Story
At 25, Princess Adrianne lives a life most people would envy. Beautiful and elegant, she spends her days dabbling in charities and her nights floating from one glamorous gala to the next. But her pampered-rich-girl pose is a ruse, a carefully calculated effort to hide a dangerous truth. For 10 years Adrianne has lived for revenge. As a child, she could only watch the cruelty hidden behind the facade of her parents' fairy-tale marriage. Now she has the perfect plan to make her famous father pay.

Story
Photographer Jo Ellen Hathaway thought she'd escaped the house called Sanctuary long ago. She'd spent her loneliest years there, after the sudden, unexplained disappearance of her mother. Yet the sprawling inn on an island off the Georgia coast continues to haunt her dreams. And now, even more haunting are the pictures someone is sending her: strange close-ups and candids, culminating in the most shocking portrait of all - a photo of her mother - naked, beautiful, and dead.

Story
Little else in life is as dangerous as fire jumping. Flying past towering pillars of smoke, parachuting down to the edge of an all-consuming blaze, shoveling and sawing for hours upon hours, days at a time, all to hold the line and push back against the raw power of Mother Nature. But there’s also little else as thrilling - at least to Rowan Tripp. The Missoula smoke jumpers are one of the most exclusive firefighting squads in the nation, and the job is in Rowan’s blood: her father is a legend in the field. She’s been fighting fires since her eighteenth birthday.

Publisher's Summary
New York Times best-selling novelist Nora Roberts captivates millions of fans with her provocative blend of scorching passion and chilling suspense. With Carnal Innocence, she creates a gripping tale of murder, infatuation, and true love in a small southern town. After beautiful concert violinist Caroline Waverly breaks up with her conductor and lover Luis, she escapes to her late grandmother’s home in Innocence, Mississippi. Instead of peace and tranquility, however, she finds the town torn with suspicion over two brutal murders. When she discovers a third victim in the murky waters behind her house, she turns to her dangerously handsome neighbor, Tucker Longstreet, for protection. But Tucker has a reputation for breaking hearts - even worse, the police count him their number one suspect.
You’ll want to lean back in your easy chair and let Nora Robert’s steamy prose and Tom Stechschulte’s stirring interpretation transport you to Innocence where the nights are filled with promise and secrets are hard to keep.

Great story and great narration!
I really enjoyed this novel from Roberts! Tom, the narrator brought the story to life with all the different voices he used for the characters. I will certainly look for other novels narrated by Tom!
The story kept me engaged and I really enjoyed it. There were a couple complaints though. There were so many new characters being added that I often got confused at the beginning of the book and a couple times throughout as to who was who and how they related to each other. Still a great story though and shouldn't be enough to deter you from purchasing it.
I listen to a lot of murder mystery type books and normally don't spend much time trying to figure out "who done it?". Besides, I am not very good at it. Lol So I just listen and enjoy. However, this book was different for some reason. I figured out the who done it quite early on and I feel that to some degree, the author made it a bit too obvious in my opinion.
Even with those complaints I still enjoyed the book and would recommend it!

A very enjoyable read.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. The characters were read very well. I always feel if the characters can make me feel then the author has done his/her job, and in this case they have more than successed. Thank you Nora!
