Reseñas de la Crítica

"[A] suspenseful, glamorous story of love, blackmail, and magic." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"Reader Burr displays a variety of intonations and accents, from kids to little ladies and old men, from Cajuns to New Yorkers and Mexicans." ( AudioFile)

Wonderful

Wonderful and great story. It has everything in it. Magic, suspense, romance, excitement. I just loved it!!!

Even great the nth time around

I’ve read and listened to this book many times since it first came out in print. It entertains throughout the many happy events and draws tears during tragic life events (Alzheimer’s).

It is one of my favorite books and Sandra Burr is an excellent narrator.

Great story, not so great audio.

One of Nora Roberts best. The narrator did a fabulous job. The audio was way over processed though and the very obvious manipulations constantly threw me out of the story. I know it usually enhances but in this one it was over done😳😳😳

Great book

This has the same structure of Nora Roberts. It had a couple good twists. It was very well done The magic was felt through out.

great

i did not like the voice for Luke. it was not believable sounding. my only disappointment.

Fantastic!

From an avid Nora Roberts fan, this is one of her very best stories! The characters are wonderful.

FANTASTIC! Book Hit All My Marks Except Trashy Sex

Where does Honest Illusions rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is a great suspense and adventure thriller-full of twists and turns. I'll definitely listen again. I have over 200 books so it is hard to rank among so many-and many different genres.

What other book might you compare Honest Illusions to and why?

It is so unique that I cannot compare it to anything but it is fantastic. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys a romantic mystery.

As the daughter of a world-renowned magician who is equally accomplished as a jewel thief, Roxy Nouvelle inherits her father's genius. Dashing escape artist Luke Callahan also possesses a gift for relieving the wealthy of their valuables. Brought up together, Roxy and Luke are partners first in illusion, then in crime, and finally in passion.

But the shadow of his past stalks Luke, forcing him to vanish or see his loved one ruined. Years of hollow fame and lonely affluence pass before Roxy and Luke reunite to execute the most daring heist of their careers and to exact sweet revenge.

Any additional comments?

I enjoy books with graphic, mature scenes. This didn't have any so if you are looking for Lora Leigh or Maya Banks this isn't for you-however, if you've run out of those type (as I have) this is a great mystery with powerful characters, layers within the story line and romance.

Some [minor] cussing & [again minor] sexual innuendos.

Robotic romance

Wonderful story read by a robot. If you can stomach the author then this is worth a listen.

Good crime

So far this one is the best of all i have read from Nora. I enjoy her books as a break between harder crime as I usually am reading. I find that she have tendencies to quick finishes, this one is perfect! Good beginning, middle and not rushed finish. Story also very good. Not the usual i have had from her before. Interesting every minute!

Great read/listen

Loved this book! Loved the characters and the backgrounds it goes into! Would love to hear 2 different narrators for male and female voices!
