Waiting for Nick by Nora Roberts


Nora Roberts spells ROMANCE and we all know it! Yes, she has mystery and fiction under her wing too, but let's face it, when romance is what we ask for, none other than this very woman can give it to us at its best. 
Waiting for Nick is a romantic novel, with the main character being Frederica Kimball. The next character we have, is her cousin Nicholas LeBeck. However, since Nick is adopted, he technically isn't related to Freddy. 
Freddy has a huge and loving family. She is described as sweet, innocent and lovely. Her parents are well-off, and her life is pretty much perfect. However, she still thinks one aspect of her life is missing - Badboy Nicholas. Freddy has had a seemingly big crush on Nick since childhood and all it has done is grow. Now a beautiful woman, she finds herself on a quest to make him fall in love with her by any means possible. Nick on the other hand considers her to be Freddy , his little sister who happened to grow too fast. He is absolutely clueless as to what to feel, although his feelings are quite clear. As he tries to push his obvious emotions to a side, we read through how they both get to know eachother, how neither of them cease to have control over their thoughts, and how their relationship develops into something absolutely beautiful.
Every die-hard romantic reader out there must have this novel. Though a few aspects along the story line seem to be a little hard to believe and sappy, the combination of words used to describe the characters' feelings, thought processes, spawns the story into something (let's be honest) every girl would want to have. Roberts has written this one with complete brilliance, passion, and emotion. A must have novel and an absolutely satisfying romantic read.
