OMG - this is the Nora Roberts I love - great heroine - she's creative, independent, a bit of a loner, outdoorsy, modern, a little bit of a tom-boy and has a passion/career she loves.And the plot is really good - who hasn't imagined running away to a small town surrounded by grand natural beauty to start a simple new life. It's an escapist's dream!
The only gripe I have with this is the romantic lead, Brody, is a little too pushy - there are moments where Roberts goes too far in my opinion. Some women want a take charge guy but there's a line between "take-charge" and abusive - this character is borderline emotionally abusive in his responses to the female lead's panic attacks (well-earned given her backstory). She continually says, "Works for" her but it made me bristle a number of times. As its fiction and I was so enjoying other aspects of the story and characters, I let it go but it certainly stuck in my craw.
I wish more of Robert's characters were such modern women. That the lead didn't have a lot of biological family around her was refreshing too - many of Robert's books feature families that are large, ridiculously supportive, wealthy and there to catch every fall - it can get a bit much for those of us not so gifted.

Angels Fall Nora Roberts Joyce Bean 9781491515228 Books Reviews
I must say, this novel intrigued me. I could tell instantly there was going to be so many bright colors in the objects and surroundings of the storyline. Nora Roberts always seems to detail her stories with tons of rivetting color. The beginning of the book almost reminded me of the other nature-tastic book she wrote, Rivers End.
The plot is poor I found as I continued reading. The fear and mystery is poor. The romance is debateable. The only thing that seems real are the feelings of paranoia the main character deals with, and the wanting to escape. She wants to get away. Keep moving and get away from the past.
I think the novel could have been better had Nora added some elements of deeper relationships instead of moving the plot around so much. It seemed confusing, and eventually uninteresting. Sadly, I will be getting rid of this one. It is not worth holding onto for my keeper shelf.
I have over a dozen favorite authors, in all genres, but NR is definitely on the list. First off, I'm amazed that she has been such a prolific writer, while continuing to crank out the level of entertainment she provides. Yeah, much of her work is frequently described as formulaic, but when I need a relaxing, comfort read, I turn to NR. Nora and a little piece of chocolate and I'm healed.
I loved this read! It was like a brief vacation, with Nora's ability to so perfectly describe the environment. I could almost smell the fresh, crisp air of the Grand Tetons and sense the critters hiding in the mountains and swimming in the streams. It made me wish to pitch a tent and stay a while.
Then here comes Reece, sputtering into town in her overheated Chevy Cavalier, battling severe PTSD, with mistrust of everyone, including herself. She hasn't been able to land and stay anywhere very long. She's been on an aimless journey, running from herself and her own emotions, after a near death experience. Her car trouble grounds her long enough, that she begins to realize she can't change anything about her past, except her reactions to it. She learns she needs to fortify her backbone. Some of it---the hard way.
The secondary characters are very entertaining, particularly Brody who shows guarded interest in Reece. She's cute, but he's just not that interested, until he is involuntarily dragged into what may have been a murder scene, witnessed by Reece. Or, is Reece just a little unreliable, considering her traumatic event? Many would say she has the right to have some brief, reactive psychotic episodes, considering her past. She does come off a little quirky, sometimes. Time will tell.
The Cafe patrons', where Reece lands a job, are fun to visit with and you feel like you're sitting at the counter, sipping a cup of coffee, while eavesdropping. The cantankerous Cafe owner is a hoot. She is...and isn't, what she appears to be, on many levels. I found her a delightful dichotomy between Drill Sergeant and nurturer, in a crusty, believable way.
If you're a NR fan, I'm quite sure you will find much to love with this read. And, if you're not, you probably still will, too. It's a great reminder that women have internal strength that can pull us through almost anything---if we just remember to make it our mission to connect with it---regularly. Also, that women need to stand up and mentor other women in crisis. We are one!
Angel's Fall is another romance coming from the imagination of the acclaimed Nora Roberts filled with suspense, mystery, intrigue and a cast of believable characters. So get comfortable in your easy chair for a slow moving enjoyable book.
Reece Gilmore is driving and driving trying to escape the horror of a night that has left her with panic attacks, nightmares and a fear that chokes the breathe out of her until her car starts smoking in the calm Wyoming town of Angels Fist. Population 623. Before long, Reece takes a job in a local restaurant cooking and stays for a while until that itch comes around and she needs to get back on the road.
While Reece is out hiking she witness' a man & woman fighting. Out of fear she rushes back and stumbles into the towns brooding loner Brodie. She convinces him to return to the sight but there is nothing. No one believes her thinking she has an overactive imagination, before long strange things start happening to Reece that create even more paranoia.
Despite her desire to stay for a short while and leave she is developing some strong relationships with a few people in this sleepy little town. Joanie the owner of the little restaurant has taken her under her wing. Now, Brodie gets involved more that he is willing to admit.
The murderer is a surprise!
I am always amazed how Ms. Roberts can get inside the head of some of the most unlikely characters. Angels Fall is one of her better novels in my opinion. I almost couldn't put it down until I thought I knew who the villain was; then was totally surprised when I was proven wrong. Great Read!
