Nora Roberts does to J.D. Robb what Evan Hunter did with Ed McBain with their "joint" collaboration in the best selling novel called CANDYLAND. Author and pseudonymous alter ego combine forces to create a story that pleases readers and fans alike that get the opportunity to see another side of their favorite author.

REMEMBER WHEN begins in the Nora Roberts style of writing with the tale of a young woman who has reinvented herself after an unusual childhood and has now been living a great life. Laine Tavish is the proprietress of Remember When, an antique store located in the small, quaint town of Angel's Gap, Maryland. Her life will change dramatically when a link from her past unexpectedly comes to the store and embroils her in a well-publicized diamond heist from which Laine's biological father may have been involved. Someone thinks that she knows the location of the stolen jewels and is willing to do whatever it takes to get them back.

Nora Roberts' alter ego J.D. Robb, creator of the futuristic series featuring New York Police and Security detective, Lieutenant Eve Dallas, writes the second half of this suspenseful novel. Fresh from the recent events in IMITATION IN DEATH, Eve is investigating the murder of a young woman who was housesitting at the home of a True Crime novelist. Samantha Gannon has written a best seller regarding the infamous New York diamond heist that occurred fifty-six years ago. Someone is obsessed with the decades-old robbery and is willing to do anything to recover the purloined loot. Dallas, her multi-billionaire husband Roarke, and their friends at the NYPSD will work together to stop a brutal murderer and find the truth regarding the historic robbery.

As you read REMEMBER WHEN it feels as if two different people wrote it, an accomplishment in itself for Ms. Roberts. Her fans get to meet the style of J.D. Robb to her readers and vice versa given readers the opportunity of getting a two for one. The romance, sex, action and suspense you expect from her are entirely present on both halves of the book making this book an unexpected treat. See what everyone's talking about and try this crossover novel.
