As always, with anything that Ms Roberts writes, her characters are intricate, flawed and yet fully sympathetic. Within pages you are completely on board and care about what happens to them. Her plot is always well put together and the right amount of mystery and clues and twists and the relationship between her characters is always on point.
I love everything she has ever written.

This was not for me.
Overall I found it painfully long and boring. The thriller aspect (stalker case) didn't feel like a large part of the plot, but more like something added on to a dull romance to add some tension.
The main character is apparently perfect, everyone loves her and she manages to be hugely successful at literally everything because of her perky attitude. Her friends and family are all super supportive and helpful and everything works out brilliantly for everyone.
The romance was sickly sweet.
Should have dnf'd this one. Would not recommend.

I must firstly apologise for the amount of time it has taken me to provide a review of this book, my health was rather bad for quite some time, something that had me in hospital on numerous occasions and simply didnt leave me with the time I once had to do what I love most.

Unfortunately that does mean I have missed the archive date for many of these books, so It would feel unjust throwing any review together without being able to pay attention to each novel properly.

However, I am now back to reading as before and look forward to sharing my honest reviews as always going forward. I thank you f0r the patience and understanding throughout x

I really enjoyed this story. It wasn’t what I was expecting, but in a good way.
I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and didn’t quite know what direction it would take as I got stuck in.
Some bits are a little predictable, but it kept me reading and intrigued until the end. Would love to read a follow up to see what happens in all the characters lives.

Never read a Nora Roberts book but lots of my friends and fellow book lovers have so I was super excited to get stuck in.

Did not disappoint one bit. I was drawn in hook, line and sinker and raced to the end.
Loved the plot, the face paced read and the ending.

I will definitely now read more and am grateful that this copy has given me the nudge I needed to read a much recommended author

I haven’t yet read anything by this author but this has made me want to make a start on her back catalogue, I loved her writing style and found the plot and concept to be engaging

Unfortunately this book was not for me, it was a bit slower than I would like and it just didn't hold my attention. I am sure other people will love it!

This book was everything I look for in a book. It was so exciting. The plot was fantastic. It really had me on the edge of my seat, and my heart racing. It was very well written and flowed well.

Legacy Nora Roberts
This book isn't grabbing my attention at the moment, tried audio and ebook so putting it aside for now. May try it again later.

By far the most disappointing Nora Roberts novel I have read, and I've read many of hers. This one seemed rushed and trite, as if it were written as an obligation.

I was so excited to receive an e-galley of this book from NetGalley UK. What a let-down.

A good plot, likable characters and a perfectly apt title. However, a big too long for my liking.

Also, the excitement that I felt after I read the first chapter gradually turned into boredom as I reached towards the halfway mark because of the excess number of sub plots which just ended up unnecessarily dragging it.

Thank You NetGalley and Little, Brown Book Group UK for the ARC!

I really enjoyed this book - I had no idea what to expect.

Nora Roberts has such a breadth of themes, and even kinds of books, from romance to thriller, which is more like this one. You never know what to expect!

Adrian's tale was an unexpected one - from the start of the tale, and what happened to her father, and how the tale turned full circle, from coming from nothing, and working for yourself, trying to avoid a hand-up from her mother, to the price of fame, this was gripping and you weren't sure where the story would go.

I loved how there was a romance with the dogs from the main characters, let alone the romance of the setting of where the Rizzo's were from and where Adrian moved back to.

I would highly recommend reading this!

If you are looking for a long read where a lot happens, Legacy is a great choice. It follows Adrian and the rest of the characters over the span of about twenty years. Within that period, a lot happens: death, love, loss, new friendships, new businesses, and, of course, murder. However, though a lot happens, I felt that the book was somewhat dragged out for me. I put that down to my focus solely being on Adrian’s threatening messages. While we do hear from the killer sporadically throughout Legacy, they don’t really come into play until the last 10%, where action really starts kicking off for me.

I know a lot of readers will also love the characters in Legacy. However, I felt unable to connect with it really care for them. By no means do any of the characters have the perfect life. But they don’t seem to have any flaws and we’re ultimately too sweet for me. I can’t connect with characters like that.

I guess, overall, Legacy wasn’t as dark as I was expecting from the blurb. This made it a slightly disappointing experience for me, but I sure others will enjoy this book.

Nora Roberts is a reassuring and deeply profound author. Every book I. Have read brings me into a world or family that I em immediately invested in. This book will be a huge success as always thank you

Didn't keep me on the edge of my seat, or particularly 'grip' me but it was an easy read with some interesting characters.

Another brilliant novel by Nora Roberts. How does she do it?!
Well written, not too taxing on the brain and great characters and storyline.
Keep them coming please

If there’s a book Nora Roberts has written I haven’t loved, I don’t think I’ve found it yet. She’s an amazing talent. What a mix of suspense, little bit of romance, friendships, community , just fabulous. I loved Raylan & Adrian, both strong characters with issues and a past but ready to move past it. Absolutely unputdownable, one sitting read for me and then regret reading it so quickly, when is the next due

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Nora Roberts knows how to craft an engaging story. Adrian wasnt born into the perfect family. At seven years of age a man bursts into her home and tries to kill her. Luckily her mother overpowers him. Fast forward a decade and Lina has made a sucess with her business yoga baby. Adrian is inspired to start her own yoga videos and targets the misfits of her school to help her. The videos are a roaring sucess. Then the letters start, death threats every year. Who wants her dead and why do they want her dead? While this is an engageing story I did find it dragged in places. Knocking a star off because of the dragging.

This was a great read. It wasn’t too taxing yet kept me gripped throughout m. Adrian Rizzo seems to have the perfect life but someone is not happy about that and they’re going to let her know!! This was relatively fast paced snd not far fetched. I really enjoyed it.
