 Liked the Characters but it wasn't Nora's best!! November 2, 2008
I like Nora Roberts, I did enjoy the characters though it was very predictable. Not one of her best at all, but I will still pick up a book of hers to read regardless. Less just hope the next book I cannot put the book down!
 Child Star Comes Home October 30, 2008

From Hollywood to the Shenandoah Valley, Cilla McGowan, former child star, returns to her former movie star grandmother, Janet Hardy's, "Little Farm" in Virgina. All too soon she finds out that someone holds a vendetta against her now deceased grandmother and is taking it out on Cilla. She has returned "home" to pay tribute to her grandmother's old and battered farm and make it her own. Having a background in flipping houses, Cilla sees this old house and its surrounding property being restored and making it her own, however, someone else wants her back in Hollywood. Nora once again weaves a beautiful and suspenseful story. The description of the "Little Farm" and the work that Cilla puts into it is so clearly visualized to the reader, that you can almost see the home being restored. The climax to the mystery will take you by surprise, however, the book keeps moving from the very beginning, never slacking, as our heroine has flashbacks and dreams of her famous grandmother and days gone by. Ford Sawyer, her graphic artist neighbor and Cilla McGowan are an intriguing duo. I really enjoyed Cilla's mom, Dilly, and her Beverly Hills drama; it brought some very well-done comic relief to a serious story. Cilla's bonding with her estranged father was nothing less than heartwarming and played out in a very realistic manner. "Tribute" is a compliment to Nora Roberts and a gift to her readers.

This is another in a long line of excellent stories by Nora Roberts.
Can't say enough about her abilities as the best story teller of our time! Recomend this book to everyone who enjoys a good read. AAAAA!
 Trite, uninspired, bland, dull, and predictable! October 16, 2008

I normally enjoy Nora Robert's books and was looking forward to reading this one. Unfortunately, this was very disappointing. First, the lead female character flips houses and I think 50% of the book was devoted to a discussion on how she is rehabing the house. In GREAT detail. It was almost to the level of a how-to book. Second, the two lead characters were both formulaic, boring, and perfect. The female was predictably "finding herself" while the male lead was the perfect, understanding, funny, and patient mate. The dialogue was boring, rehearsed, trite, and WAY too witty. Absolutely unrealistic. I found myself skipping through pages near the end, which is normally the best part of the book. The climax was predictable and formulaic. I was very disappointed and unfortunately felt like I wasted my time reading this book. I never feel this way reading books. I hope she changes her style, focusing on quality instead of quantity. I look forward to better books by her in the future.
