Search - High Noon

Hostage negotiator has a stalker. What happens during the show down at High Noon? You'll have to read it to see, and you won't be sorry!

Loved this book! Adventure, mystery, love story and characters you'll love and think about long after you've finished the book. The kind of Nora Roberts I look forward to.

One of her best

I have read most, if not all, of Roberts' books, and this is one of the very best that I have read.

My first Nora Roberts book. I usually don't read books like this but I enjoyed this book.

FANTASTIC READ! Riveting! I found some similarities to JD Robb's Death series. After so far into novel... I could not put it down until the end.. this was even with having MS related visual challenges

I thought that this was a great book!

Police Lieutenant Phoebe MacNamara found her calling at an early age, when a violently unstable man broke into her family's home, trapping and terrorizing them for hours. Now she's Savannah's top hostage negotiator, who puts her life on the line every day to defuse powder-keg situations. Phoebe knows when to reach out and when to pull back---and when to jump in and take action, even if it means risking everything.

It's satisfying work---and sometimes those skills come in handy at home when Phoebe deals with her agoraphobic mother, still traumatized by the break-in after all these years, and her precocious seven-year-old daughter, Carly.

It's exactly that heady combination of steely courage and sensitivity that first attracts Duncan Swift to Phoebe. After watching her talk one of his employees off a roof ledge, he is committed to keeping this intriguing, take-charge woman in his life. Phoebe's used to working solo, but she's finding that no amount of negotiation can keep Duncan at arm's length.

When she's grabbed by a man who throws a hood over her head and brutally assaults her---in her own precinct house---Phoebe can't help being deeply shaken. And when threatening messages appear on her doorstep, she's not just alarmed but frustrated. How do you go face-to-face with an opponent who refuses to look you in the eye?

Now, with Duncan backing her up every step of the way, she must establish contact with the faceless tormentor who is determined to make her a hostage to fear---before she becomes the final showdown.

Excellent book! The plot kept me on my toes and reading more.

One of her better books - really holds your interest.

Another great one from Nora Roberts. It is a twist on a policewoman and her family. Not just a romance, but a mystery. In a way like her In Death series. Loved it!!!

Great read! Strong, likeable characters.. My favorite Nora Roberts book so far!
