4.5 stars, rounded upAn excellent suspenseful romance, with the romance and the suspense beautifully balanced.Reece Gilmore was headed for super chef stardom…until her going away party at the family restaurant she’d worked in since she was sixteen was invaded by thrill killers and she, though critically wounded, was the only survivor of a mass murder. Now, two years later, still suffering from the PTSD that had her in a psychiatric hospital after she recovered from the gunshot wounds, she’s on a...

My experience with NR actually started with this book. Well, technically it was the adaptation of this book. In fact, I was a kid when I watched the movie on tv and I was so intrigued by the book itself. Fast forward a decade and so later, here I am.Reece is a mass shooting survivor and seeking for a job in a small lakeside town in Wyoming. She wasn't fully healed from the ordeal when one day she witnessed a murder. However, when the police checked out the site, there was no trace of any killing...

Tulips were her favorite flower. I love them too!

I enjoyed this one. The narrator was good but not great. It took me a little while to warm up to her.

Enjoyable characters. Reese and Brody were a great match. And the secondary characters were fun too.

I did figure out the bad guy somewhere in the middle but it didn't take away from the story at all.

Somewhere between 3 and 4 starsQuite enjoyable. Heavier on romance than on suspense for most of the book.Loved the small-town setting with all its quirks and follies though I wasn't too invested in the characters.The heroine was annoying as hell but she grew some backbone eventually and thankfully didn't ruin too much of the book for me. The hero was likable enough.The story was interesting but the mystery was a bit weak. I guessed the killer right from the beginning. The author gave him too muc...

Not bad, but also not good either.I mean, there are good parts, but they’re offset by little things I find annoying and there were a lot of these little things which accumulated at the end. So it was a bumpy read. The Montana setting and vivid descriptions of a small town sitting at the foot of the Grand Tetons were a nice touch though, and the main character was sympathetic. Easily my favorite part of the whole book was the setting. Everything else was mostly filler.A couple of weeks ago my nei...

Not my favorite of the great Nora. Of course its still Nora so... I think its the characters that bothered me. I liked Reese. Not loved because I kept thinking she should just leave Angel's Fist. But, hey, no story then. Her good points were many topped off with a love of cooking. Not my favorite thing to do, so anyone who wants to cook for me is my friend. 🍔😋 As for Brody? Didn't like him in the beginning and barely liked him in the end. Did I mention she liked to cook? Why did it take him s...

Sometimes, when I can't decide what to read next, I just pick up one of Nora Roberts' romantic suspense novels and I am never disappointed. Nora sure knows how to leave her readers satisfied. Angels Fall is one of those exceptionally well written, engaging NR style thriller with just the right pace, fast enough to keep one interested, but taking its time to build up the plot and characters. Based in a picturesque little town at the foot of the Grand Tetons, the story revolves around Reece Gilmor...
