The following review is for 18+ readers
The #1 New York Times
bestselling author presents her latest blockbuster novel, the story of a
big-screen legend, a small-town scandal and a young woman caught up in
the secrets and shadows of both.
Cilla McGowan, a former child star, has found a more satisfying life restoring homes. So she comes to Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley to save the dilapidated farmhouse that once belonged to her grandmother—a legendary actress who died of an overdose more than thirty years ago.
Plunging into the project with gusto, Cilla’s almost too busy and exhausted to notice her neighbor, graphic novelist Ford Sawyer. Determined not to carry on the family tradition of ill-fated romances, Cilla steels herself against Ford’s quirky charm, though she can’t help indulging in a little fantasy.
But it’s reality that holds its share of dangers for Cilla. A cache of unsigned letters found in the attic points to a mysterious romance in her grandmother’s life—and may be the catalyst for a frightening, violent assault. And if Cilla and Ford are unable to sort out who is targeting her and why, she may, like her world-famous grandmother, be cut down in the prime of her life.

Review
Tribute
is about an ex-star named Cilla who buys her grandmothers house and
fixes it. Along the way she meets Ford and in the process she is finally
able to find out what really happened to her grandmother and her true
inner strength. Cilla is a really likable woman, she is strong with a
great sense of humor, yet she has an inner vulnerability that only gets
seen by those close to her. Ford is interesting, he is an artist and
comic geek, yet he is not feminine nor is he shy. He has strong opinions
and a wonderful sense of humor. He balances out Cilla's larger than
life personality and when things get tough he is right there with her.
While Cilla is fixing up the house she has someone sabotaging her
project, someone trashes her bathrooms and calls to change her orders.
There is a mystery behind Cilla’s grandmothers’ death, her and Ford try
to find out who her grandmother was having an affair with before she
died. This book is one of my favorite Nora Roberts, it starts out as a
lazy day read and I kept telling myself oh I'll put it down after this
chapter. This book really sucked me in and before I knew I had finished
it.
