Book Description

June 5, 2001 Sacred Sins
5 CD's, 5 Hours 15 minutes
Performed by Carolyn McCormick

The steamy summer streets of Washington are no match for the phone lines of Fantasy, Inc., where every man's dreams
come true. The "hotline" works perfectly for its anonymous clients, and the teachers and housewifes who moonlight as call
girls...until a brilliant madman plugs in with twisted passion, tracks down "Desiree" and murders her.


A different kind of passion brings Grace McCabe and Ed Jackson together-a passion for each other...and for justice and
revenge. Grace, the bestselling mystery writer, is determined to trap her sister's killer, to bait him with the same seductive voice that triggered his deadly lust. Ed, the cop assigned to the case, knows he can't stop her, that he can only protect her.


Somewhere in the darkness, someone is waiting, listening for the voice that will bring him back to the scene of the crime
for one last thrill, promising ecstasy-and death.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Suspenseful, Satisfying Read, December 7, 2001
By 
"Brazen Virtue" is a great romantic suspense novel, written in true Nora Roberts style.
Grace is a successful murder mystery author who is looking for some peace and quiet after a stressful book tour. When Grace discovers that her usually straight-edge sister Kathleen is earning extra money as a phone sex operator she is concerned. But because of the company's strict anonymity policy, she figures that Kathleen will be perfectly safe. Unfortunately, she couldn't be more wrong, as she returns home one night to find her sister strangled with the phone cord. It seems as though Grace has walked right into one of her books, only this time she is the dazed survivor.
Detective Ed Jackson, Grace's new neighbour is assigned to the case. But he is having trouble concentrating on anything but his attraction to Grace and his desire to keep her safe. Grace is determined to avenge her sister's death, so she sets up a daring trap to lure the killer to her. Ed doesn't like the idea one bit, and is concerned for this feisty woman he has fallen in love with.
But neither Grace nor Ed knows that Grace's trap has already worked and that this brilliant madman has turned his obsession to her. As the killer closes in it will be up to Ed to put things together and get to Grace in time to save her life!
This is a thrilling and fast-paced read with a lovely romance added to the mix. Grace and Ed will charm readers with their endearing quirks and mannerisms. This is a follow-up to "Sacred Sins" although it can easily stand alone (I read this one first and had no trouble following). This is a wonderfully entertaining book and I have no doubt that you will enjoy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nora Roberts is a reader's dream!!!, August 23, 1999
By A Customer
"Brazen Virtue" was a great "love-mystery" mini-novel. I am used to reading Nora's romance stories, so this one threw me a bit. It was wonderful nonetheless. The sister of a murder victim helps her next door neighbor catch the criminal. I give it a thumb's up!!!!!

Also, try the Mackade Brothers' series.

4.0 out of 5 stars An avid reader of Nora Roberts, December 30, 1999
By A Customer
Brazen Virtue was one of the first books I read of Nora's in the 1980's, along with Hot Ice and Sacred Sins. I couldn't put it down. I love the way she protrays her characters and keep the action moving. Nora has only gotten better through the years. I have probably bought every book she has written, even under the name J.D.Robb, and I keep looking for more. I usually read her books in one or two nights and then wait expectantly for the next one. Keep on writing Nora, you will always have a buyer in me.
