The Villa

A great book by Nora Roberts. All the elements that keep the reader interested & intrigued. Mystery, intrigue, romance, excitement, international travel. Just an amazing author. Thank you, Ms. Roberts.

Never read anything by Nora Roberts before, but this was recommended. The wine country setting and information is interesting but the characters are plastic and stereotypical. Frankly, all the characters are so contrived, high drama, sex-starved and dysfunctional that they are totally unlikable, I'm only half way through but I'm hoping most get killed off ... soon. I'm amazed that this soap opera of a book was published.

Strong characters in the setting of family winery in Calif and Italy. Good plot and you wish for a sequel. Learn a great deal about growing grapes and marketing. Lots of romance as well. Roberts writes well.

I just started listening to electronic books, so I did not know what to expect. The only complaint I had was the narrator... it took me a little while to like just one person speaking for all characters. Nice story line and it must have been good, because it is difficult to keep me wanting more when it comes to reading. If it does not catch me quickly, I lose interest. I give it 3 stars!!

This book was absolutely amazing!! Within the first 50 pages more than 10 characters were already introduced and their lifestyles outlined. It was quick, to the point, and everything was unraveled very quickly. The suspense and the romance was wonderful and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves a good book!
