Island of Glass

Good, an enjoyable read, but not my favorite of Nora Roberts's.

I'm sure there will be literally thousands of reviews of this book on GR, and I don't have anything unique to add to the analysis of how Nora Roberts somehow keeps releasing good to great books several times every year since the 1980s. I will just say that I was impressed by the significant contribution that good old fashioned research made to the plot of this series. Sure, one of the characters had visions that led the six Guardians in the right direction, but the background info that Riley's skills as an archeologist provided helped them target their search for the stars. Like the police work in the J.D. Robb In Death series, it isn't always dramatic, but it is important to the plot.

Oh and despite a somewhat slow start to the romance between Riley and Doyle, when they finally got together their relationship was both explosive and tender.
