How could you not like Nora Roberts? I loved Montana Sky. You feel like you are experiencing what the sisters were going through. I could feel myself getting so caught up in this book I could not put it down. I really enjoyed it. Keep up the great writing.

I have been looking forward to reading a Nora Roberts or J.D. Robb book for a few years now and i finally got started on one...Montana Sky. It started out ok and then I was very disappointed when being the animal lover that I am, i had to read graphic details of how a killer tortured and killed 4 animals and a human in a most grotesquely horrific manner. This has ruined the whole book for me and i am so disappointed that i can not finish the book now. It could have been a good story with interesting characters even though you can see right thru it and tell who will wind up with who, i really wish the author did not ruin it with these grotesque torture and killings of animals. I dont think i would want to read another one of her books because of this. I would imagine the majority of her readers are females and i am not quite sure how many females do enjoy reading of animals being tortured, killed, decapitated. Totally ruined the book and any future books by this author for me.
Big disappointment.

This is seriously the best book i have ever read. I was upset that the book was over. I wish Nora Roberts would make a sequel to this book. I already bought the movie and i loved it too. This is a must read.

This story centers around three sisters. Willa has lived on Mercy Ranch her entire life. Even though she grew up with her father, he never approved of her or had a nice thing to say to her. Tess is all Hollywood. She is a writer, and thrives in that environment. Then there is Lily, who is shy, and afraid of her own shadow. She has been running from her abusive ex for a long time, and longs to find somewhere she belongs. When Jack dies, all three are brought to Montana. They find out that they must live together or lose out on their inheritance. If they can survive all the twists and turns, they may have found the family each one needs.

It is a great book, and very intense read. The characters are written very well, and the secondary characters are important to the story also. A little more violence than I am comfortable with, but I think it was necessary to the story.

I am NOT a reader but enjoyed the movie based on the book so decided to give the book a try. I was completely hooked after only a few chapters. To the point that I read it in 3 days, I couldn't put it down, I had to find out what happened next. Even though I knew basically what was going to happen since I'd seen the movie. Roberts gives such great detail and makes you feel as though you are there and can almost feel the emotions of the characters. It has a mystery and a great love story that are perfectly molded together. It seems to have something for whatever mood your in. The characters are descriptive and personal and you care what happens to them. The dialoge is witty,very entertaining and sensual at times. You are rooting for the sisters to make it through the year and come out a family. And you definetly want Ben and Willa to find the love they both want and deserve. This book was so captivating that I got several more Nora Roberts books and have enjoyed them all. However Montana Sky is by far my favorite of the 7 or 8 I've read so far.
