Great reading

This is actually 2 books in one---the first is Night Shift. Cilla O'Roarke is a nighttime radio dj, cool, sexy, confident, and beloved by her audience. One person out there takes his admiration too far and begins to contact her, more and more frequently until it turns into a deadly obsession. Detective Boyd Fletcher is assigned to Cilla's case, his job is to protect her, but then the sparks begin to fly.
Night Shadow is basically a sequel to Night Shift, but this time the heroine is Cilla's younger sister Deborah. This story takes place a few years after Night Shift left off, and Deborah is now an assistant district attorney on a mission to rid her city of crime. Nemesis has the same mission, only he is not on the same side of the law. One night Nemesis saves Deborah from a sudden attack, and afterwards he finds he can't get the stubborn, beautiful attorney out of his head.

The New York Times: "The hours between dusk and dawn are filled with mystery, danger... and romance. Here are two dark and dazzling classic tales of passion and peril by the incomparable mistress of romantic suspense." A good read if you're into Nora Roberts' writing.

Books 1 and 2 of the night tales series. Very well written. I love the twist of extra- supernatural thrown into the stories. By far my favorites of the Night Tales series.

I was very pleased with this book since I was afraid that it might get too involved with the detective part of the story. But Nora did a good job, kept it interesting without getting into too much detail. Something different for me, but I will read more now that I have tried them.

Night Shift is another great Nora Roberts story. Night Shadow is so terrible you may actually cringe while reading it. Imagine the Shadow meets Batman written as a romance with Vicky Vail as the asst. D.A. Every ridiculous cliche you can think of has been thrown into this story.

Two stories by Nora Roberts - Night Shift tells the story of Cilla O'Roarke, a popular radio announcer and the mysterious man who threatens to kill her.

Night Shadow takes place a few years later and tells the story of Deborah O'Roarke, Cilla's sister, who is a prosecuting attorney.

Both good, spellbinding stories with romance and plenty of twists and turns in them.

This is the 1st 2 stories in the series. I enjoyed the 1st story more then the second. But still an easy read & not boring.

Both strong stories. First is boilerplate thriller...victim falls in love with cop protecting her...they race against time to figure out the bad guy. Second story uses the bit-player sister from the first story as the main character. She falls in love with the driven ex-cop out to save the world. Interesting twist..little like the batman storyline though!

Her voice was like hot whiskey, smooth and potent, but it was her contracdictions that fascinated Detective Boyd Fletcher - the vulnerablility beneath her self-sufficient facade. Radio announcer Cilla O'Roarke was being threatened, and it was Boyd's job to protect her. But though she protested his intrusion into her life, an undeniable attraction sizzled between them... and anything could happen on the Night Shift.

He walked the night, a shadow among shadows. They called him Nemesis and he was everywhere. But the night he saved Deborah O'Roarke from an attacker he rediscovered the sweet ache of longing. As Gage Guthrie he could woo her. But the idealistic prosecutor abhorred his vigilante approach to crime fighting. So how could he reveal he was the phantom who lurked in the Night Shadow?

I really enjoyed Night shift, but Night shadow was too Batman-ish for me.
reviewed Night Tales: Night Shift / Night Shadow on + 29 more book reviews
This is a book with 2 seperate stories about sisters.

The first story belongs to Cilla. She's a night dj for a popular radio station in Denver. She does a request line as part of her midnight show and picks up a stalker. The police are brought in and of course she falls for the good looking cop, Boyd, although begrudgingly.
It was an interesting story, pretty well written and kept my attention.

The second story belongs to Deborah. Deborah is an Assistant District Attorney responsible for prosecuting the scum in her high crime city. She meets Gage along the way and this is where i lost interest. A handsome devil for sure, she does know how to write a hero! However, after waking from almost a year long coma he finds he has the power to turn himself invisible. So he plays this secondary role, Nemesis, the vigilante hero keeping the streets clean after dark. Of course Deborah doesn't realize he's one in the same man. Deborah and Gage were really great together, some pretty hot and romantic scenes. My favorite part was Deborah's temper, although she never seemed to hold on to it which i found disappointing. She'd come storming into a room spitting mad, Gage would toss her a simple "i love you" and she'd just melt all over the place.
