About Nora Roberts

Author, Nora Roberts was born Eleanor Marie Robertson, on October 10, 1950 in Silver Spring, Maryland. For more than three decades Roberts has published more than 200 titles in the romantic novel category. She wrote her first story during the blizzard of 1979, when she was snowed in at her home. The first novel, Irish Thoroughbred, was published just two years later. Then, the next two years brought 23 more published novels, and she finally caught the public's eye in 1985. That last novel, "Playing the Odds" gave Roberts a "fan favorite" status and transformed the romance novel category.

Roberts has two sons by her first marriage, and married her second husband, Bruce Wilder, in 1985. From 1991 to 2001, all 68 novels she published made it onto the New York Times best seller list. In 2000 alone she had 13 best sellers, several making it into number one. She also writes futuristic romantic suspense under the pen name of J.D. Robb. Many of her novels have been adapted into TV movies. She was inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame on 1986. She currently owns the Inn at BoonsBoro in Boonsboro, Maryland. The suites are each inspired by and for romantic couples from books. FYI......she has a fear of flying and is an ardent baseball fan.

Goodreads review by Bridget on February 18, 2011

I am not going to review every Nora Roberts book that I have read in the past because she is quite prolific and it would get redundant and I honestly cannot remember all the plots. I think someone finds someone else attractive but at least one cannot admit it so there is sexual tension, then lots of......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on June 05, 2017

Ok, so I used to really enjoy reading romance novels when I was a teenager. I found this book in the teacher's lounge and figured, "What the heck?". So I started reading it, and quickly realized how absurdly ridiculous these books are and especially the gender roles of the 80's (which seem to be ver......more

Goodreads review by Taylor (BiblioTay) on October 25, 2018

Serena's story I liked. Not spectacular but I enjoyed the story. Caine's story was the most cringe worthy story I've read in a while. I liked the characters and the plot wasn't bad but there were events and descriptions that just... I cant even find the words. Non-spoiler example. When Caine first s......more
