The Last Honest Woman

The O'Hurleys, Book 1

De: Nora Roberts

Narrado por: Marie Caliendo

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts, a cynical reporter’s relentless pursuit of the truth turns into an obsession with his subject—a young widow shadowed by secrets—in The Last Honest Woman, the first O’Hurleys novel.

Abigail O’Hurley Rockwell’s husband was a racing car legend behind the wheel, winning championships with a fearless skill and speed that claimed his life in a tragic and—some would say—reckless crash. Heartbroken, Abby wants nothing more than to raise her two sons in peace, but journalist Dylan Crosby is penning a book about her infamous husband’s life, determined to expose the man’s hidden past. But Abby is not a spoiled trophy wife Dylan can easily charm. She is a woman of integrity and mystery desperate to keep him at arm’s length—even as their desires for one another are on an unalterable collision course.

Sweet Story

Short listen but made you feel good. Predictably a romance novel, with likable characters. Worth reading.

Authentic story

Vivid writing takes me to the scenes described. Because the writing was so descriptive and creative I would lose track of time

Nora Roberts remains the Queen!

Starts a bit slow but makes up for it as the story continues. A very EASY listen.

Excellent reader

The story was interesting and kept me wanting to see how it would end. It ended well.

Characters

Liked the story and flow. Enjoyed the three sisters and mother and father together. All very different

Really good

This is a good book, the narrator did a wonderful job. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Good series send-off

Nora Roberts’ writing usually gives me pleasure and there are often elements that “speak to me”; I found that with this first in her series, “The O ‘Hurleys: Abby raises Morgan horses, enjoys the various tasks of that, including the mucking out of the stalls, finds soul satisfaction in the communion with the horses, their silken coats, their distinctive scents & deep gazes. There’s nothing quite like this connection and satisfaction and Nora Roberts knows how to describe it.
I enjoyed the other characters in this first of the series and when done, previewed the following three, deciding to skip over the next two and go directly to number 4; I’m not sorry I chose to do so. Number four nicely summed up all I cared about and “Trace” was a really interesting character.
Each of the four books in this series is only a bit over seven hours listening time and, at either nearly $18 or at the cost of one credit, that’s not much content per dollar.

Sweet Love Story

I enjoyed this novel. Simple, engaging and heartwarming. Nora certainly has a way with words.

Awesome read!

Great story that kept you wanting to not stop. Best I’ve experienced in quite a while…. Nora rocked this one!

Very enjoyable

Really liked characters. Cannot wait to dive into the next book with the O’Hurleys and their antics.
