This is one of my favorite Nora Roberts books. I recommend this novel to all contemporary romance lovers! I loved to hate Millicent.who makes my own paternal grandmother look like a saint. I enjoyed how Naomi and Kelsey started to become mother and in daughter - and their shared passion of horses. Her chemistry with Gabe is hot! Gabe on his own is very steamy indeed. Right from page one there is a great hook that keeps you until the last page. Just when things could not get any better there is a murder, an angry grandmother, another murder and secrets. Gabe also has a troubled past so she finds in him understanding and love. Also keeping her on the farm are the horses and neighbour, Gabe Slater. As she learns more about Naomi and the past she finds herself loving the mother that abandoned her. Some tension but Kelsey thinks there is more to the murder and wants to give Naomi a chance. Curiosity can't keep her away so she heads down to Naomi Chadwick's horse farm. After confronting her beloved father, Philip, she finds out that not only is her mother alive, but she was once in prison for murder. Kelsey Byden went to pick up her mail and was expecting divorce papers but instead finds a letter from her mother.who she thought was dead. A new book friend told me this is her favourite NR novel and I am happy to say it's on the favourites list for me too. With that in mind, I find that I am really enjoying the books. Now when I start a Nora Roberts (standalone) novel I go into the book with the mindset of this is a contemporary romance with a slight mystery in the background.
