Are You Ready for Your Holiday Getaway?

It is time for another Nora Robert’s adventure in Come Sundown.  This time readers visit the Bodine Ranch and Resort in Montana.  We meet the Longbow family  who work  both ranch and resort.  Bodine runs the resort while her father runs the ranch.  There is a dark secret that could impact her family, and bring back a missing relative.

Synopsis:

Alice Bodine wants to go home until she meets her worst nightmare.  He goes by the name Sir.  Alice thought she was getting a ride to come home and instead ended up in a prison where her capture Sir abuses and forces her to have his children.

 Meanwhile on the ranch in the present Bodine is busy running the ranch resort and meeting new hires.  Business is good especially when Callen comes back to town to work for the family. He is an old family friend who fits in easily and is very helpful at the ranch and the resort.  Callen also has a very special horse.   When women start disappearing will Bodine be next on their list?  What happens when Alice reappears?

My Thoughts:

I enjoyed this novel. Nora Roberts does a great job with world building in creating a setting, for her stories.  She creates memorable strong characters such as Bodine Longbow.   Her romance with Callen is great but not the major part of the story.  I loved Callen’s horse!  I was totally creeped out by Sir and felt for Alice’s circumstances.

Come Sundown came with high recommendations!   I did not love the length of the novel, and felt that in the future that I would have enjoyed the novel more as an audiobook.  I always love visiting Nora’s world and look forward to her next novel.    

Rating:


4/5

Her current novel is Year One and can be purchased here.

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
