"This book is a perfect example of why I love Nora Roberts so much. It takes a lot for me to want to move anywhere in the north where winters are long and harsh. Yet, even long after finishing Northern Lights, there is a part of me that really wants to move to Alaska. Her descriptions of its harshness, quirkiness, and more importantly, its beauty, leaves me breathless every time and makes me want to experience it myself, even though I hate winter and snow.[return][return]Meg is the perfect heroine. She's tough but realistic, driven and yet ordinary. I love how Ms. Roberts creates characters that are normal. They worry about mundane, everyday life as much as we do - from paying the bills to work to family issues. One can easily step into the shoes of one of her characters and not feel out of place in them. In her earlier novels, Ms. Roberts' heroines were fabulously wealthy, impossibly beautiful and people that are more the exception than the norm. I really like the fact that her heroines, including Meg, are much more believable and relatable.[return][return]I also adore Ms. Roberts' portrayal of men. The dialogue she writes them cracks me up because of the fact that I would expect my brother, my husband, or my closest males friends to say something similar. Nate is no exception in that aspect. I do realize that no female can quite conquer the male mind, and that if a man were to read this book, he would probably scoff at Nate as unrealistic. To me, he's just another enjoyable character.[return][return]This book definitely kept me turning pages long into the wee hours of the night. The mystery's resolution caught me off-guard, and Meg and Nate's relationship definitely hits all the right notes in the romance category. There is something so believable about these characters that had me caught up in the story line from the very beginning. The Alaskan backdrop is a character on its own. Together, they blend into one fabulous story."

Okay well I really did not see some of this coming! I really loved the story and the town. The person who I thought was the killer the whole time was wrong and I am kind blown.
I liked the Alaska setting, and interesting to have the male POV for a change, but I never got very invested in the romance part. and WHY ELSE am I reading it?
Another winner! I enjoyed the male point of view in this book and the way the location is a character all on its own. Nora kept me guessing about the bad guy with some convincing red herrings. Unfortunately, the ending seemed a bit manufactured. I didn’t understand why the bad guy was so suspicious all of a sudden — he had no reason to be.
This is my favorite kind of Nora Roberts. The hero is kind and not pushy. The heroine is feisty, confident and capable. I love the setting. I love the cast of characters. The heroine is at times unbearably childish, but I really liked this book. It’s a keeper.
Wow, this book is nothing like I thought it would be. The narrative was very monotonous and vague. I just couldn't get into it. Nothing really happened until the 120th page. This book is 562 pages long and I got to page 272. I just had to put it down. I was forcing myself to go on with it. I think I'll just watch the movie instead.
Not really a Romance, but can a book still be considered Women's Fiction if the protag is a man? I liked, but didn't love this book--for taking place in a small town, there are a LOT of characters, many of whom are drawn either way too broad or flat, and half of whom are unnecessary in any case. The heroine is borderline unlikeable for many reasons, but mostly because she repeatedly makes terrible decisions that put herself and others in mortal danger, just to prove a point about her "fierce independence." The hero is intriguing, as is the murder mystery, but the romance is largely an afterthought; it could have been dropped completely and still left us with a decent story. Not sure if I will explore more of Roberts' oeuvre, but I enjoyed NORTHERN LIGHTS overall.
