Romance Homeport is the story of Miranda Jones, an expert in the field of art, who is called to Florence by her distant mother to authenticate a bronze, which might have been a lost piece done by Michelangelo. When the news of the piece is leaked to the press and it is proven to be a forgery, Miranda's mother fires her and sends her home to lick her wounds with her reputation in shambles. In steps Ryan Boldari, who is hired to steal another bronze from Miranda's home gallery outside Boston, but when it also turns about to be a fake, Ryan persuades Miranda to help him find the original in order to save both of their reputations. Homeport is an older story by Nora Roberts that proves to be an interesting mystery with escalating stakes and multiple suspects. The relationship between the two main characters is steamy and adds depth to the story. One problem with this book that has made it tough for me to get through in the past is the amount of technical detail relating to the authentication of art. It did prove Miranda's meticulous nature and knowledge of subject, but it also slowed the story in places, especially the first fifty or so pages of the book. Overall however, this story is an enjoyable, well-written read. Reads like an older Silhouette. This proper lady takes up with a thief without any moral qualms? People jetting back and forth to Europe and never suffer any jet lag or fatigue... They call Europe, and there is no problem with time difference...No background or character development on the H...Definitely an older book. One-time read I could have skipped, much as I like most of her books. no reviews | add a review
