me "INTRIGUED"....looking forward to working thru the 6 brothers one at a time....only complaint...spread too far apart on the market....As an avid 6-10 books a week from paperback to hardcover...from romance to science fiction.....I hate waiting for long periods of time for followup books...

Summary: Brilliant and Suspenseful!
Review: This is such a great read. The mystery elements are great and the romance is even better. This is the perfect blend of romance and suspense. It is what every Intrigue should be. i've already read this 3 times and I look forward to rereading it in the future. This woman can tell a story. I can't wait to read the other Landry Brothers.

Summary: A grest start to a great new series
Review: This tale of parental devotion has lots of twists and turns. Sam Landry is to die for and if he's any example of the 7 Landry Brothers in this series, I can't wait for the other 6.

As always, Ms. Roberts' humor shines through and her dialogue is sheer perfection. That's what makes her characters and her stories so memorable.

I highly sugggest you order this and get in from the very beginning!

Summary: Kelsey Roberts is The Best!
Review: Whew! I just finished this book for the second time and I loved it as much as the first! Nobody tells a story like Kelsey Roberts. A wonderful mystery and love story that made me cry. Her internet sight says the third Landry book won't be out until December. Oh no! Guess that means I'll be rereading this one a bunch more times until then. Thanks for the great book.
