    The Stanislaskis: an unforgettable family saga by #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts

    Frederica Kimball had been waiting all her life...waiting to grow up...waiting forever for the day when Nicholas LeBeck would fall as desperately in love with her as she had always been with him. Nick didn't know what had hit him. Sweet, adorable Freddie, whom he'd always loved like a kid sister, was suddenly all woman. And his feelings for her were anything but brotherly!

      I think this book is written for those who follow this series. I wasn't aware that this was part of the series and if I knew I wouldn't have read it. I found the main two characters poorly developed - I still don't know who Nick is and why Freddie is attracted to him. Freddie seems a bit shallow and too much focus is given on the family's wealth and the connections. Not sure what kind of message the author is trying to send here. Also, there were way too many characters in the book and the best give away about the shallowness of the book is that it contains mainly dialogues. It seems that the author has really nothing to say and just throws them in here. Nothing really happens in this book that is worth of an interest. I started skipping parts just to get to the end but even the end didn't bring me any satisfactions.

      This is the 5th book in the Stanislaski series, and my favorite of that series.Freddie Kimball is the daughter of Spence Kimball from Taming Natasha. Nick LeBeck is the brother of Zack Muldoon from Falling for Rachel. They met back in Falling for Rachel, when Freddie was 13 and Nick was 19.Back then, Nick was trouble, but becoming part of the Stanislaski family straightened him out, and he's now a respected composer. In fact, he's been asked to write the songs for a new musical for Maddie O'Hurley (Dance to the Piper). Unfortunately, his usual lyricist can't work with him.Which is fortunate for Freddie, who offers her services, and after quite a bit of arguing, she convinces him to work with her.What Nick doesn't know is that writing lyrics is just the tip of the iceberg of Freddie's plans. She's been in love with him for years, and has decided that it's time to do something about it.Nick has trouble initially thinking of Freddie as someone other than a young girl, a sort-of-cousin. He's also troubled by his past, feeling that a former gang member is definitely not good enough for Freddie. And then there's the whole family looking over their shoulders. But Freddie's nothing if not determined.There were the expected appearances of other family members from the series, as well as the O'Hurleys from another of Nora's series, but in this case, it didn't seem remotely forced. Freddie and Nick were members of the same extended family, so it would have seemed odd if the family hadn't shown up. And the O'Hurleys were a nice bonus, but also logical.I always like the books where the h/h have known each other a long time. Something about them knowing each other so well & falling in love with the whole person. Odd, because I was married within 6 months of meeting Carl, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Maybe it's the contrast with real life that appeals to me.Surprise, surprise, I don't have any complaints with this one. It's just a sweet, feel-good book that leaves me smiling: * I smiled when Freddie came to New York with her 3-fold plan. * I smiled through all their bickering about the songs. * I smiled at Nick's reaction to meeting Chantal O'Hurley (Skin Deep). * I smiled when Nick wanted to get her some brandy or a glass of water "for the shock" after the first time they made love (well, okay, I laughed). * I smiled when the family discussed Freddie & Nick's budding romance after the anniversary party. * I smiled when Spence gave Nick a hard time & said it was his duty as a father.etc., etc.

      I will be the first to admit that I am a little in love with Nora Roberts. There's little of her work that I've read that I didn't fall in love with.But the Stanislaskis have a special place in my heart. I come back to them, again and again, whenever I want something cozy to keep me warm at night, or to lift my spirits. Roberts is a good writer in general, but she excels at exploring the relationships that exist within a family. This novel explores the connections within the Stanislaski family deeper than others, simply because both of the main characters are in the Stanislaski family (no, they're not related). Freddie has been waiting for Nick since the moment she met him at a young age, and she's finally decided to go after him. Though there are some bumps along the way, they end up together, as the readers always knew they would.Particularly with reading the previous books and seeing the two of them when they were younger, this book is just a wonderful book to read and experience. While this might not be Roberts' best writing, the story never fails to make me believe in the power of enduring love by showing the examples of all the marriages in the Stanislaski family.It's nothing earth-shattering or unique, but it's one of my favorite stories by Roberts.
