Also as enchanting

The 2-book series of the Calhoun sisters was wonderful. I was so involved in reading both books that I couldn't put them down. I loved the way the Nora Roberts wrote and kept the reader so involved in all the characters. She made each women so dynamic in their own way and the men in the lives that fit each personality. I was so interested in reading each life and seeing how they each fit together and worked together to end the books. Great Job!

Sisters of the Heart

Catherine and Amanda are so totally unalike in nature but absolute sisters in their hearts. They share their falling down old castle of a home with their two other sisters and an accentric aunt. They also share it with a young man who is bent on having the house to make into another of his chain of hotels. The plotting involved and the added excitement of an ancestral love story and some missing emeralds adds fire to the combination. Nora Roberts is at her best form.

Nora never disappoints!!!!

The Calhoun Women.. "Catherine and Amanda" is the first 2 part book about 4 sisters. In this book, Catherine "C.C." meets Trent, and Amanda meets Sloan. I give Nora credit for making up original names for her male characters. These Calhoun sisters will win your heart!!! C.C., with her black hair, is an auto mechanic, Amanda, with her honey brown hair, is a hotel manager, Lilah, with her flame red mane is a naturalist, and Suzanna is the blonde with the children.

The Calhoun Women Are Imbricate!

This one is two novels reissued in one. Four sisters, two children, and an aunt living together in a huge mansion, called The Towers, which is slowly running down. This book has the story of two of those sisters. First story is of Catherine, also called C.C. Trent wanted to purchase The Towers and convert it into one of his fancy hotel chain. Catherine is an expert at fixing vehicles. Two of the most opposite people in the world and yet they fall in love. Trent learns how it hurts to have no choice but to give up an entire family history, such as The Towers is to the Calhouns. A compromise is made. During it all, everyone is searching for the famous Calhoun Emeralds which was a legend. They were hidden somewhere in the mansion. Second story is Amanda. Well organized and level headed, Amanda always has things running smoothly. But when Sloan enters the picture, Amanda is thrown into pure chaos. She cannot even throw him out of The Towers, because he is the architect hired by Trent to do the renovations. She must be in his presence at home, while he fixes the house. Worse, she must deal with him at her work too, since he is a guest in the hotel where she is Assistant Manager. Through it all, there is a thief intent of breaking into The Towers to locate and steal the famous hidden Calhoun Emeralds. ***Wonderful stories. I love the fact that the plot runs through all the stories, even though each woman has a story of her own.***

This book was a true love story!!!

I have just recently been turned on to Nora Roberts, and she has quickly become my favorite author. The story of the Calhoun Women is both touching and heart-warming to read. It's nice to read a book where the women are proud, strong and confident.
