Unfinished Business is the first of three stories in this Nora Roberts omnibus that I am currently reading.As I have already said, I'm not much of a romance reader, but it was sitting there asking to be read, so I picked it up. I enjoyed the story, not enough to reread, but it was a nice light afternoon sit-down. For me personally, I liked the push and pull relationship of the main character, Vanessa Sexton, and her book beau, Brady Tucker.

Good, read in May 2006

I'd break down the rating of this omnibus this way:

Unfinished Business 4 stars
Island of Flowers 2 1/2 stars
Mind Over Matter 4 1/2 stars

so I gave the whole 4 stars. Island of Flowers was ok, but not enjoyable enough to reread (one of my main standards for judging). I loved Mind Over Matter, with its paranormal element. And after reading a large number of Nora Robert's romances in the last month, I've found I appreciate the fact that so many of her characters inhabit the same world and show up as supporting characters or walk-ons in other books, so I was pleased when the main character of Unfinished Business visited Cordina. What makes Ms. Robert's stories for me are her characters and the humor found throughout, and overall, Going Home delivers. (

Innocent Laine Simmons hardly expected the father she barely knew to welcome her. However, she was completely unprepared for the suspicion of her father's sexy partner Dillon O'Brian -- or for his intense passion.
