Sandy M’s review of Mind Games by Nora Roberts
Paranormal Romantic Suspense published by St. Martin’s Press 21 May 24

Nora Roberts’ romantic suspense stories over the last number of years have been outstanding, and when she adds that paranormal aspect too, you get one hell of a book from an author whose writing gets better every year, and that’s saying something, because Ms. Roberts has been writing for a lot of years now. For me, she’s one of the best out there, and I hope we get stories from her for years to come.
