Unfinished Business
She wanted answers from her estranged mother and went home to find them. But Vanessa Sexton also found Brady Tucker, the man who'd once broken her heart . . . and still left her breathless. Island of Flowers
Innocent Laine Simmons journeyed to Hawaii to get to know the father she hadn't seen in years. Was she ready to face her past -- and find her future in the arms of her father's sexy partner, Dillon O'Brian? Mind Over Matter
Protecting her mother's interests pitted no-nonsense Aurora Fields against a very determined David Brady. But there were few David couldn't charm if he set his mind to it -- and this time it really mattered.

Summary: Love the author, not one of my favorites
Comment: I have recently just begun to dive into the huge collection of Nora Roberts novels. The first book I read was Angel's Fall which I really enjoyed. I have to say that I was disappointed with this collection as a whole. I did not realize when I bought this book that two of the three stories were from her early career(1984 and 1987). The first story is Unfinished Business and of the three this was my favorite. It was written in 2000 and I think it flowed well and I enjoyed the characters and plot. It was a very fast read. The second story was Island of Flowers which took me awhile to get into. I thought it was very choppy and didn't particulary care for the characters at all. The third story was Mind Over Matter and this one was mediocre at best. Maybe it was the fact that I didn't really care to read a story on a clarvoyant mother and daughter. A quick recommendation, don't pick this as your first Nora Roberts book.

Summary: Disappointing Collection
Comment: The stories in this book were mediocre with the first one, "Unfinished Business," being, in my opinion, the best in the bunch. However, even that story wasn't what I expect from picking up a Nora novel. The book itself would never have been my choice (a co-worker passed it on to me to read). All three stories were the same old, same old. Girl meets boy, girl and boy are at each other's throats, then girl and boy have sex, then they fall in love. One mistakes the other's intentions but in the end all is happily ever after. The stories lacked substance. "Island of Flowers" at least took us on a nice tour of the Hawaiian Islands, however the female lead in that story, Lainey Simmons, was nothing but a milk toast, annoying creature as you watched her fall apart (but immediately fall in love even though he was downright arrogant and rude) under the influence of Dillon O'Brian, her father's business partner. "Mind Over Matter" was a boring and ridiculous story of a clairvoyant mother/daughter, the daughter, A.J. (Aurora) working as a talent agent and involved with a producer, David Brady, who wants to produce a show with her mother in the starring role. The ending was tiresome with all the female/male mind games and misinterpreted emotions - very ho hum and enough to put you to sleep for lack of a storyline. The one story that was anywhere near decent to my mind was "Unfinished Business" about a world renowned concert pianist (Vanessa Sexton) coming home to make amends with her mother with whom she had never really had a relationship. She hooks up with her childhood flame, Brady Tucker, the good doctor in town and learns quite a bit about not only her mother but the feelings she and Brady begin to rekindle as the story moves along. All in all, this book is very early Nora and while I am an avid Nora fan, I feel the stories were definitely not worth the time reading. Nora has some excellent early works so don't let this bad egg discourage your reading them. "The Villa," "Homeport," "Carolina Moon," "River's End" and "Honest Illusions" are just a few of her early works and part of a very long list that are definitely worth the read.

Summary: Not really worth the time
Comment: The stories were very dated and everyone fell in love within about a week of meeting, how tidy. The middle story was too short and I didn't even finish reading it, just skimmed, but it wasn't satisfying at all. The third story had potential, but again, with everything is perfect, happy endings all around, no real problems. I wouldn't recommend this title when there are more contemporary works available by Roberts that make for much better reading.
