Whiskey Beach

by Nora Roberts

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts weaves together passion and obsession, humor and heart, in a novel of two people opening themselves up to the truth—and to each other.

For more than three hundred years, Bluff House has sat above Whiskey Beach, guarding its shore—and its secrets. But to Eli Landon, it’s home.

A Boston lawyer, Eli has weathered an intense year of public scrutiny and police investigations after being accused of—but never arrested for—the murder of his soon-to-be ex-wife.

He finds sanctuary at Bluff House, even though his beloved grandmother is in Boston recuperating from a nasty fall. Abra Walsh is always there, though. Whiskey Beach’s resident housekeeper, yoga instructor, jewelry maker and massage therapist, Abra is a woman of many talents—including helping Eli take control of his life and clear his name. But as they become entangled in each other, they find themselves caught in a net that stretches back for centuries—one that has ensnared a man intent on reaping the rewards of destroying Eli Landon once and for all.

This was a really nice book, nothing spectacular, just a great "regular" Nora Roberts romance suspense book.

Great, thrilling story with surprise twists and tension.

Really amazing Characters, great fun to read. Eli has great character development and you can see how destroyed and fractured he is at the beginning of the story and how he comes "back" (not really back, cause we didn't meet him before, but you know what I mean). I really like how in the beginning Eli isn't really that likable, understandable with his story and past, but we get to see him develop so naturally and come to life, which is a great way to get to know a MC. Abra was almost too perfect for my liking, hence the four stars and not five. She was so nice and helpful and good at almost everything and always said the perfect thing, and showed no doubts and yeah... was just a bit too two dimensional for me. Just not relatable enough for me, especially in contrast with Eli who was so human and had so much character growth. Abra had few to none character growth.

But all in all, I really liked the whole book, I tend to enjoy Nora Roberts Crime Romances a lot more than her plain romances these days, probably because I feel like her romances are all the same over and over again, not to say that they aren't good, they are, but I don't need to read it 50 times. But these types of books usually hit their mark for me.
