Montana Sky from August 2007
If you've missed the Lifetime TV movie from a decade ago or want to relive the magic via the print version, Montana Sky took place on a Montana ranch. When Jack Mercy died, he left behind a ranch that was worth millions. With three previous marriages, three half-sisters who were unknown to each other and strangers for the reading of the will. In order for them to inherit their money, they were shocked to learn, they needed to live there for a year. For Tess, the screenwriter, who wanted to collect on the cash and get back to Hollywood, it was a nightmare. For Willa, who grew up on the ranch, it was an intrusion on her rightful home. For Lily, who escaped from an abusive ex-husband, it was a refuge. All three of them would later find out, they would each come across with a new love in their lives. They needed to live like a family, put their bitterness aside, and protect each other from danger, they needed to stop their enemy who wanted to destroy them all.
This was an amazing romantic suspense. The Montana ranch setting was perfect for the storyline. We do begin to care about the three half-sisters and how they found their own way for romance. Lily and Willa, I liked the best, while Tess, I wasn't so sure, not until the end. I didn't like Lily's ex. But I love their love matches throughout the story to give them a dose of romance. Great suspense to make you go ooo and ahh between page-turning gasps.

Blue Dahlia from May 2008
In Nora Roberts's Blue Dahlia, the first book in the In the Garden trilogy, she introduced to three women who came together to work in a garden nursery in rural Tennessee. First, there's Stella Rothchild, a recent young widow with two young sons have moved back to her hometown to be closer to her family. She met Roz Harper, who owned the Harper House and ran the flowery nursery. She wasn't intimated by her, since she tried to escape the ghosts of the past. As she settled down into her new life, she met expectant young mother Hayley and formed a friendship with her as with Roz. Later she met and fell in love with Logan Kittridge, the handsome landscaper. She couldn't help becoming attractive to him. But someone wasn't too happy with this coupling, the Harper Bride ghost. They've dug deep into the ghost past's of rage and heartbreak as she haunted Harper House.
I loved this contemporary romance that focused on three women who became fast friends. For starters, I cared for Stella's loss and her two sons. I loved how she bonded with Roz and Hayley. I didn't care for much with the Harper Bride in the beginning. I also loved the gardening theme. The Harper House and the greenhouse scenes were pretty much the favorites. I thought Logan was a hottie and a lucky guy. I was so glad he connected with Stella and her two young sons, too. They made an awesome couple. With one hooked reading, you'll want to read the others in the trilogy.

I loved the underwater photography scenic descriptions. I also loved the storyline of finding buried treasure. The pairing of Tate and Matthew was quite interesting, when they had to work together for a common goal. There was a lot going on over here. I couldn't find anything or anyone to hate in this one. This was a beautiful and touching romantic suspense.

It was up to them to prove there's a serial killer in their small town and stop him or her in the tracks, while the passion heat up for Reece and Brody, too.
This was a great romantic suspense by Nora Roberts. You really begin to feel strong real emotions for Reece, since she was dealt with such a plight. I didn't like the way they mistreated her or gaslight her either. But I loved the beautiful Wyoming scenery for a backdrop to paint the storyline. I loved how she and Brody came together to solve the murder and deal with their own feelings. Who would ever thought this would happen in a small picturesque town?

In the final installment of the Three Sisters Island trilogy, Face the Fire, from Nora Roberts, she built things up into a shocking conclusion. Mia Devlin knew about loving someone with her whole heart and watch them walk away--that's what happened to her true love, Sam Logan, who did that to her years ago.

For a confused Mia, Sam turned up the heat in her heart. While she needed his help and his powers, they needed him to join magical forces in their circle to face the fire and to break a century-old curse for a happy ending.
This was a nice conclusion to the trilogy. I loved Mia and her friends with the magical touch. I loved the concept of white magic of the wiccan craft. I loved the island as the backdrop as well. I liked how Sam wanted to win her back and to join forces with them. Somehow he made her thaw her iciness and to melt her heart. I couldn't find anything to detest with this romantic suspense.

Now years later, she was now an arson investigator and fascinated with fires. Someone chased her with horrific crimes and haunted by obscene phone calls. On the good side, Bo Goodnight helped her to find her stalker arsonist. He sought her for years and didn't want to let her go.
I loved the names of the characters of this romantic suspense. Bo Goodnight sounded hot to me for a fire fighter. I loved the concept of fire and arson and the trailing circle of fire around Reena. I liked the chemistry between Bo and Reena and the location it took place, too. I didn't like her arsonist stalker one bit. A lot of fast-paced burning action in this one. This would grip you after the first page.

So we watched her how to face an invisible monster and put together the pieces with Duncan at her side, before it would be high noon for both for them in the end.
This was an excellent romantic suspense. I loved the Georgia backdrop, especially of Tybee Island. I loved Phoebe's devotion to her daughter Carly and to her mother. I also liked she had a take charge role in the police department. I enjoyed Duncan's character, since he had such charisma. I didn't like how someone who wanted to hurt Phoebe and her family. The Duncan-Phoebe pairing had such chemistry to sizzle and scorch the page. Plenty of drama, great romance, and tons of non-stop action to keep you hooked.
