Book Description:
When the LUSITANIA sank, more than one thousand people died. One passenger, however, survived to become a changed man, giving up his life as a petty thief but keeping a small silver statue that would become a family heirloom to future generations.
Now, nearly a century later, that heirloom, one of a priceless, long-separated set of three, has been snatched away from the Sullivans. And Malachi, Gideon, and Rebecca Sullivan are determined to recover their great-great-grandfather's treasure, reunite the Three Fates, and make their fortune.
The quest will take them from their home in Ireland to Helsinki, Prague, and New York and introduce them to a formidable female professor whose knowledge of Greek mythology will aid them in their quest; to a daring exotic dancer who sees the Fates as her chance at a new life; and to a seductive security expert who knows how to play high-tech cat-and-mouse. And it will pit them in a suspenseful fight against an ambitious woman who will stop at nothing to acquire the Fates.
Fast-paced and full of the romance and passion, an unforgettable tale of luck, love, and the fateful decisions that shape our lives.

I really enjoyed this book. Liked it so much, I got it in hardback!

This is 1 story about 2 brothers and a sister and the figurines of the 3 fates. If you like Nora Roberts Trilogy Books, you will enjoy this one. It was like 3 books in 1. There was plenty of globe hopping from Ireland, to New York to Greece. Parts of the story are contrived, but you are so caught up in the story, you won't notice till much later on. Overall, it is definately a keeper.

I have been reading Nora Roberts for YEARS. I love her writing, all of it. There are some I like better than others but I always like the story.

Three Fates, in my opinion is BY FAR her best single title ever. It is lovely and funny and sad WOW! I just reread it for about the bazillionth time and it once again jumps out as my favorite.

I love her series and trilogies and have a few of them as my favs...but for single titles this one is it for me.

If you haven't read it yet, give yourself a treat and try it now. If you like Nora you will not be disappointed!!

Happy reading,
Karin M.

Nora Roberts does it again. Great suspense, love story of two brothers and a sister and a statue of great importance.

Typical Nora Roberts. If you love her stuff and haven't read this one, you'll enjoy it.

Mystery plus romance. Keeps you reading until very end for answers.

Acts of thievery ultimately lead to justice in the wildly prolific Roberts's latest romantic suspense novel. The little silver statues representing Greek mythology's Three Fates are an art collector's dream: they're extremely valuable individually, but priceless as a trio and legend has it that when put together, they endow their owner with power over destiny. When a German U-boat torpedoes the Lusitania in 1915, petty burglar Felix Greenfield is in the midst of purloining one of the Fates from a first-class stateroom. Felix survives the ship's sinking and vows to reform. Flash to the present, in which three of Felix's descendants calculating Malachi, slick Gideon and intelligent Rebecca Sullivan have just had their Fate stolen by Anita Gaye, a ruthless and menacing antiques dealer. Vowing to recover Felix's statue, the three siblings depart Ireland to search the globe, finding love along the way with a pan-phobic Greek scholar, a stripper and a security expert. Like the Three Fates, the six principals learn that they will only be powerful enough to defeat Anita if they can operate as a single unit. Though it's a slick, snappy read, this character-heavy sudser is far from Roberts's best. She uses the words "three" and "fate" so often that the repetition becomes comic, the siblings' exotic globe-trotting amounts to little more than location name-dropping and Anita, a villainess of Cruella de Vil proportions, is a caricature rather than a character. But Roberts has been so popular, and for so long, that her legion of fans will undoubtedly forgive her for this one while eagerly awaiting her next.
