Legacy by Nora Roberts
3.0

It's fascinating to see how much a Nora Roberts book differs from the modern trend in romance. The love story isn't always central to this book, for one thing. There's mostly external conflict and everyone is unusually good at articulating their feelings, even the children. There are multiple POVs but characterization isn't very deep for anyone. There are a lot of scenes that feel like filler (I skimmed more than one description of errands or chores). Yet this book is comfortable to read. The good guys are very well intentioned and kind to each other. The bad guys are crazy. It's a simple world that Roberts creates and of course we crave it. I haven't read many Nora Roberts books so I can only assume that's her trademark and that this is a good entry to that collection.
