Black hills by nora roberts pdf

Overall, a disappointment. Update June having forgotten I'd read it before, I tried to read it again.

This time, I disliked it so much I put it down about a third of the way through an said, "ick. Thinking about rating it one star. One of NR's biggest disappointments so far. Solid 4-stars, maybe bordering on 4. This was just an all around solid book for me.

There were two things that kept it from being a 5-star read, and neither of those were critical issues. But overall, I have to say I enjoyed this book a lot and I'm trying not to be a biased Nora Roberts groupie when I say that.

Cooper Sullivan was just eleven years old when his parents sent him off to his grandparents farm in the Black Hills of South Dakota for the summer. For Coop, it was like being sent to prison and he hated it. But a talk with his grandmother convinces him to give it a chance so he does and befriends nine-year-old Lil Chance in the process.

Over the years their friendship grows until, in their late teens, it becomes more. Lil thinks they are starting their future together, but after a while it all falls apart and they go their separate ways. Now twelve years have passed. Lil has fulfilled her lifelong dream of opening a wildlife refuge and everything is going well for her. Then Coop, a retired detective, returns, this time for good. Coop broke her heart once and Lil is determined to not let him do it again. For Coop, seeing Lil is a painful reminder of the hardships of his life.

The two come to an unintentional truce of leaving each other alone. But then danger threatens Lil. Someone is messing with her Refuge, pulling "pranks" and then killing a cougar. Coop can't sit by while Lil is in danger, especially when it becomes clear that Lil is in real danger. He also realizes that it's time to clear things up between them personally. He loves her, always has, but now he has to regain her trust.

And hope to keep her safe from a madman who loves the thrill of the hunt. Of course, I love nature and animals and all that. So it was interesting to read about the Refuge, how things worked, the animals, etc. And I loved the bond between Lil and Baby the cougar. So sweet. Especially how the ending worked out. Probably not! But very interesting to read and a great way to resolve the suspense part of the story.

All in all, this part of the story just worked for me. I also liked how the beginning of the book was done. The story goes back to when Coop and Lil are kids and meet for the first time and progresses through some key scenes. Roberts has done "time progression" stories before and I've always loved them , but this one is not quite as involved.

The "flashback" part is only about 80 pages. So the past doesn't overwhelm the story. But I thought those first 80 pages were nice to read; gives you some great insight into the characters and the bond between them. As for the relationship between Lil and Coop I liked it, but I can't say I loved it. There was definitely chemistry between them and a strong bond, but there was something just a little bit off and I can't put my finger on it.

The two were enjoyable to read overall, though. Add a review Your Rating: Your Comment:. Black Rose by Nora Roberts. The Hollow by Nora Roberts. The Pagan Stone by Nora Roberts.
