This was a fantastic book, one that kept you reading, and waiting for the next page. The leader is fantastic. If you want to read a book that goes straight to your heart, read Stolen Moments by Barbara Jeanne Fisher. . .It is a gorgeous tale of unrequited like. . .for certain the like tale of the nineties. I proposed to give the book a quick read, but I got so caught up in the tale that I couldn’t place the book down. From the very beginning, I was fully caught up in the heart-wrenching account of Julie Hunter’s battle with lupus and her growing like for Don Lipton. This like, in the face of Julie’s impending death, makes for a tale that covers the range of human emotions. The touches of humor are fantastic, too, they add some nice contrast and lighten things a bit when emotions are running high. I’ve never read a book more deserving of being published. It has rare depth. Julie’s tale will remind your readers that life and like are precious and not to be taken for granted. It has had an impact on me, and for that I’m grateful. Stolen Moments is written with so much sensitivity that it made me want to weep. It is a spellbinder. What terrific writing. Barbara does have an exceptional gift! This book was edited by Lupus specialist Dr. Matt Morrow too, and has the latest information on that disease. ..A perfect gift for a name who ongoing college late in life, fell in like too late in life, is living with any illness, or trying to know a loved one who is. . .A gift to be cherished forever.

As a fan of Nora Roberts, I was extremely disappointed and personally offended that she so freely used the word “nigger” and additional derogatory language in telling her tale in Carnal Innocence. As an African American, I establish myself unable to get pass these racial slurs as an unnecessary diversion from the main plot.
As a successful white writer, I judge that Ms. Roberts (and all writers) has a responsibility to make tales that do not offend additional racial or ethnic groups — even in trying to “accurately” described the setting.
I am disturbed that she establish it acceptable to continue to use the “n” word and had several characters suddenly willing to[commit such treacherous acts] in modern day America (in depicting tiny town racist stereotypes to the hilt), as though she could care less what African Americans and additional racially conscious readers thought (…).
I would never recommend this novel to anyone who is trying to get past racism in America and does not need to be reminded of the worst kinds of racial prejudice in what is supposed to be an enjoyable romantic suspense work of fiction!
Furthermore, I am disappointed that the novel is listed in many online bookstore sites as new,when in fact, it first came out in 1991. This is exploitation at its worst (and likely the fault of the money hungry publisher more than the leader)!
Nevertheless, I will have to give some thought to purchasing any future Roberts novels after the sour taste this one has left in my mouth!

This book was pretty excellent. It didn’t really fully satisfy any one genre, but. . .if you’re looking for a mystery you’ll be left feeling unsatisfied, and if you’re looking for a romance novel it also comes up fleeting. Visually, Roberts does an brilliant job of setting up characters and settings, but the characters, while likable, seem an unlikely match and I establish myself never truly rooting too fervently for either of them.

I am a Mississippian. Very few people have names like Edda Lou or Billy T unless they star on HEEHAW! Nora Roberts’ fans, as I have been, should know that people are not as backwards in Mississippi as this book suggests. I kept reading to see if the ending made my $5.95 worth it. Roberts was really verging on a fantastic plot but the characters made the book laughable. Mississippi may be guilty of “Innocence” but it is certainly not stupid. Save your money.

… I like a sexy murder mystery as much as anyone (on the additional hand, I guess not), but I kept doing double takes as I kept going through the book. I establish I was reading a tale about a bunch of characters that make “Hee Haw” and “The Dukes of Hazzard” look like high-brow art. Every woman has two first names, everybody carries a gun, everybody has a Jack Daniels intravenous tube attached. You would reflect there would be no place to go around in Mississippi, as everyone’s activities during all their waking hours are enough to populate every square inch of the state.
I was doing the double takes because at first I thought it was a satire. I like the tales of Carl Hiassen, who writes about characters like this all the time, but with a devilish style that lets you in on the joke. But no such tone here, as this is meant to be a serious novel.
I permanently liked the works of Southern authors like Pat Conroy and Carl Hiassen, and thought the people they wrote about were representations of that area of the country. Reading this book, one does indeed get the impression that all the women down there DO have two first names, everyone DOES carry a gun, the corn likker comes out of the drinking fountains, and the folks make the mating habits of rabbits look downright modest!
Forgive me if this book brings out my cynical streak.
