Sacred Sins (Sacred Sins Series #1)

Terrific Read

I have to say this is one of the best Nora Roberts books I have read and I have read over 50 of them. This one was different because it was not a romance but the main characters were romantically involved even if they didn't want to be. The story line was a real page-turner. Ben was a hunk without even trying. Tess was a cool chick but you really got to like her. Ben and Ed were great partners and I had to laugh out loud over some of the dialog. I wholeheartedly recommend this one.

Outstanding Story

This was the first Nora Roberts book I read and my eyes stayed glued to the book until it was finished. The book was one of the best I've read in a long time, and had a little of everything...love and mystery. I thought I had the killer pegged, but much to my surprise I was dead wrong. I just loved Ben Paris and wouldn't mind if he protected me for awhile either. The only fault I found with this book was that it had an abrubt ending and I was looking for more. This is a must read book for your library.

Sacred Sin

Why is this not listed as a reprint. And that being the case why are all 3 being listed. Even more so why is the price so high for the paperback and the Nook for a book that is 25 years old? Not real happy with reprints being the same price as originals.

The series is excellent anyway for that time period styling.

This is a Reprint!

It's a good book but it is, indeed a reprint. I wanted to let folks know cause I HATE it when I buy a book under the guise of being new.....

Boring

This book was just plain boring. I couldnt even finish it. Wast of money. Oh well, on to the next book.

Yawn Yawn

I have read most of Nora Robert's books. I was very disappointed with this book. The romance between Tess and Ben was blah and not intense at all. The serial killer lacked mystery and excitement. Nora missed the mark on this book.

A Nice Summer Read

It was a great summer read, kept you in suspense almost the whole time. I just wish the Priest was someone much more involved in the plot, otherwise it was decent book.

highly recommended

Nora Roberts is an awesome author. I have read a lot of her books and found very little that I have not liked. This book was exceptional.

Not Good

I have read several books by Roberts and I am constantly asking myself "Why?" This is an example of a very boring and unimaginative thriller. The romance between the two main characters was boring and tepid. The serial killer was neither scary nor believable. All in all it was a sorry excuse for a romantic thriller. There were no thrills and there was no steamy romance.

Love Tess and Ben!!!

One of the better Nora Roberts books. Loved the way Tess and Ben's relationship evolves. How opposites "do" attract, and how they really connect on different levels, Only thing I didnt like, was that it ended way too fast. I almost gave it 4 stars because of that. But I liked the story so much and the Tess and Ben characters are the best so far. Have only read 5 Nora Roberts books so far, but I do so hope that there are more of the Sacred Sins Series coming up....love the story line. Also read Brazen, pretty good, but this one MUCH better.

One of My Favorite Nora Roberts Books!

The plot is interesting, and, written in 1987, is a bit of a blast from the past in terms of police work and technology. The main characters' interactions are my favorite part...Tess and Ben are so great together, whether fighting or romancing each other. The other characters are interesting and well-developed; I enjoyed the squad-room scenes. The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the Joey storyline. I get that it was important to help understand Tess a bit better, and help Ben bond with her, but I found those tangents a bit too lengthy. All in all, I keep coming back to this book because it's entertaining and the characters make you fall in love with them.
