    The Fall of Shane MacKade

    Written by Nora Roberts

    4/5

    About this audiobook

    #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts returns with the classic tales of the MacKade brothers—their rebellions, their passions and their loves.

    Shane MacKade enjoyed everything about women—the look of them, the smell of them, the taste of them. So the last thing he expected was to become a one-woman man. And even more surprising is that it's the Ph.D.-toting academic Rebecca McKnight who has him headed for a fall. Could Shane's days as a bachelor be coming to an end?

      Another great book. I love each book in this serves
    • 5/5
      A beautiful ending to a wonderful series.Nora Roberts is the best author ever ?
    • 5/5
      This has always been my favorite couple NR wrote. It's such a natural meet and lust and fall in love paced story. Shane is the quintessential farm boy. Rebecca collects degrees. They find in each other what they didn't know they were missing. I go back and reread this one quite a bit since I first read it years ago.
    • 4/5
      Inhaltsangabe:Shane MacKade ist derjenige, der sich um die Farm seiner inzwischen verstorbenen Eltern kümmert. Er macht es auch Liebe zum Land, es ist seine Heimat. Mit den Frauen geht er respektvoll um, doch keine hat wirklich sein Herz erobert, trotz der reichlichen Angebote.Die junge Wissenschaftlerin Rebecca Knight kommt in die Stadt, da sie von den mysteriösen Vorfällen gehört hat, die in der Gegend um Antietam immer wieder geschehen. Sie möchte es auch rein wissenschaftlich untersuchen und muss sich dafür bei Shane ins Farmhaus einquartieren. Schon sehr bald kann sie eine gewisse Verbindung spüren – auch zu Shane.Doch Shane beisst offenbar auf Granit bei Rebecca und allmählich zweifelt er an seinem Charme. Und dann sind da noch die mysteriösen Geschehnisse und die verblüffende Ähnlichkeit zur verstorbenen Mutter …Mein Fazit:Die Reihe findet ihren Abschluss in diesem Band. Nora Roberts hat drei herrliche Prachtexemplare an Männer beschrieben und sie alle haben die Liebe ihres Lebens gefunden – bis auf Shane – Nummer vier. Er kümmert sich um die Farm und nimmt das Leben ansonsten locker und leicht. Der weibliche Teil der Gesellschaft ist ihm sehr zugetan und er genießt es sehr.Als Rebecca in sein Leben tritt, spürt er sofort eine gewisse Anziehungskraft. Und doch lässt sie ihn immer wieder abblitzen und stellt seine Geduld auf eine harte Probe. Alle vier MacKades erkennen in ihr die verstorbene Mutter wieder und warum sie auf der Farm auftaucht, wird Rebecca schon bald klar: Sie hat Visionen und es bezieht sich auf das Farmhaus.Der vierte Band war für mich leider nicht der geglückte Abschluss. Da hätte man vielleicht die Reihenfolge ändern müssen, denn der dritte Band war für mich der beste. Die Liebesgeschichte um Shane und Rebecca konnte mich nicht wirklich überzeugen. Rebecca spielt mit Shane und ist doch tatsächlich noch Jungfrau. Nein, das passte für mich irgendwie nicht zusammen. Und Shane war mir an der einen oder anderen Stelle auch ein wenig zu stürmisch, auch wenn das Gesamtpaket mich durchaus angesprochen hat.In diesem Band hat man nun alle MacKades wieder gesehen – samt der Ehefrauen und inzwischen geborenen Kinder (oh ja, und davon gibt es viele). Ich fand es sehr herzerfrischend und berührend. Das war für mich dann noch ein Pluspunkt. Ansonsten kann ich den Roman nur mit vier Sternen bewerten. Schade, für den Abschluss der Reihe hätte ich mir mehr gewünscht.Veröffentlicht am 21.10.16!

      I love Nora Roberts, she never disappoints with her stories. The narrator did a wonderful job portraying multiple voices in a fairly credible way.

    • 5/5
      Very good! After reading all MacKade brothers books, I'm sorry there wasn't fifth brother. Looking forward to another book from Nora!
    • 5/5
      Well, shoot. The four-book series is over now - I've read all four and would love to find another. I love these books - I know I'm a shallow reader of sappy romantic books, (In my defense, I do read lots of other types of books) but all of Nora Roberts brother series are just my favorite cozy comfort reads. This series is the 4 MacKade brothers - all drop dead gorgeous, family oriented, sweet, strong, a little rough, and totally sensitive. Just like all real men are :o). They are pretty much clones of the brothers in the Chesapeake Bay series and the three brothers in the Boonsboro trilogy - different occupations, same types. Roberts is great at male repartee - the sweet, funny banter all of the brothers share is fun to read - I know nobody like that, but still it's fun to imagine that there are relationships like that. My other favorite writer of that type of sarcastic banter, albeit in her case male/female, is Susan Elizabeth Phillips, and I have read all of her books too. So, if you like fun, sappy romance, you'll love this series. In this last one, the ghosts got a little silly - I think Roberts usually does a little better with her ghosts, but they didn't detract enough to make me not enjoy the last book as much as the other three. Now, if I could just convince Nora Roberts to write another sweet brother series like this one, I'd be in romance heaven.
    • 4/5
      I liked this story where playboy meets genius but it was kind of slow going especially the paranormal parts. I did enjoy this series about the MacKade brothers. Farm boy Shane pick ups Dr. Rebecca from the airport and their attraction begins.
    • 5/5
      I loved Shane, and fight he put up.
    • 5/5
      This is my favorite book of this series. Shane gets the best lines. And I love brainy heroines. Rebecca is written with humor and affection and honesty. Too many times, a brainy character, particularly if it's a heroine, will be written as hopelessly inept, as a comical figure--presumably to keep readers from being unable to relate to her. Rebecca has had social difficulties--controlling yet distant parents, college at 14, boarding schools, etc. will do that to you--but she's working on it, herself, using her intelligence, and that makes the difference.Shane's a farmer, and while I may doubt the long-term compatibility of disparate levels of intelligence, he's neither intimidated by her nor condescending. There's still the physical fights the four brothers get into, which part of me finds amusing (they're definitely written to be amusing), and another part questions their maturity. I don't know any grown men who get in fistfights with their brothers. *deep breath* Let it go, it's just a book.Rebecca has come to town to study the ghosts--she's had dreams about them for years, and she's tired of academia and wants to study something new just because she finds it fascinating. I've complained before about Nora's paranormals, but they don't bother me in this series. The ghosts behave the way I'd expect ghosts to behave, if I ever encountered any.Oh. Last thing. This is one of the books with a Bimbo Darla in it. Nora wrote about 7 Bimbo Darlas, until I asked her about it--since then, there's only been one Darla in her books--a wacky twin. I probably should have kept my mouth shut.
