On the ROOB Radar
This weeks shout out for new releases is presented by me, Natascha / Ashleagh, and at the moment I’m a bit in search for various of genre’s, my taste is ever-changing to suit my mood so I’m currently roaming around in the world of romance. That’s probably why I’m a bit diverse in this weeks selection.
NORA ROBERTS - THE SEARCH
Release date : July 6, 2010
Website Nora Roberts
ISBN-10: 0399156577
ISBN-13: 978-0399156571
Publisher: Putnam Adult
Synopsis
The serviceable latest from Roberts centers on Fiona Bristow, a professional canine search-and-rescue trainer, who moved to Orcas Island in Puget Sound eight years earlier, just after barely escaping from a serial killer. The story opens with Simon Doyle, an artisan cabinetmaker who arrives on the island with a puppy in tow. It's the puppy that brings Fiona and Simon together, and the romance gets off to a rocky start; he's grumpy and plainspoken; she doesn't scare easily. Then a serial killer begins operating within striking distance, and all Fiona's hard-won peace and equanimity begins to wobble: the man who almost killed her is in prison, but he's got a disciple on the outside.
KAREN ROBARDS – SHATTERED
Releasedate: March 2010
Website Karen Robards
ISBN-10: 0-399-15627-5
ISBN-13: 978-0-399-15627-4
Publisher: Putnam Adult
Synopsis
The past is never over. It just gets dusty.
Lisa Shewmaker was a rising star in a prestigious law firm in Lexington, Kentucky; that is, until the firm went bankrupt and she lost her job. With an ailing mother to care for, Lisa takes the first position she can find: research assistant to District Attorney Scott Buchanan. Scott is as disagreeable as he is sexy, and Lisa suspects the only reason she got the job is because of her privileged upbringing as the daughter of a wealthy federal judge.
While reviewing cold cases in the Fayette County courthouse, a particularly thick manila envelope draws Lisa's attention. The details of the case are engrossing: An entire family-father, mother, and two children-disappeared more than twenty-eight years ago. Except that's not all: The mother in the photo could have been Lisa's twin, and the toddler in the picture bears an uncanny resemblance to Lisa herself. Before Lisa can learn more about her past, a series of catastrophes strike close to home. Lisa confides in Scott, and their relationship develops into something completely different. Together Lisa and Scott unravel a terrifying web of criminal connections that could destroy the very fabric of Lisa's life-if she lives long enough, that is.
RACHAEL HERRON – HOW TO KNIT A LOVE SONGThis is a search I’m fairly proud of and I’m really looking forward to reading these novels!
Releasedate: March 2010
Website Rachael Herron
ISBN-10: 0-06-184129-3
ISBN-13: 978-0-06-184129-3
Publisher: Avon
Synopsis
Abigail is more than ready for a change when she inherits a cottage from her beloved mentor, knitting guru Eliza Carpenter. Leaving the oppressive city for the greener pastures of a small California beach town, she intends to turn her cozy little windfall into a knitting shop and spend her days spinning, designing, and purling. But she's not going to be welcomed with open arms by her new neighbor. Eliza's disgruntled nephew, the gorgeous Cade, now owns everything surrounding Abigail's ramshackle new home, and he views this sexy city girl as an unwanted interloper.
But chemistry working overtime is drawing two very different people closer than they ever thought possible. And when the past that Abigail thought she'd left behind comes calling, she'll have to somehow learn to trust her handsome adversary with much more than just her heart.
SARAH MCCARTY – Shadow Wrangler series – eroticaThis following book is one that caught my attention because, eventhough it’s not romance, but because it’s something totally different on my shelves to read!

CALEB

ISBN-10: 0-425-23057-0
ISBN-13: 978-0-425-23057-2
Publisher: Berkley Trade
Synopsis
Allie always desired mysterious, sexy rancher Caleb Johnson, but he never seemed to notice her. Until the night she's attacked by a vicious animal, and rescued by a shapeshifting vampire that she almost seems to recognize: the baritone growl, the mesmerizing eyes, the inexplicable animal attraction. That's because her savior is Caleb, and now he has no choice but to bring Allie into the shadows with him - to protect her from a rival werewolf pack, and to finally reveal his true feelings for the woman he's been afraid to love.
JARED
Releasedate: April 2010

ISBN-13: 978-0-425-23240-8
Publisher: Berkley Trade
Synopsis
Jared Johnson has always been a force to be reckoned with, first as an outlaw and now as a vampire. Caught in a war between immortals, he doesn't have time to waste, but when a female vampire is attacked, he can't just walk away. He expects a quick goodbye, but what he gets is a vulnerable woman who intrigues and seduces while giving away nothing of the secrets holding her hostage.
Raisa may not have extreme physical strength, but she's been able to survive as a vampire longer than most by keeping to herself. But that's about to change. Forced to accept Jared's protection, Raisa finds it increasingly hard to resist his forbidden allure while keeping the secret that could destroy them both.
ANTONIA S BYATT – THE CHILDREN’s BOOK

ISBN-13: 978-0-307-47306-6
Publisher: Vintage
Synopsis
Olive Wellwood is a famous writer, interviewed with her children gathered at her knee. For each, she writes a private book, bound in its own colour and placed on a shelf. In their rambling house near Romney Marsh the children play in a storybook world - but their lives, and those of their rich cousins and friends, are already inscribed with mystery. Each family carries its own secrets.
Born at the end of the Victorian era and growing up in the golden summers of Edwardian times, a whole generation grew up unaware of the darkness ahead; in their innocence, they were betrayed unintentionally by the adults who loved them.
