Irish Dreams: Irish Rebel / Sullivan's Woman by Nora Roberts

3.0

Okay, so I read a Nora Roberts novel. I had to see what the hype was about, and also, I needed some research on a simple concept: What sells? I actually discovered the opposite of my hypothesis with Roberts. My assumption was that she would have an engaging, fun-filled story, but the writing quality would be poor. In actuality, she's a very talented writer (no Salman Rushdie by any means, of course), but her stories are quite basic and even dry. Apart from the rare erotic scene, they're not even all that steamy. So I give her three stars to cover lovely moments of literary skill, but the story is what really makes the novel, in my mind, and she doesn't have it. Not in this particular work, at least.
