They’re turning one of her books, The Lost Husband, into a movie with Josh Duhamel too. That was the first I read from her, and I loved it!

@Kay I confess, Things You Save… is the only one by her that I have read.

I really would recommend reading The Lost Husband if you (or anyone) wants a good read about family, coming to terms with yourself, and a little romance (plus goats!!!)

Most definitely – @Marie! You will not be disappointed. All of her books are fantastic, but I’d start with either Maid for Love from the Gansett Island series, OR All You Need Is Love from the Green Mountain/ Butler Vermont series.

Huh. I don’t know many people who like both those authors, most NR fans I know can’t stand Nicholas Sparks, same as me lol.

I assume you’ve read all of Nora Roberts? Let me get my list lol. Do you like paranormal? Implied paranormal, because it’s got people with possibly magical powers, but nothing else paranormal? Historical?
