Publisher's summary

A tale of danger and desire from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts, The Welcoming follows a man in pursuit of a master criminal risking more than his life when he meets a woman who steals his heart.

Charity Ford’s seaside inn on Orcas Island is a home away from home for people seeking the simple pleasures in life. Falling prey to a hit-and-run accident has made Charity even more aware of how precious life is. But what she doesn’t know is some of her guests are not who they appear to be. Some are involved in illegal activities—and they’re responsible for Charity’s near death experience. Enter Roman DeWinter, an undercover federal agent on a mission to bring the criminals to justice. He failed to protect Charity once but now he’ll do anything to keep her safe.

Not my favorite

Not my favorite. No build up of relationship. Story line was missing a lot of details. I just wasn’t crazy about it, I love Nora but this wasn’t my favorite.

Very dated

You can tell this one is written in the 80’s. It is not as good as Robert’s newer books.

The story line

I really enjoyed how the characters grew. The descriptions of places helped to see the characters in place and action.

Another Nora Roberts “Must Read!”

Loved the story line. The twists and turns. The characters are always so perfect for the story. You will find yourself thinking about them while you aren’t listening. The performance is captivating as well. 5 star all the way around! Enjoy!

Sappy and annoying!

Not your typical Nora read! Almost read like the book came from a different author. Very sappy and his calling her baby from the beginning was over the top. Fell into the relationship so quickly might as well had sex in the van on the ferry!
