He intends to do some recuperating of his own up there, hopefully away from gossips and prying eyes, in the comfort of the familial and familiar – his marriage had been a disaster, particularly near the end, but he was still grieving the loss of both his wife and his previous life, and attempting to move forward on a new goal (becoming an author). The first, Whiskey Beach, was published just last year, so I’m not even that far behind! Whiskey Beach tells the story of Boston attorney Eli Landon, who – accused but never charged with the murder of his wife – has come to his grandmother’s stately home on the North Shore of Massachusetts while she’s in rehab, recuperating from a fall down the stairs. Still, it’s been a while since I’ve read any newer Roberts books, since I tend to turn to old favorites (or old favorite series) when I’m in search of brain candy, but two of her more recent books happened to fall into my lap in the past little while, so I’ve got them here to review. She’s still one of my go-to comfort reads: I’m not saying there isn’t a formula (because isn’t there a formula for MOST book-types?), I’m saying that knowing the formula, expecting and appreciating it are things my brain craves when it can make sense of very little else.

At one point – back when said board, ADWOFF, was in full swing, I probably didn’t go a day or two without reading or writing or talking about something Nora-related.

And by “pretty big fan,” you can take that to mean that I may have joined her bulletin boards back in the day, and I may be able to quote scenes from some of my favorite books, and there may be an awful lot of ‘R’ related shelves in my library.

I will admit to being a pretty big fan of the author Nora Roberts.
