I just finished reading Blue Smoke and was absolutely mesmerized. Blue Smoke takes you into the life of the herione from the time she is a little girl until she becomes a woman with a career and takes you along for a terrific ride right along with her family. I have read pretty much every one of Nora Roberts novels and watch the shelves for her latest novel. I highly recommend any novel that this author writes as she has yet to disappoint. Nora Roberts spins a tail that grabs you from the first page and makes you sad that you have finished the book and that is the sign of a good author. She always leaves you wanting more.
