Nora Roberts does it again. She has a way of creating characters that grip you and pull you through until the end. She writes great mysteries and I look forward to her next release. She will stay an automatic buy.

DNF

30% in and bored out of my mind, between the mundane details, receptiveness, and lack of any kind of chemistry between all the characters.

This was a quick and easy romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. Typical of Nora Roberts books it was easy to fall in love with the characters and their story

She does it again. Loved this book. You will not be disappointed. You will fall in love with the main characters.

I just adore Nora Roberts and this book is case in point. Her writing just sucks you in and doesn’t let go until she’s done. Such a great read!

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read Legacy. Legacy is another hit by Nora Roberts. This is the story of strength and resilience with a good mystery thrown in. The heart of Nora Roberts writing however is family. Both the one were born into and the family we make for ourselves. This is a book you don't want to miss.

As a long time, reader of Nora Roberts, this was not one of my favorite books of hers. The story was good, but I feel like the book was so jam-packed covering to many years that it felt a little disjointed while reading it. The story was a fast read with a bit of thriller vibes thrown in. Anyone who enjoys Nora Roberts will still enjoy the story.

A captivating read that keeps you eagerly flipping pages. The characters are exceptional, and the book seamlessly blends elements of romance, mystery, and thriller into one compelling story.

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press and author Nora Roberts for the opportunity to review the advance copy of this book.

I’ve been a fan of Nora Roberts for many years. I haven’t t read one of her books in awhile and I’m so glad I read this one.

This story is filled with great characters, challenging moments ,suspense/mystery and so much love.

Great read.

I cut my romance teeth on Nora Roberts' books, so reading a new romance from Ms. Roberts feels like a warm hug. However, LEGACY felt different from her other romance novels, in that this book felt like a contemporary with romantic suspense elements.

I was really drawn in by our heroine, Adrian. She has had to overcome so much in such a short amount of time, though retained her charm and assertiveness. It was interesting how Adrian channeled her mother's fitness influencer persona - before the term influencer gained popularity - into her own. To be honest, I was much more interested in reading about Adrian's growth than I was in the romance between Adrian and Raylan, her childhood crush. I was a little disappointed that I didn't feel their sparks fly off the page like I would in other Nora Roberts' books. Despite this, I enjoyed the secondary cast of friends and family.

Long-time fans of Ms. Roberts will likely enjoy this book. For the newer fans, this book may be a hit or a miss.

I love Nora Roberts books and this story did not disappoint. Love the mystery, the character development and storyline. Adrian and Raylan with their long time coming romance, and the The complicated relationship between Adrian and her mother Lina were great!

Legacy by Nora Roberts is a thrilling romantic suspense novel that follows the story of Adrian Rizzo, a successful artist who is forced to confront her past and the secrets that her family has been keeping from her.

Nora Roberts does an excellent job of creating a fast-paced and suspenseful plot that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The characters are also well-developed, with Adrian being a particularly strong and independent protagonist who is both smart and resourceful.

The romance between Adrian and her love interest, Raylan, is also well-written, with just the right amount of chemistry and tension to keep readers invested. The plot twists and turns, keeping readers guessing until the very end.

Overall, Legacy is an excellent read that is sure to appeal to fans of romantic suspense. The book is well-written, with a thrilling plot and strong characters that readers will root for. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fast-paced and romantic read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher.

I always enjoy Nora's books and this one was no exception.

A few things that bothered me that was on one page Adrian is 7 and the next 17 and then she's a senior in h.s. And then she's a senior in college. I know you can't put every detail into a book, but let her have a childhood. I would have like to see the in between years. She grew up too fast literally.
One page was 4 years later which happened with another character. Now that's a little too far into the future.

Adrian was ambitious as her mother Lina with her yoga and exercise videos and at a very young age when she was in h.s.

I enjoyed all of the other characters and how they linked to one another both in NY and then in MD.

Multiple layers in this book. There were some terrifying moments too.

I have read everything Nora Roberts has published. Including J.D Robb Eve Dallas series. She never disappoints!

It’s Nora Roberts so even when it’s not great it’s still pretty good. For me, this one felt a little over packed but still enjoyable.

As only Nora can, you are hooked from page one. You become quciky investied in a lttle girl who is transplanted to a safe place and grows up with safety around her. Then, once he gains popularity, the danger begins. Threatening rhymes, menacing intent and the all too familiar brush off that it's nothing serious. Then, the murdering starts. Things are serious now, and I was rooting for all to end well. Does it?! THIS IS A MUST READ! ☆☆☆☆☆

I have not read a ton of Nora Roberts, but I was offered an advanced readers copy of this book and I finally got around to reading it. I ended up really enjoying it. It had the romance you'd expect but a some aspects of a thriller which of course I love.

I recommend this one from Nora Roberts as a lighter thriller if you've just read something heavy (which I had).

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for an advanced readers copy of this book for my honest review.

I received a complimentary digital copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley. This review is my voluntary and unbiased opinion.

“power to do good, is the true and lawful end of aspiring.” Sir Francis Bacon

A tumultuous and disturbing story about unconventional families and struggles to maintain safety and resilience. It might be a trigger for those sensitive to stories involving domestic abuse, serial killers and mass shootings.

“Some people leave a legacy of goodness behind them.”

In Georgetown, Adrian Rizzo has only known an unconventional family environment moving several times since age 7 with her mother, Lina Rizzo and her friend, Mimi. They have lived in LA, Chicago or Miami where she was homeschooled by Mimi as Lina focused on building her company, Yoga Baby. Everything changed the day Jon Bennett barged into their house, beat Mimi, grabbed Adrian and began beating Lina. Jon had taught English literature at Georgetown University until a reporter exposed his affair with Lina. It was this fatal night as he toppled over the railing that Adrian learned that the angry man was her father.

Lina developed a successful career in fitness, yoga, and healthy lifestyle. She was raised in rural Travelers Creek where her parents Sophia and Dom run a restaurant, Rizzo Italian Restaurant. Adrian spent most summers with her grandparents as her mother traveled promoting her business. It was during that time she met 7 year old Maya and her friend Cassie and Maya’s older brother Rylan, 10. Jan Wells worked as a cook for Rizzo's Restaurant after her husband left her to raise Rylan and Maya alone.

As the years pass, Adrian seems to follow in the path of her mother developing yoga videos for kids. She moves to NY where she meets friends who help her with her ambitious campaign to be as successful as her mother. Unfortunately, the independent teen soon becomes the target of a stalker after appearing on magazine covers with the success of her business growing. Adrian has legitimate reason to worry as she begins receiving creepy poems and senses her life is in danger.

Although there is a backdrop of suspense and danger, several characters exhibit extraordinary strength and courage with their sacrifices and acts of bravery.

While this book wasn't my favorite of the author's, I would still consider it an enjoyable read. This is a thicker book but it read fairly quickly. Looking forward to more from this author.

Adrian Rizzo was almost killed by her father when she was seven. Her mother Lina protected her, going so far as to leave her with her grandparents for an extended visit. As an adult, with a successful business that she started in her teens, Adrian continued to enjoy the visits, meeting up with childhood friends. Plagued by letters from a mystery writer for years, will Adrian's decision to stay in the country put her loved ones at risk?

With Nora Roberts books, what you see is usually what you get. The suspense thriller aspects are good, but too predictable. The romance angle is typically straightforward and what one might expect.

I personally thought that the side plot regarding the mystery letter writer went on entirely too long. Regarding the romance, it was forshadowed so long that the eventual relationship was almost an afterthought. Readers who like Nora Roberts, especially the romance angle, will enjoy this quick read, but I would not recommend it for readers of suspense thrillers.
