#56: Unfinished Business by Nora Roberts (and a bit about #57)

After reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, I knew that my next book was going to be:

1. Easy to read and follow
2. A light-hearted romance
3. Not the least bit complicated in any way

Well..I accomplished all three goals with this short (158 pages) Nora Roberts romance.  I loved it, as I love almost all of her books.  Brady and Van (short for Vanessa) are two characters that you can't help but love for who they are independently and who they can be together.  If you happen to love books about musicians, this one might interest you, as well, as Van is a concert pianist.  Brady is just Brady and you love him for how uncomplicated he is.  Simply put, Unfinished Business is a good book for your beach bag, but probably not a good choice for your book club.  It's just too easy.  But after #56, I needed easy. 

I am already 100 pages in to my next book The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks.  I actually just closed the book (it's a real book, not a Nook book) and said aloud to whoever happened to be in the room, "I don't like where this book is going."  I am afraid of what might happen to one of the main characters, whose name (Dawson) I suddenly just love--too bad I am past my child bearing years because that would be a name contender, regardless of gender.  I also was crying by page 30.  Well...as Rob said, "It's Nicholas Sparks.  You buy the book, you buy tissues, you're all set."

I'm off to read.  Happy reading to you, too!
