Explanation To Books Northern Lights
Let #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts fly you into Lunacy, Alaska, and into a colorful, compelling novel about two lonely souls who are searching for love and redemption...As a Baltimore cop, Nate Burke watched his partner die on the street—and the guilt still haunts him. With nowhere else to go, he accepted the job as Chief of Police in a tiny, remote Alaskan town with the hopes of starting over. Despite the name, Lunacy provides a balm for Nate's shattered soul—and an unexpected affair with pilot Meg Galloway warms his nights...
But other things in Lunacy are heating up. Nate suspects the killer in an unsolved murder still walks the snowy streets. His investigation will unearth the secrets and suspicions that lurk beneath the placid surface, as well as bring out the big-city survival instincts that made him a cop in the first place. And his discovery will threaten the new life—and the new love—that he has finally found for himself.

I don't like to give bad reviews, but sorry, Nora really missed it with this one. As an Alaskan woman, I was offended by her portrayal of Alaskan women. The only character in the book I liked was her hero. Every other character came across as stupid, slutty, selfish, greedy, or a combination of all the above, and it didn't matter if it were the men or the women.I once read a reader review in which the reader gushed about how she now knew what Alaska was really like. Well, that was Alaska in
bUdDy rEaD wItH mY BeLgIuM wAfFlEThis was slow, but I've read books that are slower. Loved the journal entries the most, and everything how Alaska was described, especially because I have always wanted to go and see it. The main hero was perfect, tortured soul, but NORMAL!!! Didn't like the main heroine till almost the end. Started to like her when she started to act more ... let's say tender.Wish I could say it gripped me, but sadly it didn't. I would even love it more without romance in it,
This is an oldie but goodie if you are a Nora Robert's old school fan. I haven't read this one in forever, but was glad to see it when I was at Powell's book store. I am happy to say I didn't remember who was the bad guy in this one so I went in legitimately surprised. It's a slow burn romance novel taking place in Alaska. Roberts adds in tons of details about Alaska and the population of Lunacy, Alaska that makes this book really come alive. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is that the
November 10-12, 2019I read this a bit early this year, but we had a freeze roll in, so I guess it makes sense! LOL!December 29, 2016 - January 1, 2017I read this at almost the EXACT same time last year! I keep noticing trends like this! WEIRD!!!! I think cuz it's winter and cold... and I'm thankful it isn't ALASKA cold here in Texas!!!!! I really like this book... :)December 31, 2014 - January 2, 2015I forgot how this ended! Awesome! :) It was interesting reading this already knowing who did it,
Of course we start out with an unlikable character using crude language and talking about sex in a completely trashy manner, two characteristics that are sure to come in a Nora Roberts book. Hes talking about him and his group all sleeping with the same whore before they leave to go to the mountain. Ew. Hes cheating on his wife and family. How admirable. We pick up with the main guy and theres more crude language. The 1st person he meets tells him theres an older woman thatll try to get in his
Actual Rating: 3.5 StarsEven though it took about 30% for the main conflict and excitement to begin, this book was actually a lot of fun. On a side note, I have a thing for wintry settings, especially those with a possible crime thriller plot. And admittedly, despite the rather banal, everyday happenings of our newest Lunacy Chief of Police, I really, really enjoyed Northern Lights.True to form, there were still a lot of things about this book that didn't work for me, but oddly enough, the
