Nora Roberts
Luck is luck ... What we do with it determines whether it's good or bad.
Nora Roberts
A woman with romance in her life lived as grandly as a queen, because her heart was treasured.
Nora Roberts
You don't find time to write. You make time. It's my job.
Nora Roberts
I have to say you don't look anything like a policewoman. Maxia's perfect eyebrows arched as she gave Eve's dress a quick scan. Leonardo dresses you, doesn't he? No, I usually do it myself.
Nora Roberts
Marry me, Rebecca...You might as well say yes. I'll just talk you into it.
Nora Roberts
Eve-In the name of all that is holy...It's 2060, not 1760. Can't they figure out a better way to handle this process? Roarke-Amen
Nora Roberts
Action, reaction, motivation, emotion, all have to come from the characters. Writing a love scene requires the same elements from the writer as any other.
Nora Roberts
