Favorite - I really got hooked on Nora Roberts trilogies. The Lovers and Dreamers book was the first one I read. It has Daring to Dream, Holding the Dream, and Finding the Dream in one book.
Least Favorite - I can't think of any that I didn't like. When I started the Circle trilogy (Morrigan's Cross, Dance of the Gods,and Valley of Silence) I was a little put-off. Most of the books I had read before were realistic and this was the first to make a leap into fantasy or supernatural. Once I got into the story, it didn't matter anymore.
Her writing style, with the elements of romance and mystery, is what keeps me coming back. She does it well, without being overly graphic in either.

Favorite~ any of her trilogies, but primarily the Three Sisters Island trilogy. I think the first trilogy I read was the Dreams one. I cant remember the actual title of the book, it was a three in one also. I want to say that this trilogy is really what hooked me on Nora. I know I read some of her stuff prior to this but nothing really stuck, but I loved them all.
Least Favorite~ I cant say that I have one.

Favorite- I have to admit her trilogies are the best! Ardmore, daring/holding/finding the dream, three sisters, chesapeake. The characters are so complete, you know where they are coming from. She also puts in feelings from a guys point of view (like in the chesapeake trilogy) so the story is not too one sided. She puts humor in situations that can be too corny -- so it doesnt read corny (like when Margo and Josh say their iloveyous)
Least favorite - Garden (am not a real fan of anything botanical -- when i go the nursery, you can actually see the plants cringe when they see me approaching to get another "victim" heehee) and Key series (it was too over the top for me.. couldnt see the character getting "into" a painting or "into" a book). sorry.

I think I've read almost everything Nora Roberts has written - including her JD Robb series (love it!).
My favorite is Montana Sky.
I guess my least favorites would be her new books. She seems to be on the supernatural kick and I guess I'm a little tired of it.

I've only read two of her trilogies and liked them both; the Irish Trilogy( the Gallaghers) and the Chesapeake Trilogy. Out of the two my favorite was the Irish trilogy. I thought NR was suppose to becoming out with a fourth addition to the Gallaghers series? Does anyone know if there is one?

1) Sea Swept
2) Rising Tides
3) Inner Harbor
4) Chesapeake Blue

According to her website, there will be no addition to any current trilogies. *bummer*

I've only gotten started reading her books. All are good so far. (Does JD Robb count?) Great characters and nice settings and good twists and turns for suspense. High Noon was the latest one I've read so far. I haven't had a least favorite.

I consider the JD Robb collection as another Nora Roberts series, so I'd say they count. :)

Absolutely love the Key trilogies...I have yet to read a Nora Roberts book I haven't liked
|

I love all her trilogies. I'd have to say my favorite is Gallaghers of Ardmore and Key trilogies.
I don't have a least favorite, but it did take me a while to get into the Circle Trilogy. Once I was in, I was hooked.

I don't think there is anything that Nora Roberts or J D Robb has put out that I don't like. I think she is an amazing writer!. Years ago I read stacks and stacks of books then it was absent from my life for many years. Now that my youngest is 14, I have picked up the habit of full force but I don't know how I am going to manage to read all that this author has put out! But I am working hard to do so. If I did have to pick something as my favorite, I would say the "In Death" series.

Favorite: Chesapeake Series. I loved that series and was so thrilled when she came back with a fourth book.
Least Favorie: Key trilogy. I'm not sure what it was but this series just didn't grab me! I wasn't that interested in the characters.

New here, so I'm a little behind on the topic. My favorite NR book is Public Secrets. I also loved the Donovan trilogy (later quadrology).
I've read nearly all of her books (only missing two or three). I know there was one awhile back that had a "phoned-in" quality and was a little disappointing, but I can't recall the name.
All in all, I've really enjoyed her work.

favorites~ the key trilogy (was enthralled with it from the first page and couldn't wait until the rest of them came out)& in the garden trilogy (just fascinated with the floral aspect on top of the personalities of the characters and what they had to go through)...since those are the most recent ones I've read aside from the blood brothers but that ones not complete yet, so can't add that to the favorites quite yet. I do plan on re-reading a couple because i remember liking them, but can't remember what they are about....OK sorry rambling here.
least favorite book~ Lawless...couldn't get into that one at all. I think I only read a few chapters and just couldn't continue and I tried it a couple of times too and it was a no go everytime. That's the only one that sticks out that I didn't like since I love most of her work.

I love all of Nora Roberts books but my favorite is the In Death Series. It just has the right mix of suspense, mystery and romance. And I would follow Roarke anywhere!!!!. I don't really have one book I don't like so far. However, with Nora writing so many series, it feels a little wierd when you get to a "stand alone" book.

I've just discovered Nora Roberts this year. I read my first book by her in April, and it was the Time and Again series, which I absolutely loved! Well, I've loved everything I've read by her so far, but my favorites to date are the Gallaghers trilogy. If I HAVE to have a least favorite, at this point it would be Blue Smoke, which I still liked, just not as much.
