9. Taming Natasha

By Nora Roberts (256 pp, ebook)

For book club we decided to read some older Nora and some newer Nora to discuss. This is a category that I already had and enjoyed it more than I expected. It was a standard romance -- sad widower moves to small town to raise his daughter and meets and is instantly attracted to a ravishing beauty with a hidden, painful past who resists him. This was from 1990 and there were things you wouldn't put in a romance now but it was satisfying bus reading.
