The Welcoming

By: Nora Roberts

Narrated by: Christian Rummel

A tale of danger and desire from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts, The Welcoming follows a man in pursuit of a master criminal risking more than his life when he meets a woman who steals his heart.

Charity Ford’s seaside inn on Orcas Island is a home away from home for people seeking the simple pleasures in life. Falling prey to a hit-and-run accident has made Charity even more aware of how precious life is. But what she doesn’t know is some of her guests are not who they appear to be. Some are involved in illegal activities—and they’re responsible for Charity’s near death experience. Enter Roman DeWinter, an undercover federal agent on a mission to bring the criminals to justice. He failed to protect Charity once but now he’ll do anything to keep her safe.

Critic reviews

“Skillfully pairs a fast-paced tale of love and danger with a plot laced with tantalizing domestic details. Guaranteed to delight Roberts' legion of fans.”—Booklist

Not my favorite

Not my favorite. No build up of relationship. Story line was missing a lot of details. I just wasn’t crazy about it, I love Nora but this wasn’t my favorite.

This hasn’t aged well.

Love the location!! Orcas Island is amazing! I have vacationed there due to this book.

Nora is amazing in her location descriptions.

Not my favorite

A good story could have been here, but to me it wasn’t developed enough. Overall the timeframe seemed to be a week or two and I’m not sure how people can fall in “deep love” and be so trusting so fast. That doesn’t seem to fit Charity’s character.

Very dated

You can tell this one is written in the 80’s. It is not as good as Robert’s newer books.

Just meh

Not NR’s best, but not bad. It’s too short to have any real relationship building. Just left me feeling meh.
