SUMMARY: [From barnesandnoble.com] Atop the rocky coast of Maine sits the Towers, a magnificent family mansion that is home to a legend of long-lost love, hidden emeralds - and four sisters determined to save their home against all odds.
Courting Catherine - Headstrong beauty Catherine "C.C." Calhoun wasn't going to let anyone take away the Towers. Especially not handsome hotel magnate Trenton St. James. For Trent, this was strictly business, but C.C.'s mix of fire and fury led his mind in an unexpectedly different direction!
A Man for Amanda - A slow drawl was all Amanda Calhoun heard when she walked into the wall of denim and muscle that was Sloan O'Riley, the architect hired to renovate the Towers. Amanda found Sloan's easygoing manner infuriating. But his smile just might change her mind.
For the Love of Lilah - Adrift in a storm, Professor Max Quartermain must have hallucinated the beautiful mermaid who came to his rescue. But Lilah was no mystical creature - she was a woman of flesh and blood, and undeniable attracted to the intense and mysterious stranger.
REASON FOR READING: The roomie told me I had to.
THOUGHTS: Nora Roberts is just beginning to bother me. Her storylines, characters, and writing style are the same in every book. It's beginning to drive me nuts. For that reason, I could not get into this book. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either.
MISCELLANEOUS: Stop it with the jewels and mysticism already.
KEEP/SHARE/CRINGE(?): The roomie gets to keep it.
RATING: 4/10 [An "okay" book, but I don't recommend it]
