Summary: Winemaking Never Tasted So Sweet!
Comment: The Villa is Nora Roberts newest novel, which centers around the Giambelli-MacMillan winery and vineyards. Sophia Giambelli is the grandaughter of matriarch Tereza Giambelle. Tereza announces big changes for the company, including putting Sophia and Tyler MacMillan working together to learn the ins and outs of each others job. As changes are being made at Giambelli-MacMillan, someone is trying to sabotage the company, even going as far as murder to ruin the family name and business. As always Nora throws in a cast of characters that are so easy to enjoy and love (from Sophia's mom-Pilar, Tyler's grandpa-Eli, David-the new COO, Theo and Maddy-David's kids, the list goes on and on). The Villa if full of the excitement you can expect from Nora Roberts, not to mention the romance (espically the heat coming from Sophia and Ty! What a great couple!). P.S. Even the ending was a shocker that was not expected!!

Summary: A great source for escapist reading
Comment: Nora Roberts is weaves wonderful tales and while The Villa may not be her best, I wouldn't say it was her worst either. While there were a couple of instances where something surprised me, overall after reading multiple novels by her, that she seemed to have fallen into a bit of a rut with her characters. When I read Tyler, I could easily see some of her others heros, such as the lead from Carolina Moon, in the lines. While that's not necessarily a bad thing for me as I liked both characters, I would love to see some of the earlier variety she displayed. I don't mean to say that Tyler is a carbon copy of the earlier character, but they seemed to have quite a bit in common. Roberts is capable of wonderful stories, and while I firmly believe this book bears a place on the shelf of any Roberts fan, it has room for improvement. Nevertheless, it serves the purpose of most romance novels, great escapist reading :)

Summary: The VIlla
Comment: I thought The Villa by Nora Roberts was a great book. I loved her contrast of the characters. Sopie was by far my favorite character throughout the book. It was full of mystery and scandal, yet the base of it was family and love. The romance between Tyler and Sophie was very complex and interesting to watch grow. Sophie was a great example of a woman that can take care of herself. I truly sympathize Sophia for the death of her father. I was extremely shocked by the ending. I never would have guess that Helen was the one that killed Tony or had an affair with him. No wonder Sophie and Linc were so close, they truly were brother and sister. Nora Roberts is a wonderful writer. I would definitely read another one of her books.
