Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley is a long way from Hollywood. And that’s exactly how Cilla McGowan wants it. Cilla, a former child star who has found more satisfying work as a restorer of old houses, has come to her grandmother’s farmhouse, tools at her side, to rescue it from ruin. Sadly, no one was able to save her grandmother, the legendary Janet Hardy. An actress with a tumultuous life, Janet entertained glamorous guests and engaged in decadent affairs—but died of an overdose in this very house more than thirty years earlier. To this day, Janet haunts Cilla’s dreams. And during waking hours, Cilla is haunted by her melodramatic, five-times-married mother, who carried on in the public spotlight and never gave her a chance at a normal childhood. By coming east, rolling up her sleeves, and rehabbing this wreck of a house, Cilla intends to find some kind of normalcy for herself.
Plunging into the project with gusto, she’s almost too busy to notice her neighbor, graphic novelist Ford Sawyer—but his lanky form, purple eyes, and easy, unflappable humour (not to mention his delightfully ugly dog, Spock) are hard to ignore. Determined not to perpetuate the family tradition of ill-fated romances, Cilla steels herself against Ford’s quirky charm, but she can’t help indulging in a little fantasy.
But love and a peaceful life may not be in the cards for Cilla. In the attic, she has found a cache of unsigned letters suggesting that Janet Hardy was pregnant when she died—and that the father was a local married man. Cilla can’t help but wonder what really happened all those years ago. The mystery only deepens with a series of intimidating acts and a frightening, violent assault. And if Cilla and Ford are unable to sort out who is targeting her and why, she may—like her world-famous grandmother— be cut down in the prime of her life.

Nora Roberts is one of my personal favorite authors. I generally read 4 books a month, but I am savoring they reading of
Tribute. I am very impressed with the characters and where the story is going. It is a must read for Nora Roberts fans and those that just want a good story line.

After some dismal writing of late, Nora Roberts is back in Tribute. I'm her biggest fan...if we're talking about the "Born In" series or The Quinn Brothers series or the "Daring To" series. These are great romances, and Nora Roberts is the best. But her recent books (Blood Brothers, the Hollow, Angel Falls, Northern Lights) have put me off. They were difficult to get into. In fact, I didn't finish any of them because I was bored. Tribute, however, shines with the Nora Roberts I've grown to love. I began to fear she couldn't pull off another great romance, but she did with Tribute. Get it. It's great reading.

I like Nora Roberts, I did enjoy the characters though it was very predictable. Not one of her best at all, but I will still pick up a book of hers to read regardless. Less just hope the subsequent book I cannot put the book down!

From Hollywood to the Shenandoah Valley, Cilla McGowan, former child star, returns to her former movie star grandmother, Janet Hardy's, "Little Farm" in Virgina. All too soon she finds out that someone holds a vendetta against her now deceased grandmother and is taking it out on Cilla. She has returned "home" to pay tribute to her grandmother's old and battered farm and make it her own. Having a background in flipping houses, Cilla sees this old house and its surrounding property being restored and making it her own, however, someone else wants her back in Hollywood. Nora once again weaves a beautiful and suspenseful story. The description of the "Little Farm" and the work that Cilla puts into it is so clearly visualized to the reader, that you can almost see the home being restored. The climax to the mystery will take you by surprise, however, the book keeps moving from the very beginning, never slacking, as our heroine has flashbacks and dreams of her famous grandmother and days gone by. Ford Sawyer, her graphic artist neighbor and Cilla McGowan are an intriguing duo. I really enjoyed Cilla's mom, Dilly, and her Beverly Hills drama; it brought some very well-done comic relief to a serious story. Cilla's bonding with her estranged father was nothing less than heartwarming and played out in a very realistic manner. "Tribute" is a compliment to Nora Roberts and a gift to her readers.
