Olivia’s parents were among Hollywood’s golden couples - until the night a monster came and took her mother away forever. A monster with the face of her father... Sheltered from the truth, an older Olivia only dimly recalls her night of terror - but her recurring nightmares make her realize she must piece together the real story. Now, assisted by Noah Brady, the son of the police detective who found her cowering in her closet so many years before, she may have her chance.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 689
It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at the video game store tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived. The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 73
Tory Bodeen grew up in a run-down house where her father ruled with an iron fist and a leather belt - and where her dreams and talents had no room to flourish. Her one escape was her neighbor Hope, who lived in the big house just a short skip away, and whose friendship allowed Tory to be something she wasn’t allowed to be at home: a child. Then Hope was brutally murdered, and everything fell apart.

Publisher's Summary
#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts surpasses herself once again, with a novel as sweeping and extraordinary as the Montana sky itself....
When Jack Mercy died, he left behind a ranch worth nearly twenty million dollars. Now his three daughters - each born of a different mother, and each unknown by the others - are gathered to hear the reading of the will. But the women are shocked to learn that before any of them can inherit, they must live together on the ranch for one year.
For Tess, a screenwriter who just wants to collect her cash and get back to Hollywood, it’s a nightmare. For Lily, on the run from her abusive ex-husband, it’s a refuge. And for Willa - who grew up on the ranch - it’s an intrusion into her rightful home.
They are sisters...and strangers. Now they face a challenge: to put their bitterness aside and live like a family. To protect each other from danger - and unite against an enemy who threatens to destroy them all...

Poorly researched and laughably predictable...
Well, all I can say is I’m appalled that this book even got published, and if all her other novels are as irritating and factually inaccurate as “Montana Skies” ...how did this woman ever become a famed writer?? Are people nuts?! Nora Roberts, you need to do your research before you endeavour to write a story about ranching and horses. It is abundantly clear you know nothing about horses, or you would never have written about a yearling being “put through its paces” and galloping around a pen with not ONE (bad enough...) but TWO people on its back. Absolutely ridiculous! A one year old horse cannot be ridden... their skeletal structure, vertebrae and muscle mass are not developed enough to take the weight of a person on their back, let alone two!! Heck, even at 3 years old, it’s pushing it!! It’s tantamount to strapping weight onto the back of a human toddler! For heaven’s sake, DO THE RESEARCH!!
As for the romance side and love interests, the foregone conclusion of “which sister was going to end up with which guy” and the in-your-face predictability of the trite and cliched “steamy sex scenes” left me either infuriated or cringing! You most certainly don’t need a crystal ball to calculate the outcome...
I know one thing... I won’t be bothering with another Nora Roberts novel. My raised blood pressure from plain annoyance cautioned me that one was quite enough...

Fairly predictable
Just an average listen, at points I was finding myself wishing it was over already cause I could predict what was likely going to happen, which I was correct. Wouldn’t recommend as a great read.

Sexist, iffy narrator, violence
I have become a fan of Nora Roberts' books during COVID-19 seclusion - I enjoy the cozy atmosphere, the easy romance and how you know the good guys will always win. This had all those factors, but I found myself rolling my eyes over some of the He-man attitudes of the love interests - I think even cowboys can be enlightened and I don't find the thought of being shaken by man or picked up and thrown caveman style very sexy. The narrator was ok in some parts and off in others - some strange whiny tones for the older voices sounded cartoonish and some of the men sounded just like the women. Lastly, while I expect her books to have some mystery/thriller/nail bite elements ( I can take some violence or knowledge of it) the description of the violence in this one was very disturbing for me. A lot more detail that left me wanting to fast forward.
Overall there was a good mystery angle, but this was not my favourite.

Not as good as I remembered.
I remember really liking Nora Roberts and this story in particular. Now, I find Ben's confidence irritating and scary. The way he and Nate tell their women how things are going to be... I hate it. And I really liked Nate too. I'm going to finish this. I WILL finish this. But I hope not every relationship is like that in Nora Roberts' other books.

Good story but I could barely tell the difference between most of the characters voices and the male voices didn't come across as male at all.

Montana Sky EXCELLENT by Nora Roberts
Any additional comments?
^
Mean old Jack Mercy has owned a ranch in Montana forever, with his daughter Willa, working at her his side. He's never given her an ounce of affection, encouragement or anything a daughter craves from her father. However, he has taught her life on the ranch, what needs to be done, how to do it and do it well.
When he dies there's a huge surprise to Willa when the will is read. It turns out that he has two other daughters by two other women. The condition of their inheritance is that they all live and work on the ranch together for one year.
This is a big challenge for social light from the East Coast & a diva from the west, in Hollywood. They decide to give it a try each focused on her own reason. Willa, because ranch life is all she's ever known. Tess, the West Coast Hollywood – with her eye on the amount she can receive for selling off her portion at the end of the year. Lily, who is running from an abusive husband. Where better to hide then rural Montana?
The angst of the sisters trying to get along and adjusting to life on the ranch make for some fun shenanigans and, for me, a few giggles. But suddenly a body turns up, things get very serious very quickly because these women live alone and only one knows how to shoot a gun.
We are introduced to several men, ranch hands, businessman, an attorney, and potential suitors. There are a lot of characters to keep up with but each one is necessary to the plot.
As bodies continue to turn out, each in a more disturbing manner than the prior. They learn how to shoot guns, patrols are set up to police the area – everyone in the town pitching in.
Though I was able to make an educated guess as to who was causing all the problems, it wasn't until less than an hour left in the book and I had no clue as to who or as to why. Fortunately, Nora Roberts ties up each loose in a satisfying way.
I thought that this book was a historical set and a historical setting, but it was not. I suppose it COULD be considered a historical book as they don't mention email or text – but they did mention FAX machines!
Sometimes it is hit or miss for me with Nora Roberts, but this one was definitely a hit and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
I recommend for those with tastes similar to mine. Constant action, romance and mystery.
The narration was exceptional especially when the number of characters are factored in. I mentioned that I had a hard time keeping up with the characters in a few places.However, the narrator performed in a way that after a few seconds I was caught up again.
Notes: Descriptions of violence, on humans and animals & some scenes (not graphic) that would be considered mature themes.

FANTASTIC READ
Now this was truly a good book - I almosted wanted it to be a trilogy but Nora did a great job putting them all together and not doing anyone any injustice.
The story line was great - the twist totally a shock - left me with a "huh" and then I just couldn't shut it off because I had to see how it ends!
Erika Leigh is a great narrator - thank you for making this book come to life!

more violent than expected
The story had some really great qualities that I almost missed due to the graphic violence described which is why I did not rate it high. I was not expecting the violence and almost did not continue the book, until I came up with the idea to fast forward through the violent scenes. I wish I was aware of the nature of the story before purchasing this book.

Okay maybe it's a corny story, but I liked it
I really enjoyed this book. So what if it was a little bit corny, I don't care, I liked it. In fact I liked it so much that once I started listening to it I kept driving the rest of the day and all night. I liked it.

Rape is NOT lovemaking. REPULSED!
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Offensive that authors show rape as being something women enjoy or something that a man who supposedly loves a woman likes to do and she likes it. I'm sorry, sex in bondage with the woman saying no is rape and not lovemaking and I am totally appalled this is churned out to women as romance.
Has Montana Sky turned you off from other books in this genre?
Turned me off this author.
Which scene was your favorite?
I cannot get my head out of my fury that she wrote a rape scene as romantic to think of anything good to say about this author.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Montana Sky?
Any suggestion that forced sex with a woman's hands cuffed against her will and saying NO is something she is going to enjoy. That is totally offensive. Not only that it is dangerous as it suggests a woman should be degraded as being good. I cannot express how appalled I was by that scene strongly enough.
Any additional comments?
If it were a physical book it would have been thrown at the wall. I will be advising people NOT to buy a Nora Roberts book.

Gripping
This story is gripping. Heartwrenching, heartbreaking and good. I like every thing about the storyline,characters. Even if it scared the stuffing outta me. NR's bad guys are terrifying. The narration was really good. However, I had to "adjust" myself to enjoy some of the voices. The narrator did a great job of givng each character their own voice. Not all are easy to listen to but she did a great job. This story scared me silly. And I did not figure it out. I would like to listen again but I am not sure I can. Scary but really good story.

A western saga at its best
This is a wonderful slice of life story that spans an important time in a young woman's life. Willa has depth and character that stands on its own. This is the story of her coming of age and attaining womanhood. Her love interest, Ben, is more than enough man to handle this western woman. A great listen.

Possibly my favorite from Nora Roberts!!
This book is fantastic!!! Great setting, Great characters that you really get to know and love or hate. There is a small amout of violence but nothing that completely turned my off from this great book. Well worth a credit! Enjoy!

Loved it!
Where does Montana Sky rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?
One of the best I've read
What did you like best about this story?
The story was great.
Have you listened to any of Erika Leigh???s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I hadn't heard this narrator before. She did a good job.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I had seen the TV movie of this book and had decided not to buy the audio book. I finally changed my mind and am really glad I did. It was well worth the price.
