Rating: 4Hidden Riches by Nora RobertsDora Conroy owns an antique shop but others break in. Ex police captain, Jed Skinerhorn, has had to leave the family house-it holds too many memories.The shop is a magnet for trouble because of the shipment that she ordered. Smugglers have put other items inside the trinkets.Hot steamy sex scenes add to this story. Love where the clues lead them to.Lives are lost and they gather to combine forces to fight them together.The one who hired the man to get the items learns of others who are protecting her.Love hearing of the play and theater and the museum where all the collection is held.Love how SING is used in this one!I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
Rating: 4I always enjoy Nora Roberts' books. This one centers around an endearing antiques dealer named Dora who inadvertently buys smuggled goods at auction.
Rating: 4Really loved this one. A very likable heroine, a great romance and a lot of great and funny side characters. The suspense part was also good. I am not a real Nora Roberts fan, but this was a very good and entertaining read.
Rating: 5Review for the abridged audio CD read by Sandra Burr.I'm a bit surprised to find this book so highly praised on Amazon.co.uk; I found it a bit violent and very cheesy. I was listening to the abridged audio CD, perhaps it was not particularly well abridged, but I don't think that could have drastically altered the story-line. The ending was so predictable and the means of getting there not very inspiring. I have listened to one other Roberts, Midnight Bayou, also an abridged audio CD, but definitely a more enjoyable listen.The story revolves around Dora, who purchases several items for her antiques shop from an auction, it turns out that they are wanted by a ruthless killer, for his personal collection. He will stop at nothing to retrieve them. Meanwhile the sexy hero, Jed, an ex-cop, moves into the spare appartment in Dora's block. They have a love/hate relationship as events progress towards a denouement, both with the crime and the romance.Easy listening for a long car journey but I'm undecided as to what I'm going to do with all the unread Nora Roberts books on my shelves.
