Her job as a sheriff’s deputy keeps her busy and happy, and she has no trouble finding men when she wants them-which, lately, isn’t all that often. Ripley Todd just wants to live a quiet, peaceful kind of life. Heaven and Earth by Nora Roberts (book 2) These three together have a bond that Nell knows nothing about, Ripley denies with a vengence,and Mia feels to her core that they are the three sisters of the island. Nell escapes to the Three Sisters Island where whe meets the strong willed Ripley who works at the ploice station and the magnificent Mia who owns the local book store and coffee shop. This book is about Nell and the abusive husband she finds a way to leave… at least she believes she has. The story line is fantastic! I love our three characters – Nell, Ripley, and Mia. I have to tell you, this is not your typical Nora Roberts book. At the time I had not branched out into a lot of new authors (thus the book club) and so Nora seemed safe for a start. It is the book that started The Bookies Book Club in August 2001. My thoughts: This book will always hold a special place in my heart. With the help of her “charmed” confidantes, Mia and Ripley, will Nell be able to stop Evan from destroying the happiness she’s finally found? Nell has just found a new love with Zack Todd but she’s haunted by her abusive husband, Evan, the man she fled from eight months ago. Meet Mia, Nell and Ripley, all witches, and the enchanting descendants of the island’s founding trio. Leaving you spellbound every step of the way, bestselling author Nora Roberts takes you to Three Sisters Island, where a fabled lighthouse beckons three young women to seek their true destinies. Eventually I hope to transfer them here…. I have years worth of notes in three ring binders. Before I blogged, I used to journal everything I read.

I am in the mood to review this morning and as I sit in the reading room I have a direct line to my book shelf that holds my all time favorites.
