Search - Carnal Innocence

This book is in my top 10 best books I have ever read. I am not a big Nora Roberts fan I'm sorry to say and I have been upset that I have not liked any of her other books as much as I have loved this one. I want to buy this in hard cover one day so I always have it. I read it at least once a year! Tucker is always waiting for me. lol

Loved this book! Nora gets the atmosphere in a small southern town exactly right - and of course, the imagery is perfect, as always. I swear, the humidity rose off the page to frizz my hair! (OK, that could've also been because I didn't use any conditioner...) You have a murderer (what else?) on the loose, a concert violinist who settles into her grandmother's old house - partly to get away from her control freak mother; and a son of the local owns-half-the-town, been-there-forever family who is not only supremely hot, but also the number-one suspect (according to the FBI agent brought in from out of town to help solve the murders - and who also just happens to have the hots for our lovely violinist). Of course, it's all wrapped up in a great love story, with a twist at the end. Fabulous!

Raunchy, raunchy, raunchy. Too many characters with similar names; not enough character development in even the main characters. I couldn't read past chapter 3. It was just too much disgusting sex, bad talk, and no character development. I normally like Nora Roberts, but not this one.

Another great Nora Roberts book. A little much on the sex stuff, but otherwise a great read.

I truly do enjoy Nora Roberts books, however this one is more like her JD Robb releases.

great murder mystery
