The fabulous Nora Roberts begins an exciting new series about four brothers in the small town of Antietam, beginning with THE RETURN OF RAFE MACKADE (4H). A successful builder comes home after a ten-year absence to buy and restore an old Civil War mansion and has his eye and heart caught by a high-spirited antique dealer. In addition to the scrumptious romance Ms. Roberts always provides, the relationship of the four brothers is a joy indeed to behold. Unfortunately, we have to wait until next December for the next sibling's tale. Está contido emTem a adaptação

Cleaned up and successful now--and still dangerously good-looking--Rafe MacKade sets the town on fire, and tongues wagging.

Regan and Rafe’s romance is your typical clash of wills storyline as Regan strives to maintain her independence in the face of her intense attraction to Rafe. The characters are well developed with enough detail concerning their pasts to make the conflict between the two believable. Moreover, the small town atmosphere and the dynamic between the MacKade brothers is wonderful, and their banter and antics make them completely irresistible.
The secondary plot revolving around Cassie and her abusive husband adds depth to an otherwise run of the mill romance because the issues raised are still as relevant today as they were when the book was originally published in 1995. It always astounds me how obtuse and idiotic the legal system is when it comes to spousal abuse.
Finally, the story of two civil war soldiers, one Union and the other Confederate, and their link to the Barlow house is both charming and heart-wrenching. Nevertheless, the connection between the ghostly occurrences in the house and Regan and Rafe’s relationship could have been better developed.
In sum, a relatively light hearted read, which reminded me of why I enjoy Nora’s writing so much.
