I would have to say the Irish Hearts trilogy. Irish Thoroughbred is the first book she published and one of the first books of hers I've read. That trilogy is what got me hooked on her. Irish Rose and Irish Rebel are great followups as well. All of stories hold a great mixture of romance, adventure, humor and heart.|||Carolina Moon.|||The Key Trilogy is my absolute favorite! I know it's not one book, but you have to read all three to get the whole story!
I also really loved "Blue Smoke."
Nora Roberts is an unbelievable author...I LOVE her work!|||This is a very hard question to answer because I love all of her books that I have read... and that is quite a few...
Some of my favorites are:
Birthright
Night Tales series
The Reef
Endings and Beginnings
True Betrayals
Lawless
Tonight and Always

Nora Roberts, what are most of her books about?
When she writes as Nora Roberts, they're generally romantic novels, but they all follow themes. She's a native of Maryland (my home state), so she writes a lot of stories about things happening in this area. She's known for her trilolgies, all based on different subjects.
When she writes as J.D. Robb, she writes murder mysteries.|||Nora Roberts (born October 10, 1950 in Silver Spring, Maryland as Eleanor Marie Robertson), is a bestselling American author of more than 150 romance novels. She was the first author to be inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame. She writes the "In Death" series as J.D. Robb and has written other works under the pseudonyms Sarah Hardesty and Jill March.
As of 2006, Roberts's novels had spent a combined 660 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List, including 100 weeks in the number-one spot. Over 280 million copies of her books are in print, including 12 million copies sold in 2005 alone. Her novels have been published in 35 countries.|||I Don't no Know Nora|||Of the ones I read: a troubled man meets a troubled woman, and there is some running around to straighten out at least the most pressing troubles, then the man and the woman usually get together-- UNLESS the straightened-out-troubles reveal that the little guy in the over in the back (or the unsung woman) are the REAL true loves for man or the woman characters...
;-}
I don't want to give Nora Roberts short-shrift though. I've heard that some of her stuff is quite good.
Luck--|||Romantic suspense

I am a HUGE fan of Nora Roberts and JD Robb - I need help finding other similar authors?
I have read everything put out by Nora (and her alter-ego JD Robb) and new books just don't come out soon enough. So many other authors that I've tried reading just don't seem to write as good or as deep. There is just something that's missing...PLEASE HELP. If anyone has read anything by other authors that measure up to Nora please let me know!!!
Thank you everyone for your help! :)|||Iris Johansen, James Patter
Both of those are really good authors. I read Nora, and I love them as much as her.
Hope you can find some new reading material that you enjoy!|||Does the library near you have a reader's advisory department? If they do sometimes there are websites like
What to Read Next and Novelist which might be helpful in you finding authors like JD Robb and Nora Roberts.
I know that she is popular at the library where I work!
(I have not read any of her books.)
You might also try asking at a local bookstore like Borders or Barnes and Noble.|||The Kay Scarpetta novels by Patricia Cornwell are also really good.|||Barbara Delinsky and Jude Deveraux have some good stuff out. Somewhere Lies the Moon by Kathleen Patterson or Peterson (it's been a long time since I read it) is good. It's really long, but worth the time.

What are the best Nora Roberts books?
I find that her older books are loads better than her new works. And, since they keep churning out new editions/covers, finding them shouldn't even be too hard.
Like:
Public Secrets
Hidden Riches
Honest Illusions
Homeport
Carolina Moon
And, trilogy-wise:
Chesapeake Bay trilogy (there was a 4th book, but I didn't care much for it)
Dream/Templeton trilogy
Born In (Ice, Fire, Shame) trilogy|||Sign of Seven Trilogy
The Circle Trilogy
The Key Trilogy
Three Sisters Island Trilogy
Irish Trilogy
Chesapeake series
The Mackade Brothers series
I also love the In Death series which she writes under the pen name JD Robb!|||midnight bayou,northern lights and three fates are my favourite but any of her trilogies are definitely worth reading.|||My favorites are"
Sweet revenge
Fire and ice
montana sky
scared sin

Where can i download books for free? From authors like Nora Roberts, etc.?
i am an avid reader and i havent read a decent book in a long time. i really like reading books by Nora Roberts. does any one know where i can possible download her books online for free? also i have limewire and i was able to get a few from there but not many, so i also wanted to know if there is some kind peer-to-peer sharing that is dedicated specifically to downloading and sharing books. if not is there any P2P that has a good supply of books that can be downloaded?|||The book you鈥檙e asking about is still protected by copyright, and will be for 70 years after the author dies. You won鈥檛 find it free online legally.
Once in a while, an author will choose to put a book online for free, but that鈥檚 *extremely* rare because it ends all possible income from sales of that book. With a very few exceptions, most authors simply can鈥檛 afford to give away the product of their work.
This is their livelihood. They have bills to pay, the same as anybody. Please don鈥檛 steal from them.
If you can鈥檛 afford the book, then get it from the library. If your library doesn鈥檛 have it, ask about inter-library loans, which are often free or very inexpensive.|||Just get a library card. It's free. Then you can download books for free. They are generally accessible for 3 weeks or so, depending on the library. You can borrow downloaded books as audiobooks and as online books.
Happy reading.|||You could go to a library you know.|||go to your public library.they usually have an online library, plus videos like national geographic, and other videos like history, dance, and many other subjects
