I have been reading Nora Roberts for YEARS. I love her writing, all of it. There are some I like better than others but I always like the story.
Three Fates, in my opinion is BY FAR her best single title ever. It is lovely and funny and sad WOW! I just reread it for about the bazillionth time and it once again jumps out as my favorite.
I love her series and trilogies and have a few of them as my favs...but for single titles this one is it for me.
If you haven't read it yet, give yourself a treat and try it now. If you like Nora you will not be disappointed!!
Happy reading,

I bought this book for just something to read on a long flight but I could not put it down!!! Its a modern day treasure hunt with a evil villian and of course ... romance!!! If you read this book and like it I suggest you read "Hot Ice" by Nora Roberts and "The Book of Seven Delights" by Betina Krahn.

This book as absolutely charming, exciting, and very funny.
The book starts out with Malachi and Tia.
Malachi is the oldest brother of an Irish family. His family has a legendary story from a great-great grandfather, who had brought a silver Fate statue into their family. However, he knows there are two others. So he tracks down someone, who is somewhat unsuspecting to his intentions for information.
Tia is totally clueless, and very adorable. She's a book writer, and studies in the greek mythology. She's kinda kookie, and she's not sure how much she can trust Malachi. She needs plenty of advice from lawyer and hairdresser to help her see things clearly. She also has this goofy attribute from her mother; she's very obsessive compulsive with the maniacal many diseases that her mother has instituted in her to plague her mind.
There are also secondary stories intermixing: With Gideon, the second brother and an exotic dancer running through Rome and being chased around New York. And also Rebecca, the younger sister gets pulled into the mix with a wealthy New York security executive, who also collects sculpted art and has a personal interest in the Fates.

I really enjoyed this book. Liked it so much, I got it in hardback!
This is 1 story about 2 brothers and a sister and the figurines of the 3 fates. If you like Nora Roberts Trilogy Books, you will enjoy this one. It was like 3 books in 1. There was plenty of globe hopping from Ireland, to New York to Greece. Parts of the story are contrived, but you are so caught up in the story, you won't notice till much later on. Overall, it is definately a keeper.

This was my first Nora Roberts book (I read it in 2003)and I loved it! It certainly made me want to read more of her books.
Nora Roberts does it again. Great suspense, love story of two brothers and a sister and a statue of great importance.
Another great Nora Roberts books. A good read.
Unabridged on 10 cassettes.
Awesome book! Definitely a keeper and one I will enjoy reading over and over.
A great read and mystery. Published in 2003, it's one of Nora's best. A classic. I've read this novel several times over the years, as it takes you on a great ride in intrigue over several decades, interesting characters, with romance thrown in. But mostly, it's the author's way of writing that captivates you, and you "fall into the story."

GREAT BOOK
One of Nora's very best! Follow three couples to find the third Fate. A lot of love, mystery, and action. A marvelous read!
when the Lustantia sank, there was one survivor - who pocketed a small statue. A century later it surfaces and the family searches to regain the family treasure.
First book I\'ve read my Ms. Roberts. I will definitely seek out others by this author. Very intertaining read. Likeable characters one instantly bonds with.
I loved this story a lot.. and I would like it if the author would carrying on writing more in this series. Very entertaining..
I have read every Nora Roberts book since she started writing about 30 years ago. This is by far the best and I would love for this to be put onto the "big screen". Terrific storyline, great characters and good suspense. Just an excellent book!
This was a very fascinating book. It is wonderful how Nora Roberts weaved so many people together to create a mystery like this.
An enjoyable escapist read.
Very good Nora Roberts work. If you are a fan, this is a must read.
I had read this book before, but couldn't remember the story. I enjoyed it as much the second time around!
Enjoyable romance from a great writer.
loved it could not put it down
This was a GREAT book and a quick read.
I adore novels that have accurate bits of history mixed in with the story plot, and Nora Roberts has certainly done her homework on this one! Three Fates is a real page turner.
Great book!!
I am a huge Nora Roberts fan and I have never been disappointed by her books. This is an intertwinned tale involving three couples (a one book version of her ever present trilogies). Excellent story-telling, pure Nora Roberts. #1 New York Times Bestseller.
another great book from one of my favorite authors.
Great book! As always Ms. Roberts doesn't disappoint!
The search for three antique statues of mythical power and great financial worth brings together three seemingly unlikely couples in an age-old struggle of good against evil.
A well-told tale sevan people trying to recover three silver statues that are meant to be together -- the Three Fates. Fate is a recurrent theme in this somewhat mysterious romance. I loved the characters - Roberts does that so well -- and really enjoyed the story.

A petty thief survives the sinking of the Lusitania with a small silver statue. Years later the great, great, grandchildren of the owner of two other statues attempt to reunite the three statues and make their fortune. Good book
Charming story, but predictable like most Nora Roberts books. And what's with everything in 3s??
another great one from Roberts
wish that the story was longer.
Good for one looking for a romance read.

Excellent! I love how Nora intertwines the three couples in one book, and the intrigue in the plot. I honestly didn't always know where she was going with the story, but it was a wonderful read. Nora's dialogue, one of her strengths anyway, just keeps getting better and better.

This is a store of true love and fate and family. You will love it because Nora never lets you down.
I couldn't get into it and this is the 1st nora roberts I have ever read.
Another great Nora Roberts novel.
Three Fates is a dynamic romantic suspense story about a quest inspired by legend, and accomplished by destined love. According to Greek mythology, the three Fates influence the destiny of all mankind, for one spins the thread of life, the next measures it, and the last cuts it at the proper time. To control any of the Fates is a powerful temptation.... Three beautiful silver statuettes of the Fates were made long ago, designed to link together. Legend says that to possess any of them brings good fortune -- and to possess them all brings power beyond imagining. One of the statues was stolen just before the sinking of the Lusitania. When the thief's life was spared in that disaster, he gave up his errant ways -- but he kept the statue as a keepsake and in time passed it on to his descendants. After their family is tricked out of that statue, the Sullivan siblings -- Malachi, Gideon, and Rebecca -- become determined to get it back, and to reunite the long-separated triad. Their search leads from Ireland to Europe to New York, entwining each of their lives with a new ally whose destiny is also linked with the Fates. And each of them is fated to face deadly danger as they match wits with a ruthless enemy who is determined to claim the three Fates as her own.
Great read
Acts of thievery ultimately lead to justice in the wildly prolific Roberts's latest romantic suspense novel. The little silver statues representing Greek mythology's Three Fates are an art collector's dream: they're extremely valuable individually, but priceless as a trio and legend has it that when put together, they endow their owner with power over destiny. When a German U-boat torpedoes the Lusitania in 1915, petty burglar Felix Greenfield is in the midst of purloining one of the Fates from a first-class stateroom. Felix survives the ship's sinking and vows to reform. Flash to the present, in which three of Felix's descendants calculating Malachi, slick Gideon and intelligent Rebecca Sullivan have just had their Fate stolen by Anita Gaye, a ruthless and menacing antiques dealer. Vowing to recover Felix's statue, the three siblings depart Ireland to search the globe, finding love along the way with a pan-phobic Greek scholar, a stripper and a security expert. Like the Three Fates, the six principals learn that they will only be powerful enough to defeat Anita if they can operate as a single unit. Though it's a slick, snappy read, this character-heavy sudser is far from Roberts's best. She uses the words "three" and "fate" so often that the repetition becomes comic, the siblings' exotic globe-trotting amounts to little more than location name-dropping and Anita, a villainess of Cruella de Vil proportions, is a caricature rather than a character. But Roberts has been so popular, and for so long, that her legion of fans will undoubtedly forgive her for this one while eagerly awaiting her next.
