Book description

From Nora Roberts comes the #1 New York Times bestseller Shelter in Place (June 2018)―a powerful tale of heart, heroism...and propulsive suspense.

Why read it?

2 authors picked Shelter in Place as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

From the first page of Shelter in Place, the characters sucked me into their lives, had me cheering for them, crying for them, and holding my breath through terrifying situations.

The feisty female main character doesn’t want romance nor rescuing but that doesn’t mean she won’t get it. The “bad guy” comes up with enough getaway tricks to rival James Bond, and will leave you asking, “wow, what next”? I read this in one riveting stretch; absolutely could not put it down.

Nora Roberts is a publishing phenomenon. She’s written at least 200 books over the course of her writing career, and, astounding as it is to believe, they keep getting better.

Shelter in place takes us into the world of terrorists and their victims and follows Simone Knox and Reed Quartermaine as they rebuild their lives after a mass shooting in a shopping mall.

If you like a love story wrapped in heart-in-the-mouth story-telling with some exquisitely written sex scenes thrown in, then I recommend this book.
