| | Three Fates
by
Nora Roberts
Three Fates is far from Roberts's first book (actually, it's her 145th), but it's a fine place to start -- as fans and critics have noted, Nora Roberts just gets better with age. This volume, the story of two brothers and a sister who try to track down a stolen family heirloom, has all the Roberts trademarks: sex, love, intrigue, adventure -- and Irishmen.

'The Prince Is a Bonus'
| "I'm not interested in telling stories about weak women ... Or if they're weak, I want to show how they grow and how they become strong," Roberts told Book magazine. "I'm not writing about Cinderella sitting waiting for her prince to come and take her away. She'll get out of it herself. The prince is a bonus, a completion, another element -- but it's not the answer to all of her problems."
