Read chapter one of Nora Roberts’s Come Sundown! The Bodine ranch and resort in western Montana is a family business, an idyllic spot for vacationers. A little over thirty thousand acres and home to four generations, it’s kept running by Bodine Longbow with the help of a large staff, including new hire Callen Skinner. There was another member of the family once: Bodine’s aunt, Alice, who ran off … Alice, who ran off before Bodine was born. She never returned, and the Longbows don’t talk about her much. The younger ones, who never met her, quietly presume she’s dead. But she isn’t. She is not far away, part of a new family, one she never chose–and her mind has been shattered…
When a bartender leaves the resort late one night, and Bo and Cal discover her battered body in the snow, it’s the first sign that danger lurks in the mountains that surround them. The police suspect Cal, but Bo finds herself trusting him–and turning to him as another woman is murdered and the Longbows are stunned by Alice’s sudden reappearance. The twisted story she has to tell about the past–and the threat that follows in her wake–will test the bonds of this strong family, and thrust Bodine into a darkness she could never have imagined.

I loved this book. The romance, the mystery, the setting, the characters, they all drew me in. I stayed up until 3am finishing the book.
Come Sundown kept me reading. I didn’t want to put it down. The characters are great and was very entertaining.
Great story line as always with Nora Roberts. A great read for your enjoyment.
Love this author.
Come sundown by Nora Roberts
The family business is running the ranch.
Bo runs it when Alice Bodine and she’s returning home with all of her posssessions.
She recalls what had drawn her away…
The story moves to the present day where we find Maureen ahead of her schedule.
Other ranchers would be doing their chores. She runs the resort.
Love the idea of what all the resort offers, all inclusive for sure. Like ideas for the winter holidays to draw more to the area.
Story alternates between the ranch and resort to what Alice is going through.
Like hearing of all the relationships, in all different age groups.
The stories do combine towards the end when clues start getting solved. Love this book although it left me so scared and things were happening.
Would make a great series with so many characters in the family.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
As soon as I cracked the cover on this one I knew I had stumbled onto something really good, it lured me from the first chapter and kept me completely captivated with each page I turned after. The story line was suspenseful, compelling, and riddled with intense emotion that hit me to the core. Highly recommend this one, it’s sure to take you on an unforgettable literary ride!!
Another great story from Nora Roberts. She is my favorite author.
Enjoyed this book by Nora Roberts very much. She is one of my favorite authors and I try to read all of her books as they all keep me entertained. This one was one of the really good ones.
Love Nora Roberts books
I’ve loved Nora’s books since I was a teenager, and she’s one of the authors who influenced me tremendously in my own writing career. I admire her ability to write in several genres and to draw the reader into the worlds she creates, whether it’s romance, thriller or police procedurals. Amazingly accomplished author!
Very rarely quit reading a book, then came this one. Read the first half crawling through it. It moved extremely show and skipped back and forth in time and subjects haphazardly. What got me was the amount of violence, including very graphic rape scenes and disgusting human cruelty bordering on torture. Finally skipped to the last chapter just to have it over with. Can’t believe this is written by Nora Roberts. She rarely disappoints and this one was the worst books by any author that I have ever tried to read.
Nora Roberts does it again!! Surprise after surprise throughout the book. Great characters and wonderful plot. She never fails to keep my interest throughout each of her books I’ve read.
There is nothing I can add to her acclaim, I sure it’s all been said. Wonderful!
I have read most of Nora Roberts’s books. She has great characters and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Kept me on the edge of my seat for days until I could finish reading it.
I love Nora Roberts and have read everyone of her books. This one was so disappointing. It was a little dark and I didn’t really believe the characters. It’s almost as if someone else wrote this book for her.
This book was so amazing. Loved all the characters. I laughed and cried for some. Very suspenseful. Was not sure how it would end. Fill like they should have another book after this.
I love any book by Nora Roberts but this was a really good one. It was sad yet had a happy ending, Kept me wanting to keep reading until I finished it.
I love everything Nora Roberts writes.
Very good. Knew who did it but the twists were great. Kept me guessing. Good ending.
