There are 2 romance stories a little far fetched, but pleasant reading.
Home for Christmas
Jason Law returns home for Christmas to find his first love Faith Kirkpatrick with a 9 year old daughter, he walked out of her life 10 years before to start a better life for himself. Since Jason walked out on her, she got married and divorced. Jason was back in town to win her back after all these years.
I guessed what the ending of the book would be after the first few pages, it was very predictable, regarding Faith and her daughter.
All I want for Christmas
Zeke and Zach who are twins wanted a mom for Christmas, that is all they wished for, there is a new music teacher who teaches them music at school, and Nell was exactly what the boys wanted as a mom. There father Mac was not willing to risk his own heart, even though Nell gets on very well with the twins and with Mac after the first coolness on his part. Will the twins get what they want for Christmas.
I love reading Nora Roberts books, but would not pay the full price for this one, thank goodness I got the book from a Charity Shop and only paid 75p.

The Gift
7 Dec 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I just finished "The Gift" and knew they were dated and must be re-issues but since I had never read them before, that part was okay. The first story "Home for Christmas" was all pretty predictable. There could have been a lot more to this one. I liked all the characters but it was really just too short. It just ended and I would have liked to have seen Clara's reaction to knowing her real father. Then the second story: the only saving grace in this one are the twins. I couldn't get into liking Nell or Mac either one. They fight-have sex-fight some more and then it ends! Gabriel's Angel is worth buying the book. There is some depth to this story. However, I kept thinking why don't they talk about what is bothering them instead of it going on and on with their thoughts of each other but each afraid to share their feelings. I was thinking they both needed therapy but finally got it all solved. The book is okay; just not great!

The 4 stars are for the cute stories, NOT her recipes
14 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
I don't know why people are making such an issue about the fact that these are republications of her older works. It's pretty obvious, especially since her publishers have pretty much made a hefty profit from doing it with so many of her other silhouette books. I actually bought this a couple of years ago from CVS and to tell you the truth I just loved the cover. It's so gorgeous and glittery. Then I looked inside and found recipes and cute little stories. I didn't read all 3 stories at once. They're also very predictable, but they're also pretty short and nicely written so no harm done. I have one piece of advice: DO NOT TRY HER RECIPES!!! The pancakes are absolutely horrendous, very old fashioned which usually means zero taste and heavy, not fluffy. The cookies are a little tasteless, but they work well if you intend to spread icing on them for decoration; that way they don't end up too sweet and overpowering. I don't even like the look of bread pudding and I honestly wasn't about to try hers if she can't even give a good recipe for pancakes. Overall, I'd advise her to stick to writing and don't try to share her recipes. They're for people with an acquired taste meaning they're for people that live in log cabins and haven't deviated from their family recipes for the past 80 years. Search on allrecipes if you're really in the need for a recipe, don't rely on this book.

Classic Nora That Touches Your Spirit
2 Nov 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The other reviewer might be upset that this is older material, but I discovered Nora this year. Since January I've bought and read about 60 Nora Roberts. This is classic, perfect Nora Roberts.
I started reading this book in the morning and had it finished by lunch. It is a wonderful, holiday read. If you believe that the spirit of Christmas is alive and well, Nora captures just a brief hint of that spirit and shares it with her readers in "The Gift".
Even if you've read the stories before, read them again under one cover. With a tear or two in your eyes, you will be glad you did.
