4.0 out of 5 stars A fine romance, June 12, 2000

This review is from: Dance To The Piper (The O'hurleys) (Paperback)

This was the first of the O'Hurley series that I read, because it is almost impossible to tell which one goes first! (FYI, for those who like to read things in order, I have now learned that "The Last Honest Woman" comes first, then this book, then "Skin Deep", and last, I think, is "Without a Trace".) That said, this book was very enjoyable. Maddy, the "youngest" of the O'Hurley Triplets, is a dancer by profession and by nature. She has grown up in the theater and knows nothing about hiding her emotions or her feelings -- they are meant to be acted upon! When she meets Reed Valentine and almost immediately falls in love with him, she must learn how to deal with someone who is less forthcoming than herself, and who may never be able to love her the way she does him.

Well, this is a Nora Roberts romance, so we know she'll eventually succeed, but the book was very entertaining and enjoyable in getting to that point. The theater was vividly described, and the primary characters were very sympathetic. Also I especially liked the character of Edwin, Reed's father. This is a quick read but a good one!

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Nora Roberts book, February 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dance To The Piper (The O'hurleys) (Paperback)

I loved this book. I've been reading Nora Roberts for a very short time but I've read over twenty of her novels thus far and this is the only one I've yet to get tired of (I read her books three or four times through, easily). I love the books that involve mystery and intrigue but, on the other hand, I gravitated toward this one because it was simply a woman and a man struggling to find happiness. I adored the Broadway setting and could easily picture myself there, I loved the contrast between Maddy and Reed and the realistic struggles within their relationship but, most of all, I loved the language Ms. Roberts used to weave the tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book to read!, May 10, 1998

I found that I sat down with the book once, and I didn't want to put it down. I've read it 3 times so far, and I know I will read it many more. If you want a book that has a great storyline and characters, this is the book to read. Also, if you want to read about the rest of Maddy's family, (sisters and brother) you should read Without a Trace, The Last Honest Woman, and Skin Deep.
