Now, I am biased as I really do enjoy Nora Roberts, but this only really was super fun. What is so interesting to me as I have started reading young adult fiction is that this most certainly would have been a 3-book series with another writer. It didn't need to be. If you like Nora, you will LOVE this one.

Roberts writes good characters, but she lacks quality in her prose. The plot was predictable.

it was an expected Nora Roberts read.
adventurous lighthearted mysterious medium-paced

I actually think that Three Fates is one of Nora Roberts' weaker books. It's a book that should have been three - as it is, the personal stories feel intensely rushed, to get to completion on the same time as the core story of the book.

More like 3,5 stars for me, and I need a week to finish this, despite my busy schedule and this book really thick!

Honestly I more love Nora's other pen name book, J.D.Robb's In Death series, well at last she have a to-die-for-and-no-one-can-beat-him-in-my-heart hero, no need to tell what his name. (what, you don't know him? Alright, he is Roarke, *cough2*)

Based on her heritage from Ireland, so in this book Nora Roberts back to her patterns, to make Irish characters and live at Ireland, there are Sullivan Brother, Malachi , Gideon and Rebecca. Each of them have their own story, but still connected. To achieve "Three Fates" statue that stolen from them, they must travel from Ireland, to Prague and New York, and meet their fates .. a.k.a mate...

This book have it all. A little bit myth and legend, strong heroine, alpha man, suspense, and of course romance. What I love from "Three Fates" is, Nora Roberts again can make a strong heroine, who she show for her characters, Tia Marsh and Cleo Toliver. Both is fallen for Sullivan's men , Malachi and Gideon, but have different situation. I must said I more enjoyed Mal-Tia relationship than Cleo-Gideon. And from the man side, I more love Jack Burdett, Rebecca's lover, that for her surprise had tied with Sullivan family from the beginning

The villain, Anita Gaye, she stole Three Fates first statue from Malachi, is very2 bitch! She will do anything to retrieve and complete 3 statues of Three Fates, include killing people. The villain aspect is another part that make this story interesting..

Another not to be missed if you love Nora Roberts's book
