Roberts returns with the customary combo of romance and intrigue in Homeport, the tale of a lovelorn Ph.D. trying to save her reputation as well as her life. Dr. Miranda Jones, who specializes in authenticating Renaissance art, is called to Italy to verify The Dark Lady, a statue that may have been created by Michelangelo. When the sculpture turns out to be a fake, she is determined to find the original and gains the help of sexy art thief Ryan Boldari--who has plans to steal a bronze via Jones. However, his manipulative designs go awry when he falls for the brainy redhead and a dangerous killer begins to stalk them.

 Never Disappointed August 13, 2008
HomeportI have never been disappointed by anything Nora Roberts writes and Homeport was another most enjoyable read for me.
I have read all of her books and now have to wait for the new ones to come out; however, some of the very best of the best, I re-read while I'm waiting. You will never go wrong choosing anything by this author.

Miranda Jones is a world-renowned art historian in demand all over the globe. Ryan Boldari is a thief. When Ryan steals a piece that Miranda has validated, their paths collide. When Miranda finds out that another piece she authenticated is a forgery, she and Ryan are determined to find out what is going on. As they travel the world searching for answers, the stakes are raised when attempts are made on Miranda's life. There was a lot of information about the art world, but was necessary to follow the plot. I enjoyed the secondary characters also.
Enjoyable Read January 3, 2008
On the whole, this book was very enjoyable. I liked the pace, and was intrigued by NR's description of the various places the two main characters visited. The characters were likable, for the most part, and the only real quibble I have is the depiction of Ryan's family, which seemed rather like a compliation of stereotypes.
Nora's best work! November 15, 2007
"Homeport" is Nora Robert's best work to date. It has a great plot, and I love the characters. The romance is sweet and not cheesy. I've never read any book better written by Nora Roberts. It's excellent! I highly recommend it!
