Under Currents by Nora Roberts

5.0

This book was by an author I have read before but this time the suspense and the challenging theme throughout the storyline made for quite difficult reading at times. At the heart of this tale is resilience, family and ultimately love. Robert’s usual romance-led prose I felt took a back seat for this more challenging read but I was still unable to put it down, reading it in 2 days.
The story follows the main character Zane from his teenage years to adulthood and his determination to not let past experiences hold him back. The first part of the book about his childhood makes for strong emotions of anger and sadness and but as he evolves into a moral and determined man his move home means he is surrounded by close family and friends. Darcy a new inhabitant of his hometown is there to nurture a new business for herself and their paths cross. Will they be able to face the challenges ahead from the undercurrents that threaten them both?
A really enjoyable story and one which made me go through a range of emotions – anger, sadness, fear, worry and joy. I would recommend you add to your reading list - for me 5 stars
