All of them…? She is one of my absolute favorite authors! I have read and own every book she has written. Honestly, I do not have a favorite, but if forced to pick, it would be one of these: 7 Signs Trilogy, Cousins O’Dwyer Trilogy, or The Bride Quartet

The In Death series; she writes as J.D. Robb. Sci-fi/romance/murder mystery. Among the best I’ve ever read!

There is always romance. Sometimes it’s mixed with the supernatural, sometimes mystery/crime and some are straight up romance (The Bride Quartet). If you like more crime/murder related Nora also writes as J D Robb but they do still have romance in them

The first Nora Book I remember reading was Key of Light and the Key Trilogy is still one of my favourites

I started reading the first one thinking I wouldn’t like it. I was so wrong. I went right back to my friend’s house and grabbed her other 2 books in the series. It was very enjoyable.

@Pilon thank you I’ll check that one out too!

I hope I gave the right name of the trilogy. It has magic, time travel, vampires and dragons.

The first series I read a long time ago was Irish Born Trilogy and enjoyed it. Recently I enjoyed The Obsession. Good luck she has so many books.

The first novel I ever read of Nora’s was in the romance section – but it was sooooo much more. It was thrilling, sexy, romantic and it was the book that got me hooked. MONTANA SKY. The first series, again in the romance section but still the old time story of Good VS Evil was the DANCE ON AIR series (SISTER ISLAND TRILOGY). Have fun. You are in for one hell of a ride – and worth every minute!
