I’ve never read a book by Nora Roberts before and was really happy to be given the opportunity to read her newest release.
The writing is descriptive and inviting you to read on and on for hours. The setting down in ‘Rendezvous Ridge’ in Tennessee sounded absolutely beautiful and ideallic, everyone was really relaxed, it sounded an amazing place where you could just chill out, especially in the summer months, sitting in a garden or park drinking some iced tea.
Shelby is a strong woman who is amazingly resourceful, determined yet sensitive and kind hearted. What she finds out about her recently deceased husband is truly shocking and the shocks don’t stop there. It is astounding hoew she copes with it and speaks volumes for her character that she is so straight headed and up beat about everything, but then she does have Callie to consider, she is a great mother.
As Shelby and Callie arrive back down south, there is a welcome back party which sounded so wonderful. Everyone was so wam and friendly, you really felt the atmosphere.
Shelby soon meets Griff who is beyond lovely. Charming and handsome but without being cocky. Perfection on a page. I loved how well he go on with Shelby’s young daughter, Callie, their scenes together were some of the best in the book, my favourite being the pizza parlour scene, it was so cute and funny.
As mentioned I have never read a book by Nora Roberts, but I will certainly look into her vast back catalogue now! Heart-warming with tension and a fantastic twist at the end, definitely a book you should add to your TBR pile!
