Nora Roberts – The Lost Bride Trilogy

I finished the trilogy a couple of days ago. A young woman inherits a mansion from a relative she didn’t know she had, and discovers it’s haunted. She and her friends try to rid the mansion of the malevolent ghost who wants the mansion for herself.

I recommend this highly. I liked the people Nora created. Strong, intelligent, talented young woman who don’t shy away from a fight. Caring men who become part of the group help the women in their quest. I would love to know these people in real life. The story compelled me to keep reading – just one more chapter when I should have been doing something else. I just didn’t want to put my Kindle down. I’ve provided a link above to the trilogy on Amazon.

I have told you about R.G. Ryan, one of my ‘new’ favorite authors. He’s active on X, newly active to Substack, plus has written many books, one series of which is the Jake Moriarity series, about a man ‘who finds people.’ I read six of the books in the series, and then found that R.G. had written a “Prequel,” so downloaded that and read it, and then wanted to re-read the six books again. The first in the series is “Watercolor Dreams.” I’m now re-reading book 2, “Finding Wonderland.”

I am thoroughly intrigued by the main character, Jake Moriarity. He is tough when he needs to be – even ruthless – and yet is brought to tears by situations involving his family and friends. In each book you learn more about him. His friends and relatives are people you would want to know. The group is fiercely loyal to each other. I find the series fascinating. When I finish the six books I have (not counting the “Prequel: The Last Happy Summer”) I will pester RG to provide more.

Happy reading!

We just tried to go visit Harvey. We wanted to go today because Fridays are super-busy for us. I just wrote the post about the Yi Peng Lantern Festival and the Loy Krathong Festival. Apparently, the fact that the 2nd night of both festivals is tonight makes traveling anywhere really challenging. We ordered a Grab and then information came up while we were standing outside, saying they would charge more than twice the normal fare one way and that our wait time would be ridiculous. So what is a wonderful celebration tonight is not without problems for us today. We will go visit Harvey tomorrow.

I finished “Next of Kin: Rebel Ridge Book 1” the Sharon Sala book I told you about. I enjoyed it and would recommend you check her out. Now I’m re-reading “Watercolor Dreams” by R.G. Ryan, which is technically the first book in his Jake Moriarity series, though I just finished the “Prequel: The Last Happy Summer” that came out recently. I am looking forward to re-reading the 6 books I have and then getting more.

I have rolled up towels on my window sills, hoping to contain whatever leaks I get from still more rain. I hope the rain doesn’t make the celebrations tonight impossible.

I wish you a grin-filled day.
