Bibliography:

First book:, latest book:, author rating:.

Eleanor Marie Robertson was born on October 10, 1950 in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA, the youngest of five children from a family with Irish ancestors. In 1968, she married Ronald Aufdem-Brinke, and they had two sons: Dan and Jason. In 1979, during a blizzard, she began writing. Eleanor wrote under the pseudonym Jill March a story for a magazine titled "Melodies of Love". Several manuscripts and rejections later, her first romance novel, Irish Thoroughbred, was published as Nora Roberts in 1981. She divorced in 1983, and remarried Bruce Wilder, a carpenter, in 1985. Her husband owns and operates a bookstore in Boonsboro, Maryland called Turn the Page Books. Today, Nora is one of the most prolific and beloved writers in the world, with more than 200 novels and 300 million copies of her books in print as Nora Roberts, for her romance novels, and as J. D. Robb, for "In Death", a futuristic-suspense saga. A founding member of the Romance Writers of America (R.W.A.), she was the first inductee in the organization's Hall of Fame. She also is a member of several writers groups and has won countless awards from her colleagues and the publishing industry. In 1989, Nora Roberts's novel "Magic Moments" had been made into TV movie, also "Sanctuary" (Melissa Gilbert) in 2001. In 2007 Lifetime Television adapted four Nora Roberts's novels into TV movies: , "Montana Sky" (Ashley Williams), "Carolina Moon" (Claire Forlani), "Blue Smoke" (Alicia Witt) and "Angel's Fall" (Heather Locklear).

1. The Liar

Shelby Foxworth has lost her husband and her illusions. Her husband was an adulterer and a liar, and now he is dead.

It turns out that not only is he dead, but he never really existed. Following his death Foxworth finds a safe-deposit box with multiple IDs.

In an effort to find comfort, she moves south with her three-year-old daughter. Here she meets Griff Loft, a successful contractor, but her husband had secrets she has yet to discover. An attempted murder is only the beginning.

Legacy is the story of a mother and a daughter, of ambition and romance, and of a traumatic past reawakened by a terrifying threat.

Adrian and her mother Lina have learned not to dwell on the past, so there is no need to discuss that Adrian’s father nearly killed her the first time he met her. Adrian was seven at the time and a decade later has followed in her mother’s footsteps. While they’re not close, they are cordial to one another.

Until Adrian starts receiving death threats and Lina dismisses the severity. Adrian finds the vicious rhymes unsettling as she reconnects with her childhood crush. Then the murders start, and the escalation begins.

As she rebuilds the relationship with her mother, Byden is swept into a new romance. She must figure out who she can trust and who threatens to betray her.

True Betrayals is a thrilling story of family secrets and unexpected passions set against the high-stakes world of championship thoroughbred racing.

4. Black Hills

Cooper Sullivan and Lil Chance grew close through childhood summers spent on neighboring South Dakota ranches. Twelve years after they last held hands, fate has brought them back to the Black Hills.

Coop has left his fast-paced life in New York as an investigator to care for his aging grandparents, while Lil has followed her dreams and opened the Chance Wildlife Refuge. But something, or someone, is keeping a close watch.

Lil and Coop know all too well the dangers that lurk in the Black Hills. Now they must work together to unearth a killer of twisted and unnatural instincts who has singled them out as prey.

5. Birthright

The discovery of 5,000-year-old bones draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger, and romance.

A cloud of death and misfortune hangs over the project and fuels rumors that the site is cursed. Callie must also deal with the irritating but irresistible presence of her ex-husband Jake. When a stranger starts claiming to know a secret about her childhood, she finds herself questioning her past as well.

Birthright is a thrilling, suspenseful tale following a cast of fascinating characters with intertwined lives, reminding us that there is much more going on under the surface than meets the eye.

I am trying to find a book that I read a very long time ago. I don’t remember the title and all about the book that I remember is that it starts off with I think two brothers who are drunk and their grandmother is a very wealthy woman who sends her assistant to check on them. She is a plump woman who is a virgin and the one brother ends up making her exclusively his sex slave basically. Of course they fall in love and end up the next book is about the other brother who falls in love with the girl that lives in a camper across the street from a bar that she works at I do believe. Somebody please help me find these books again. I’ve been searching for a very long time and can’t seem to get any help.

Hi Jodi, I believe your are referencing Lori Foster’s Too Much Temptation and Never To Much.

hiya! hey is there an updated companion book (2022) that lists all her books so that I can check off which ones I own n read? I love your list but I need a way to make it into a checkble list. thanks

I don’t have a Nora Roberts checklist, but I can make one for you! I’ll email it to you when I get it done. Maybe later this week?

I have added the Nora Roberts reading guide & checklist to this article now. Thanks for the recommendation! I also sent it to you via email.

I cannot find the link to the printable list. Can it be emailed to me?

Click the link that says “You can download your Nora Roberts book checklist here.” it’s right above the picture of the checklist. You can also click the picture of the checklist and it will open the download as well.

Hi, I’m looking for a Nora Roberts book… it’s about Rue. She’s the daughter of the town whore. She along with her siblings live in the mountain shack with their mother. She would visit her fathers parents who tried to help her.

Hi I just got done reading this list which is a little too spread out for me. In April 30th Kathleen Stevens wrote you about a companion book that she can check off what she’s read and what books she has. You told Kathleen that you didn’t have a checklist but you would make one for her and email it to her when you get it finished. My question is can you make that another list like that for me? I’m coming across all these Nora Roberts books at book sales and library book sales, and it’s difficult to keep looking up all these books & what they’re about and if they’re with a series. I absolutely can’t read a book if it’s in the middle of a series so I need to know something about these books that I have. Thank you so much for reading this (and helping me)

Yes, the list in in the article. There’s an image you can click that will take you to it. Alternatively, you can also just go straight to this link: https://www.tlbranson.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Nora-Roberts-Checklist.pdf

Is there a checklist that include the books that are compilations and what books are included in other titles (reprints). I am trying to find some missing books and sometimes they are in others and I have several books with multiple titles (and I have bought some 2 and 3 times lol thinking they were new titles in the past) I started creating a list of all books and it is so confusing when some titles are also in several other books… I have a couple of hundred at least!!

Thanks Kath

Unfortunately I don’t have a list that consolidates everything down into only “appearing once.” This simply covers everything Nora has ever published. You might consider downloading the checklist here: https://www.tlbranson.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Nora-Roberts-Checklist.pdf Cross off all the books you’ve already read, and then as you search for a new ones, if the book your researching is a bind-up of previously published books you can just cross it off and move on to the next book on the list.

Is there a book out after Night Work? I love Nora Roberts books!

Two new books have been announced since I last updated this page a month ago. I’ve edited the article to add them. Identity is expected to release in May, and Inheritance (the first in a new trilogy) is expected in November of 2023.

I am trying to find a book that has a red cover with a red chair and cup of coffee and the steam from the coffee makes the words for the title I think. It’s about a woman (named Andrea I believe) who inherited a haunted mansion that came with two children a boy and girl. The girls name I think was Alice and the boy was blamed for the fires and murders the ghost was responsible for. The protagonist (Andrea?) Broke up with her new boyfriend and somewhat got back together with her ex husband.. if anyone knows what I’m referring to please help. I read it about ten years ago so it’s an older novel.

I’m not finding anything with all of those details. The closest book I can find is Midnight Bayou, but it doesn’t really sound like what you’re describing. Hopefully someone else can help you out?

A big thank you for this, it is very helpful. Congrats for the great work!

Thank you so much! Just what I needed.

Is there a way I can import the checklist to excel or Google sheets so when I’m out I don’t have to bring my book with me of the list I have and list I have and read. Sorry ocd here

I am looking for a book that is about a woman who is competing in an equestrian world event. She is the daughter of a person in national security who is highly protected. Father hires men to protect his daughter. Daughter falls in love with one of her protectors. The close protection officer disappears when called on a mission. She is devastated and moves to a remote farm until he finds her.

Hi, I’m just listening to an audiobook, The Witching Hour by Nora Roberts. I can’t find it on your list.

Nora Roberts is an Irish-American author of more than 200 romance, romantic thriller, and romantic science fiction novels, and one of the most respected and recognizable writers still working today. She has been lauded as being one of the most prolific authors of the late 20th century, and has has penned more than 80 bestsellers under various pseudonyms. Her books have explored the depth of human emotion, while still being paragons of storytelling and the art of drama.

Who is Nora Roberts?

Nora Roberts was born Eleanor Marie Robertson in Silver Spring, Maryland in 1950. She was raised Irish Catholic, and attended Catholic School until her sophomore year, when she transferred to Montgomery Blair Public High School, from which she graduated in 1968. Having no formal training as a writer, and no tertiary education, she also never wrote for pleasure throughout school, though she has described herself as being a wonderful storyteller, and inventing stories and fabrications, some of which are still believed by her mother today. Married for the first time in the summer of the same year, she settle in Keedysville, Maryland with her first husband, who worked at a family business. Still not writing, she spent most of her time caring for her two sons and doing crafts.

Early Prose

The impetus for writing came during a heavy snowstorm in the year 1979. Snowed in, she began to put ideas to paper, and these notes soon became a manuscript for what would become a later novel. She soon had six completed manuscripts that she submitted, without success to, Harlequin Publishing, being rejected multiple times. She found success with the newly formed Silhouette Publishing with her first novel, Irish Thoroughbred, being published in 1981.

Writing more than 20 novels for Silhouette, she was encouraged to begin writing under a pseudonym, J.D. Robb, to allow her new publisher, Putnam Publishing, to publish more of her work each year. Writing under the J.D. Robb handle, she began writing romantic suspense novels, the first being published in 1995. Also under the J.D. Robb pseudonym, she began work on her most influential wring, what would become known as the “ In Death ” series.

The first novel of the series details the working relationship of a futuristic detective and her husband in 2050’s New York City. Each set of books in the series are designed to be read ad trilogies, as is much of Nora Roberts’ work, enabling the author to fully flesh out the characters and themes of her works, as well as adding intricate and developed plot lines that are hallmarks of her style.

The ”In Death” Series

Being her most popular series to date, the “in Death” series is comprised of almost 50 novels, all published between 1995 and 2013. The series contains elements of romance, science fiction, thriller, and police procedural that meshes and blends together perfectly.

The first book in the series, Naked in Death, was published in 1995, and made the New York Times Bestseller List shortly thereafter. Naked in Death details a the murder of an influential, affluent prostitute and the character Det. Eve Dallas’ attempt to both solve the case and reconcile her feeling with the death of a young women whose death she could not prevent. The book draws heavily on science fiction motifs, while remaining strongly grounded in reality and veering away from fantastical settings.

The novel also details the relationship between Detective Dallas and enigmatic wealthy Irish businessman Roarke, who is the primary suspect. The book was released to such glowing critical and commercial praise that the second novel, Glory in Death, was published only a few months after the initial publication of the first novel. The sophomore effort for the “In Death” series, Glory in Death, revolves around the murder of a prominent attorney for the District Attorney’s Office.

It introduces many recurring characters, including Officer Delia Peabody, and further details the world of 2058 New York City. Glory in Death was received as a more complete and mature novel, fleshing out the future setting while retaining the elements of romance and suspense that made the previous novel successful.

Other Works

Besides the “In Death” series, Nora Roberts is know for her prolific and immense body of work, routinely writing and publishing an average of 15 novels per year. She is best know for publishing trilogies of romance thrillers, which, according to Nora Roberts herself, allows the work come together more completely, and enables a more fluid and accessible storyline.

Published almost exclusively in paperback from, most of her work in this genre is created this way to enable fans of the series minimum downtime between novels, allowing them to complete the story sooner. Nora Roberts’ work is regularly adapted into television and mad-for-television films for the Lifetime cable network. She became the first author to ever have her work adapted consecutively by the network, and multiple works of hers, have been adapted since. Some of the most viewed programming has been the network’s adaptations of Montana Sky, Blue Smoke, and Carolina Moon.

Activities out side of Authorship

In 1997, the author that was the cause of her being turned down by Harlequin Publishing in 1980, Janet Dailey admitted to plagiarizing numerous passages form many of Nora Roberts’ works. After a lawsuit was settled in her favor, she donated the entire proceeds to the Literacy Volunteers of America Foundation.

This is not her only work with charity, however, as she is also a frequent contributor to numerous other charitable foundations, with the Giving Back Fund report regularly listing her as one of the most charitable donors. Her work has been honored by numerous awards, and she was the first writer honored with induction to the Romance Writer’s Hall of Fame.

She was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in 2007, and since 1999 every one of her published romances has been listed on the New York Times Bestseller list. She lives in Boonsboro, Maryland with her second husband, Bruce Wilder, and they jointly operate a bookstore called Turn the Page Books. An avid reader, she loves the Internet, using it for much of her research, and is terrified of flying.

Your books take me to unimaginable places. I think I may have missed a few but not many. My favorite are the J.D Robb series. I have read every one and look forward to the next. Thank you so much.

I can’t even explain how your stories enriched my life! Transporting me to new places and times have enriched my life and thus my family!

I love Nora Roberts books, have been collecting them for years. My favourite series is the MacGregors. She wrote about all Daniel MacGregor’s children and his grandchildren except one..What happened to Amelia,daughter of Serena and Justine Blade?

Just wondering why there are books missing from this list? I have 4 titles published by Silhouette; Wild at Heart, Irish Dreams, A Rotal Invitation, and Forever. Where can I find a list of the rest of the Silhouette published books?

Hi Rachel – they are omnibus books and we have the individual books listed so we don’t list those. Cheers

I have been reading Nora Roberts books since the early 80s. At one point my mom would read the book 1st then it went to my older brother, me and then my sister. We did this trend until my mother passed away 2 years ago. We ended up donating all the books mom had to the library in the long-term care home mom was in at the time of her death. I still read them and try to read at least 2 books a week.

Thank you for the wonderful stories. I never get enough of them and always excited when I come across a new title. This past Wednesday our clubhouse and library caught fire and all was lost. We had about 30-40 of your titles…. now nothing. I live in Bay Indies in Venice, Florida. I seem to read a book a day so will start trying to find new titles of yours. It must be wonderful to have so many stories in your mind

My favorite book/s by Nora Roberts is the Three Sisters Island trilogy…couldn’t put it down and have reread it more than once. I search out her books wherever I go, as well as JD Robb. As an aspiring writer, I can only hope to write as well as Nora Roberts, someday.

I have been reading Nora Robert’s and her JD Robb books for years I try to read them in order I do the in death series it takes about 2 years then they get packed up and the Nora Robert books come in and ate put into the book case its harder to read them in order as she wrote them because she wrote them different time’s so I have them as my own series she’s the only author I seem to be able to read ! I hope she continues to write.

Just finished the Dragon Heart Legacy and must say it was fabulous! I, too, have been a Nora Roberts fan for years and can’t wait for new ones to come out. (Love JD Robb, also.) I wanted to say that I can’t believe how ideas come to Nora and then she is able to flesh out the stories in such complete detail that I know that I am in the story. I can see the stories completely in my mind. Please continue to write and I will continue to read.

I have read the Harlequin copy of The Calhouns: Catherine and Amanda, where can I find a copy of the Story of Lilah and the the discovery of the Saphires? Or is there a Story about Susanna?

Where do you live I have a spare copy of Lilah

Nightwork has replaced Undercurrents as my new alltime favorite but I think Desperation might sneak up on Faithless as my new ID favorite, we will see as I can’t wait to read Desperation ID. I preordered it. Wish There was early editions like Shelter and Come Sundown. Should do those more often! I start to have withdrawal symptoms between books I can’t get them fast enough!!! I love those books! All of them!!

Nora! Will you write some more books about the Quinn Brothers? I read all three once or twice already and I’m reading them again now.

There are 4 Quinn brothers books. The last one is Chesapeake Blue that is adult Seth’s story.

Nora, I’m just finishing, “Black Hills” Are there anymore with Dr. Lillian Chance and Coop?

Unfortunately, that one is a standalone and they don’t appear in any other novels at this time.

I just finished The Liar and was hoping there would be a story about Forest, the brother of Shelby.

I was wondering if there was a second book to Tonight and Always. It’s my favorite, and I hate how it leaves you wondering if Kasey actually does have one more child or two more.

Unfortunately not.

I have read all In Death Books, should be a TV series. The new Dragon Heart Legacy series is Great, When is the 3rd book coming, I cant wait

I’ve said this a million times over the years lol. I can only assume the author is opposed to the idea. At one time many years ago I’d have blamed it on the inherent cost of producing a futuristic television series that wouldn’t come off cheesy but now? Not so much.

I’m inclined to think it’s because she’s not willing to relinquish any creative control over the characters and storyline.

I like reading all books cause it so beautiful and romantic. The fiction books are more lovely and interesting just turning the page and get thrilled

I have been with Nora since she started writing. I started a collection of her books. When she started her In Death I couldn’t put it down till I finished them. I’m now 82 and enjoy reading on my kindle which has been a blessing. My daughter has upgraded my kindle three times so I don’t miss any books. Keep up the great work.

I can’t say that I have any other author that I would read regardless of the type of story! However, Nora’s Irish stories are my favorites, and I have read and re-read them over the years. There is an instinctive feeling of familiarity every time I open my books! I’m 63 and started reading her books in my 30s. I thank Nora for helping me escape from life, for making me laugh, for making me cry..all of the things a great writer can do.

I love the “in Death” books. I have the library hold them for me when they arrive. I have read Nora’s books for years and enjoy them immensely and recommend them often. I don’t see the problem with calling a dog “Bollocks”. It could have been much worse.

Love all of her books J D Robb and Nora Roberts. Keep going.

i discovered Nora when i was just 22, i’m now 36, and i have since read everything i can get my hands on of hers. My favorites are absolutely the in death series. i would go to barnes and noble and order 5 or 6 at a time and then devour them and go back to order the next few. The trilogies that include a bit of magic and sci-fi are usually my favorite, but her regular romance novels are also to die for. I’m about to devour the latest in death book as we speak. No other author i read is able to bump out as many books as fast as Nora, and for a fast, eager reader like myself, that’s such an amazing thing. I will take a little time off, then come back and have 2 or 3 new Nora books to read. Also, i have a pet hen named Mavis, after one of my most favorite characters in her books.

Once I discovered Nora roberts,I have read every book. The stories are so capitaving and put you right into the story. It’s amazing all the detail. In these books,that you feel like you are right there

Just finished The Next Always can’t wait to get my hands on the next two in this trilogy….Love Nora Roberts books…She must write constantly, I’ll never catch up on all of her stories,but I’m going to keep trying❤

I have read all three of them !!! They are very good I just hate how it end in book three … wish it was more

I didn’t think the Becoming was out until November? I’m British and wish that Breen’s dog was called anything BUT ‘Bollocks’ – which is considered a swear word or a name for testicles and something I only ever use if I remember that I’ve forgotten something. It’s something my (now grown-up) children would never have dared say in my hearing. I’m really broad minded but this name really bothers me. Am I missing the point as to why the dog’s called this. I am a Nora Roberts fan and have read most of her books but this really, really bothers me. M

I agree wholeheartedly! Bad name anywhere.

I don’t see anything wrong with it. The only thing I see wrong is that Nora Roberts doesn’t know all of the words/names in all of the languages around the world. Even a name like Max would offend someone somewhere.

I love the inn boonsboro books and the other trilogy’s. I love your work. I had just about all your books but had to downsize because the pandemic we had to move which was a nightmare. If I ever get my own house and dont have to move I will start collecting again. God bless you cant wait till your next books come out

It’s called Bollocks because irreverence runs through writing as an American characteristic for flouting decorum. There are examples everywhere, so I’m a bit stunned when it shows up in her British characters that weren’t born in a coal bin.

I haven’t read a Nora Roberts work that I haven’t loved. Just can’t put them down. Hope to get through all of them before I die!!!!

I have read The Awakening an am about to begin The Becoming. I was swallowed op by the Awakening and am hoping that I can follow the saga to greater heights. If I have not found the follow on pieces of this group, I would be more than pleased to chase them down if you will give me the pathway.

By the way, in case you haven’t already discerned my motive, I dearly loved The Awakening and prologue and will devour what follows, if such there is to be found.

Did Nora Roberts write a third book in Starlight series?

A review of...

Cilla McGowen is the granddaughter of Hollywood legend Janet Hardy and the daughter of a Hollywood wannabe. She was a child star with her own series, but when the series ended and voice overs and bit parts didn't interest her any longer, she knew she wanted something more out of life than the flash and burn of Hollywood. So she went to college for a semester, then got married and subsequently divorced (even though her exhusband and her are still best friends).

Now, when Dilly, Cilla's mother, needs money to get a show together, Cilla offers her the money for a piece of family property located in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Dilly begrudgingly takes the money and hands over the unmaintained property.

Ford Sawyer, the neighbor across the road, meets Cilla and can't quite shake the feelings he has for her. Ford and Cilla start getting together when the accidents start and he tries to help her solve the mysterious death of her grandmother, and find out who is trying to run her off from Little Farm in order to keep the secrets hidden.

This is a good book for curling up with and having a nice cup of tea, it's not my typical murder mystery but it really has substance and feeling, I will keep it with my growing collection of Nora Roberts books. It has kind of a homey feel to it.

Ghosts, a century old scandal, and a sweet romance thrown in...the final book in Nora Roberts' In the Garden trilogy has it all.

Hayley Phillips traveled to Memphis, pregant and alone, to start a new life for herself and her unborn daughter after the death of her father. She left what she knew for the unknown. She took a chance on asking a distant cousin, Roz Harper, for help (a place to stay and a job) and ended up finding the love of a lifetime in Roz's son Harper Ashby.

Megan's Mate

Megan O'Riley never planned to give her heart to another man after the father of her nine year old son seduced, impregnated, and then abandon them to marry his fiance. While Megan hadn't known about the other woman at the time, she still harbors shame at being the other woman.

Years later, she's smarter, no longer an inexperienced seventeen year old girl. But when she meets Nathanial Fury she's still--understandably--a little reluctant to give in to her feelings. The rush of overwhelming emotion is hard to ignore, however, and they inevitably work their way through her shields.

Where Nora started...

Most who've followed Nora from the start (and even those who're just finding her) will know that her career began when she sold her first book to Silhouette/Harlequin.

A lot of her books are being reprinted by them every so often to keep the story in circulation. Most of them are actually being reprinted with multiple stories all in one book.
