Arrived on time Great book

MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING

Nora By: Jeffie Ross Gordon, this has been one of my favourite books I have read. Nora is a great character. Also a perfect example for those who think that money is everything. Nora learns that lying is not the best thing to do, she wanted to be wealthy, popular, but yes, she did became popular but in the negative way. Nora is in between two decisions either marrying the love of her life, but he could be a thief, her heart tells her one thing, her head another what will be her decisions? I recommend you to read this great book to find out the exciting answer.

A good book

Although this isn't the best book in the series, I enjoyed it nonetheless. Nora is a good character and strong, like all the Sunfire heroines. The romance makes for some very sweet scenes. My biggest complaint about the book is that there is more about Nora's romances than about Nora herself. Amanda (in the other book) has a character, with or without Ben, but Nora's isn't nearly so apparent. It is a very romantic book, however, and I couldn't help liking it quite a bit.

Combines history, adventure, survival, and romance.

All the Sunfire books have history, adventure, and romance. But NORA also has survival in it. Nora is an Irish girl living in San Francisco in 1906. One morning their is a terrible earthquake. Is her family still alive? And the two young men she loves? Nora must survive the quake and aftershocks, and comes out of the quake stronger then before.
