Black Hills by Nora Roberts

3.0

even though it is River's End meets Montana Sky, there was enough of something within the story to keep me interested to the end.

I wasn't thrilled with the way the Indigenous rep showed up in this book; the antagonist bastardized the culture and the heroine vaguely leverages a heritage that only appears when it's convenient for the narrative. So that diminished how I felt about the book overall. I also struggled a bit with Cooper as a viable hero because the relationship felt splattered with red flags. The setting and Lil's character development around wildlife rescue were the highlights of the read for me though.

This was definitely one of my top favorites by Nora Roberts. Actually, it probably is my favorite! I love everything about the story.

Nora Roberts's romantic suspense just hits different.

Baby carried the book, the real MVP.
