Legacy by Nora Roberts

Image
  This is first time I read Nora Roberts book. I really enjoyed the characters but I felt like I got bit lost with what the plot was about. I ended up skipping some pages just to get past the chatting bits with her friends. I would say it had much suspense in it. I felt like the story was going on to much. I think the story could be bit shorter. I still would read more of Nora Roberts books but I was bit disappointed with this one. Thank you NetGalley and eARC for providing me with a copy of this book
