Key of Light

I used to read Nora books like my life depended on it. Her writing is why I want to go to Ireland and romance books forever pulp me in. I stopped reading her books for a while because sometimes the illusion of love can be painful to read when you don’t have it.

This book reminds me of everything I love about a good Nora book. As usual it never ever fails to suck you in. You have the usual suspects. 3 wonderful ladies set to an unbelievable and magical quest. Malory, Dana and Zoe.

Malory is the first chosen, a woman sure of herself, designer classy. She has a plan of what she wants and where she sees her future and things are pulled from under her when her bosses bimbo wife comes and turns ard. In the midst of that she meets 2 women she has an instant connection to. All 3 now charged w a quest that they would literally be crazy to accept as it can’t be real. Or can it? But not to, to leave money that could change her life forever would also be madness.

She takes a chance, happens upon love, her destiny and she just may save lives as well…of she finds her key in time. Either way their lives are intertwined in the craziest of ways and her relationship w Flynn and the ladies as with all Nora books, gives you a bit of hope. I’m hooked again.

As always Nora writes a wonderful story. This book was double fold for me because my husband put thought into a gift I truly wanted and purchased this trilogy for me for my birthday. I have one problem which bothered me was the female characters wishy wasyness. I know it’s necessary for her to come into her own but the male got on my nerves. When a female says no, no should mean no and having a man ignore the no send the wrong signals. He pushes his way into her house, he pushes himself on her, and other stuff. I’m not ogle to think borderline rapist qualifies are sexy our romantic. I did complete the read and it worked out some how but I’m very uncomfortable with that kind of behavior. I’m not here to upset anyone but that is my opinion.

This is one of my re-read favorite books, and I have the print version, the E-version, AND the Audio versions, as permanent fixtures in my collection. The story is good, with enough mystic references to lift it out of the ordinary, and not enough to put it into the fantasy shelf (Although I must admit to having a fantasy of two in my head regarding Pitte, but I’ll have to leave it at that, because Rowena would turn me into a pile of ash if the situation ever became real). And even after reading this book DOZENS of times, the funny lines still make me smile, and the scary parts still scare me. That’s the hallmark of a really great writer.

The Key Series, by Nora Roberts is now my new all time favorite I don’t want to give away the storyline, but I loved the metaphysical flavor, the magic of all three books in the series. This trilogy is a “feel good” series which I’m sure I’ll reread from time to time. I loved how the author brought every character to life and made the reader feel like he/she was actually in the story. Just awesome!. The storyline started off really good with the first of book 1 of the series and just kept building, getting better and better all the way through the end of the third book in the series. You really must read this trilogy!!

This book was like a Harlequin on steroids. The author makes a good point in her story about art being subjective, and this art form is not for me. I cringed my way through pages and pages of profanity and soft core porn. I loved the idea of the story, it is truly imaginative. I would love to know how the story progresses and ends, but I’m not sure I want to purchase another book that I have to continually edit in my mind as I read, or that I have to skip through so many pages to get at the story. It would have been so much better if it had been written in a way that any age could enjoy it. It’s not one i will recommend.
