The Fall of Shane Mackade

I loved all of the Mackade brother books. I thought my favorite was Devin's story until I read Shane's. I really loved this book. Since I read all four I will put them in my fave order now: 1) Shane's story 2) Devin's Story 3) Rafe's Story 4 Jared's Story. I didn't think this story would be good - because of the way his character although was briefly touched in the other novels just seemed blah - but she really brought him to life in this book! I hated that it ended. All I can say is READ IT!

This is one of the best Nora Roberts books I have read. I must say Shane is one sexty hunk...I also like the personality of Rebecca, what a pair..This is a great romance!! Couldn't put it down!

"The Fall of...." was the best of the 4 Mackade series!!! I wish a man like Shane was around to sweep ME off my feet!!! Rebecca aka "Becky" to Shane was always a brainy nerd. WAS a nerd. Shane is absolutely smitten with her and they end up falling hard. This was the best followed by Devin, Jared, then Rafe. Nora has an exceptional talent for writing books in a series. Next I'm going to tackle the O'Hurleys!!!!

The entire MacKade series was, after the "Born In..." and the "In Death...." series, the best collection of stories Nora Roberts (J.D. Robb) has ever written. Just be prepared to let chores go undone, families go unfed and bodies go unrested once you start reading because it simply becomes impossible to put these particular books down until the final page -- and even then you feel as though you want to immediately sit down and start re-reading them again.

Best of luck in finding all four installments to the MacKade series. I was fortunate enough to find all four of the books on the shelf at the local Bookstar. Since some of the series is out of print, I guess they had leftover copies, which is great for me because I won't buy a completed series without being able to purchase all of the books. Too frustrating otherwise! :)The MacKades is the best of Nora's contemporary series novels that I've read. Although I enjoyed the Stars of Mithra series enormously, the MacKades top it by a mile. The paranormal elements to the story are much more credible than the Stars and fit into the story much more seamlessly. I enjoyed plumbing ever more deeply in each succeeding novel into the ghosts of Antietam and seeing their continuing effect on the MacKade family.The best of the best of the four is THE HEART OF DEVIN MACKADE. After Devin's story, I'd list the others: Shane, Rafe, and Jared. Enjoy the MacKade brothers and their ladies. I look forward to Nora writing about the children someday ala the MacGregor series.
