Publisher's summary

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Nora Roberts takes listeners deep into the rugged Black Hills of South Dakota, where the shadows keep secrets, hunters stalk the land, and a childhood friendship matures into an adult passion.

Cooper Sullivan spent the summers of his youth on his grandparents’ South Dakota ranch, sharing innocent games and stolen kisses with the neighbor girl, Lil Chance. Now, twelve years after they last walked together hand in hand, fate has brought them back to the Black Hills.

Coop has left his fast-paced life as an investigator in New York to take care of his aging grandparents and the ranch he has come to call home. Though the memory of his touch still haunts her, Lil has let nothing stop her dream of opening the Chance Wildlife Refuge, but something...or someone...has been keeping a close watch. When small pranks and acts of destruction escalate into a heartless attack on Lil’s beloved cougar, memories of an unsolved murder in these very hills have Coop springing to action to keep Lil safe.

Lil and Coop know the natural dangers that lurk in the wild landscape of the Black Hills. But a killer of twisted and unnatural instincts has singled them out as prey...

Riveting!!!

As usual Nora Roberts did not disappoint! A well written, suspenseful novel! The narrators made it come to life in such a meaningful way you can’t help but feel you are actually in the hills along with the characters. I couldn’t stop listening!

Great characters if a bit predictable

Where does Black Hills rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Mid range, easy on the brain but characters and dialogue fun.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

No changes.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

My favorite Roberts' "mystery" so far b/c of characters and setting.

Black Hills

Up against Nora’s best this was not my favorite, but still good. It was a slow starter but got my blood going after about a third of the way in.

Abusive relationship

I cannot believe how Nora’s stories revolve around such controlling men and submissive women. And she believes it’s all in the name of “love”. Story would have been really good without it. Seems to be in all her books.
