3 1/2 stars for me

Nora Roberts writes with ease and confidence. Her prose is always lucid and her plots are credible. Characterization is one of Nora's strengths, with people being revealed rather than described, thereby allowing the reader to engage the text with greater intimacy. This aspect of her writing was recently discussed during an interview with David Letterman on the 'Tonight Show', and at the conclusion of the interview, Letterman's side-kick, Paul Shaffer, screamed out at the top of his voice, 'Hey Nora! I engaged the enemy 20 years ago. Then I married her.' To her credit, Ms Roberts ignored the buffoon's comments and maintained a dignified, Harpo Marx-like silence, concluding the interview with a honk of her bicycle horn. It was a telling moment.

First book gets 2 stars, Second book 4 stars

In Engaging The Enemy, this is a reprint of two previously published Nora Roberts books. The first, A Will and A Way, was disappointing. It was dated, the heroine was striving to be independent but I found her annoying, the chemistry was forced, the characters reactions to adversity seemed unnatural... and did I mention the two people that fall in love are COUSINS? Distant cousins, but I don't like the idea of two people being brought together by a mutual relative's will any more than meeting at a family reunion. It just didn't sit well. My suggestion - skip the first story. Its a waste. The second, Boundry Lines, was a much better read. Again we have a strong heroine, but one that appeared to have genuine strength and be comfortable with it. The story was fun and fast paced and the hero is charming and sexy. So, two stars for the first book - four for the second - and overall rating of three.

Engaging redux!

Not until I was into this did I realize I had read it before. But it's still Nora and it was still entertaining.

A Will and a Way was entertaining but Boundary Lines was fascinating in that I think Nora was practicing for her ".....In Death" series. Some of the dialogue between Jillian and Aaron was quite the same as some of the interchange between Eve and Roarke. I loved it anyway!!! It's an addition to my collection.

ENGAGING THE ENEMY

THE BOOK ITSELF WAS QUITE "ENGAGING" AND HELD MY ATTENTION TO THE END. I JUST LOVE THE WAY NORA ROBERTS HOLDS YOUR ATTENTION TO THE VERY END.

Between a Five and a One

I've read just about everything Nora Roberts has written. Unfortunately, I get so excited when I see a "new" Nora Roberts' novel that I often end up with re-packaged, re-done, re-printed versions of novels I've already read. This is one of them! Some people are blaming this on the author's greed to make more money off the re-released novels. However, Nora herself is evidently upset by this re-hashing...because she now has her publisher put an NR emblem on NEW releases. So...look for the emblem, and you'll know it's just been released for the very first time! Of course, a Nora Roberts re-issue is very often much better than anything new from someone else! I give the five to the original novel and a one to the publishers for re-packaging it! Nora...please keep the new ones coming!

Sometimes the last man on earth you'd ever want turns out to be the very one your heart secretly yearns for . . .

Engaging the Enemy

Two complete novels by #1 New York Times bestselling author NORA ROBERTS

A Will and a Way: It wasn't easy living with her infuriating co-beneficiary, Michael Donohue -- even to fulfill her uncle's last wishes -- but headstrong Pandora McVie found it still harder not falling in love with her nemesis.

Boundary Lines: Feisty Jillian Baron and irresistibly arrogant Aaron Murdock seemed determined to carry their families' feud into another generation. But the battle waged within their own hearts pitted their mistrust against overwhelming desire.
