Definitely Angsty

Her Mother's Keeper was released in 1983 and it read like it. Gwen felt like she could try to control her mother's life. However, there is a blatant miscommunication between Gwen, her mother, and Luke. Gwen questioned how deep did her mother's relationship went with Luke. However, Gwen also wanted Luke. As for the man himself, he was purposely kept things vague. When she let him know that she wanted him, Luke said no. Yet, he kept her hanging on. I never thought I'd read a book that has a love triangle between a mother, a daughter, and a jackass (Luke). It is angsty though.

Really bad all around for a Nora Roberts book. Very disappointed! Would not recommend this book. But I am a huge Nora Roberts fa

Did not like male voice. Should have been stronger for his character. Seemed very wimpy to me.

dull

The story was dull with uninteresting characters. not worth the time or the price to buy

Was there an actual plot?

I used to say that Therese Plummer could read the phone book and I'd be mesmerized. But I couldn't get through this book. The lead female's southern accent was so whiny, and I gave up trying to find an actual plot a couple hours in.
