The four books in this series are fantastically done, I love the strength and love between all the brothers and how they deal with their problems. I've read this series countless times and keep going back to it. (

Nice, enjoyable book. Nice to read a book from a male point of view. (

Nora Roberts is an author I like but her books can tend to be pretty cookie cutter and similar. For me her books are the best when they are part of a series and have an interesting set of characters. This series is one of my favorites that she wrote because the story is engaging and the characters are intriguing. (

This isn't really a stand alone. It ends in the middle of things. Marked down a star because I can't get the rest of the trilogy. (
