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.

4 Estrellas. Muy satisfecha, un libro muy Roberts, pero algo distinto a lo que nos suele dar. La ambientación muy peliculera, pero a la vez muy cuidada. No sabría decir si de los mejores que he leído. Nora Roberts toca todos los palos en sus novelas, no es solo que meta suspense y romance, si no que......more

Maybe it is because I'm a diver, maybe it is because I love the sea, but I loved, loved, loved this story! :)......more

Goodreads review by Georgina on May 09, 2010

My second Nora Roberts book and I loved it just as much as the first.

I liked both Matthew and Tate individually,......more
