Remember When (original 2003; edition 2004)

Two books in one. But an interestion adddition to the series ( )

This is one of my favorite J.D. Robb stories thus far. Mostly because I have a soft spot for antiques and quiet love. Highly recommended that you read the "In Death" series at least until this short story point, but don't skimp: read this full "Nora Roberts" story... it's a brain treat. ( )

Audiobook. This was actually 2 books in one. I loved getting to know the past story and then having it brought into the future to tie in with Eve and Rourke. Once again the narrator did a fantastic job with the voice acting. I love listening to this series. Will definitely continue. ( )

Laine Tavish is an ordinary woman living an ordinary life in the small town of Angel's Gap, Maryland, as the proprietor of Remember When, an antique treasures and gift shop. At least, that's what everyone in Angel's Gap thinks. They have no idea that she used to be Elaine O'Hara, daughter of the notorious con man Big Jack O'Hara. Or that she grew up moving from place to place, one step ahead of the law . . .

Laine's past has just caught up with her, though—in a very dramatic way. Her long-lost uncle suddenly turned up in her shop, leaving only a cryptic warning before dying in the street, run down by a car. Soon afterward, her home is ransacked. Now it's up to Laine, and a sexy stranger named Max Gannon, to find out who's chasing her, and why.

The answer lies in a hidden fortune-a fortune that will change not only Laine's life but also the lives of future generations. And danger and death will surround that fortune for years to come. Until New York City detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas gets on the case.

A thrill-ride of a novel that blends present-day romance and futuristic suspense, Remember When is a tale of deceit and secrets, of strong women and fascinating men-a brilliant combination of the incomparable talents of the two sides of Nora Roberts. ( )

This was my firts exposure to the In Death Series. I went back to read book one of the series and have read all the books to date. I love this series because of it's easy to read style. I really enjoy the crime and investigation parts of the book best. As for the development of the main characters, Roarke and Eve, I think Nora is pretty stuck until she introduces a kid into the picture, or some other life changing event. Afterall, there are only so many sex scenes and self revelations that can be made in every book in the series. Overall, great series when I need something mindless for a while. ( )
