Critic reviews

"Her artful manipulation of the plot, contrived so that amour and horror escalate in tandem, reaffirms her ability to deliver entertaining fiction." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Sandra Burr adds her considerable talents to this tightly written romantic thriller. Her child's voice is eerily memorable, her teenage Livy aches of womanhood, but she shines with the adult Livy and Noah. Their sexual tension is palpable, and the story's suspense is even more tightly strung." ( Library Journal)

fantastic

well written good plot lots of twists never revealing till the very end. a true work of literary art.

dissatisfied with the story ending

the story brought me in with a great adventure with some ups and downs and twist throughout the story but I was taken aback at the end. I was very disappointed with the way it ended. yes, I was surprised on how the story ended, didn't expected it to go in that direction. I was so taken into the story and lost myself in the whole experience but at the end of the story it seemed to loose me with the twist of events. I didn't like the way it ended. I won't give it away to other readers but I would love to have a better way of ending the story.

I just love her books!

I love getting lost in a new place. I love the mountains and this covered both. Plus mystery!

Nora Roberts books are great

Loved the twist at the end. What a nice read. I have found I like the way she writes.

Unexpected Ending at River's End

Hollywood love gone wrong. The perfect Hollywood couple have the perfect Hollywood baby except the interference of the Hollywood complications. Drugs, and suspected unfaithfulness lead to murder.
The perfect baby is whisked away to the Olympic National Forest and sheltered from life while her Daddy spends 20 years in prison.
I cried as I pictured this little girl looking for her mommy. I was riveted to find out the story behind the story and I love the believability of the characters. Everyone should read how it ends for Livvy.

Rivers End

Good story ,abrupt ending ,performance a little corny with child's voice. I enjoy Robert's books but she seems to run out of steam and just ends her stories as quickly and easily as she can.

Great Book!
