The Collector by Nora Roberts Book Summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts comes a novel about a woman who needs nothing, a man who sees everything, and the web of deceit, greed and danger that brings them together—and could tear them apart...
 
When professional house-sitter Lila Emerson witnesses a murder/suicide from her current apartment-sitting job, life as she knows it takes a dramatic turn. Suddenly, the woman with no permanent ties finds herself almost wishing for one...
 
Artist Ashton Archer knows his brother isn’t capable of violence—against himself or others. He recruits Lila, the only eyewitness, to help him uncover what happened. Chalking up their intense attraction to the heat of the moment, Lila agrees to help Ash try to find out who murdered his brother and why. From the penthouses of Manhattan to grand Italian villas, their investigation draws them into a rarefied circle where priceless antiques are bought, sold, gambled away and stolen; where what you possess is who you are; and where what you desire becomes a deadly obsession...

Best of Nora Robert’s work.. This was a joy to read from the first page to the last. One of the rare finds that is so good you can’t put it down until the end. It is hard to find a book that has everything. The excitement and the way you feel like you have found your new best friends !

So boring!!. Where are the quirky, fun characters?? Where is the plot? Where's the romance? Where is any movement....At all......Halfway through this book and it's SO BORING!!!! Ugh! Did Ms Roberts get a ghost-writer? Because this is so bad and so not like her books!

The Collector. It was such a great read. A strong main story line with wonderful interesting character stories intertwining. Exciting, touching, intense and dramatic.

Wonderful!!!. What a wonderful book! I absolutely love the way Nora writes and how it draws you right in!

Well worth adding to your collection!. The Collector is another great book by Nora Roberts! Romance, suspense, intrigue, adventure, mystery, excitement, and constant surprises make this a great book! I think she has written better books, but I totally enjoyed reading this, and I think her fans will love it!

Ridiculous. Couldn’t even bring myself to finish it. The characters are BORING or worse just plain unlikeable, especially Lila. The story itself is completely far fetched and there is a huge plot hole. I won’t spoil it but will just say the two main characters could have gotten themselves out of harm’s way in the first half of the book by just letting the police handle it. I am shocked this book has the ratings it does.

The Collector. This was a great book, very suspenseful, and lots of romance as well. The ending took me by surprise, and I just enjoyed reading the book from the beginning to the end. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys suspenseful situations and how the characters overcome them.

The Collector. Fabulous book. I fell in love with these characters and found the suspense delightfully titillating. I wish I could forget it - so I could enjoy it all over again. Thank you Nora. Please give us another very soon.

The collector. Worst book I've read in a long time. Story's plot doesn't seem real. Seems like the author tried too hard.

Loved it!!!. This was exactly what I expected from nora Roberts! She is one of my favorite authors and I have never known her to not deliver an amazing story!!

Never dissapoints!!. I have been a big fan for many years, I have read every book, some many times. I love the way she builds, layers the characters like you know them personally. She draws you in. You think you know what's going to happen and then you're wrong. I leave her newest novel for last to read because I know it's going to be the best! Unfortunately , I can't put it done and usually get through it in a day or so. Then I'm left wanting more, so immersed in the story and the characters. Sigh... Can't wait for the next!!! Love you Ms. Roberts ! Never stop writing, please! ; )

The Collector. Excellent book. Full of suspense. Think it would be fun to have another story with these characters. Would like to see their stories continued!

Collector. Fabulous

The collector. Fantastic story so well written you were with them every step of the way. Felt the love and the fear as though I was there

Wonderful story. Such a great story line about an author and artist finding love throughout turmoil!

The collector. This was a great combination of romance and intrigue. Caught up from start to finish.

Favorite Nora so far. I've read several of Nora Roberts' trilogies, and have always found them entertaining and escapist, if a bit formulaic at times (but it works, so not a real criticism!). I loved this book...loved the main characters, the dialogue, the action and the storyline. It was a nice departure from her trilogies, and has me wanting to read a few of her JD Robb books.

Great Story. An enjoyable read! Great writing, funny at times. Intriguing story.

Meh. The concept for the book is okay, and is evening exciting at parts. The main issue is that the dialogue is awful, the characters are relatable and are so one dimensional. It's almost painful to read parts where they're speaking to each other because all I could think was, no one talks like that! I'm generally a Nora Roberts fan, so I'm not sure why this book seems less realistic and true to form than usual. I would also add that parts of the plot, especially in the beginning, take HUGE leaps that it expects you to just go along with. For example, the two main characters meet unexpectedly, by just happening to be in the same place at the same time, then happen to be followed by the killer for a reason that is loose at best, then become soul mates in like three days, and begin an adventure?? Sorry but it just didn't work for me. I keep having to make myself finish reading.

Thrilling!. As always Nora's characters pull you in and I just couldn't stop reading. Great descriptions Realistic scenarios and a very quirky charming heroine

The Collector. I read this just to finish it. It's about as deep as a Harlequin Romance novel. Not my favorite.

Love this book. I think Nora Roberts is an exceptional writer, with a great talent for painting a picture with words. I love all of her books and, this one I never wanted to end. The characters, story lines and just a bit of history about the Romanovs, were, I think, fascinating.

The collector. Beautifully written but a bit too fantastical

The Collector. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Lila, our heroine, was so cute and I loved the way she viewed things. There was plenty of intrigue, suspense, murder, and of course, romance. I can definitely see this as a fun movie.

Great read. This was a fun, suspenseful book to read. Although it was completely predictable, it was fun to see how everything would be tied together.

Great!. One of my favorite Nora Roberts yet it combines the tale of a mystery and romance something that I love in complete balance. The pace was kind of rushed for me but other than that it was extremely enjoyable summer read

Another Great One. Couldn't put it down! Great read

The collector. Wonderful start to finish!!! True Nora Roberts form, excellent read!!

Classic Nora. Unique story, beguiling characters. Turn the first page and she's got you. This author does her research -- you always learn something new when you are reading her work. Right now I want to know more about The Romanovs and have a holy yen to become a house sitter.

Good. This is a good book. Solid story. I'm disappointed that the characters didn't grab me like I was anticipating. At times the dialog was short and choppy. I've noticed that in the last few Roberts books, it's irritating. I wanted to escape into this story and get carried away by it, but it didn't happen. The story is good and solid, but the element that makes a reader fall in love with the story was missing.

The Collector. This book was intriguing to the last word. But I didn't understand the title until the last w chapters. Outstanding, Bob Berschauer

Huge disappointment. The most compelling character was a teacup poodle. Felt forced, which is how I got through it. I forced myself. Forgettable characters, forgettable storyline. Not your usual Nora Roberts' story.

A fascinating tale of danger!. I loved it!!! Everything about this book reeks of danger, love, and fantasy. It was wonderful!!

Excellent Read!!. This is my absolute favorite book by Nora Roberts. The story is great. Couldn’t put it down!!

Simply Awesome!. Page turner from beginning to end!

Excellent. Nora has done it again. Love her books!

The Collector. I LOVED IT!!

The Collector. The author writes the same story in all her books it seems. Different names (sometimes even the names are the same) but always about some independent woman quickly falls for handsome man who saves the day. The author repeats the same lines and same scenes in her books. Totally surprised that she's had success she is very mediocre

The Collector. Superb book, keeping the reader in suspense throughout.

Great book!. I really enjoyed this book. It won't won a Pulitzer Prize (thus the 4 stars)' but I have to hand it to her - she had descriptive phrases about Italy that literally gave me goose bumps, and in the 1,000+ books I've read! that's never happened. It was an unexpected plus, but I did enjoy the characters and the plot also. Read it, you'll be entertained and maybe you'll get a goosebumps ortwo while you're at it.

Personally I just couldn't get into this book!. I love Nora Roberts books. This book took me a while to read because I just couldn't make myself get into it like I always do her books. It was slow and about 500 pages longer than necessary. Giving it three stars because it's Nora Roberts anybody else and it would have been two!

The Collectable. Absolutely wonderful! I love her books. Had me from the first!

The collector. Loved this book, could not put it down, the author hooks you in the first few pages.

WONDERFUL!. This was great. If you don't always read Nora Roberts books because they all feel the same then you SHOULD read this one. It was closer to the in death books in quality. I laughed should hard my sides hurt! I want more! I hope that Nora turns this into a series because these are wonderful characters! Please write more about this family and these specific characters !!!

Good read. This book was good from start to finish and had an excellent story line.

the Collector. The main character reminded me of the movie Legally Blonde- dog and all. This is a silly book- to be deleted from my book shelf!

Fabulous Read. I loved this story--but surely this is only the beginning of an Lila and Ash saga. I need more! Well done, Nora; well done!

The Collector. I pretty much read only Nora Roberts books. I can honestly say that I have enjoyed each and every one, but this one is my all time favorite. She told a great story in an interesting way. Every girl dreams of finding someone like Ash. I certainly did. I found my soulmate. Renae Duran

More. Sometimes I wish writers would add more at the end, so they are going to get married or have kids. Why can’t writers add 10 o 20 pages more to the stories……..

Brilliant. I don't usually write reviews but I had to make an exception this time. Once I started this book I couldn't stop reading it and when I was able to take a break from reading I ended up thinking about lila and wishing to go back to the book and find out what happened next.

Wow - Nora’s best yet!. Gripping from 1st to last page! I want more of Lila and Ash!

The collector. Disappointing. Does not seem like her usual compelling writing.

Fantastic read!. Amazing book! Had me enthralled after the first chapter couldn't put it down!
