5.0 out of 5 stars Very highly recommended!!
Reviewed in Canada on February 16, 2001
Professional ballet dancer Kate Stanislaski returns home to open the dance studio of which she's always dreamed. Tired of the harsh pace of dancing in New York, she's ready for the quite life. She didn't expect, however, to meet sexy Brody O'Connell in her mother's toy store almost as soon as she set foot in town. Nor did she expect to find their mutual attraction so powerful. Most men have taken a look at her delicate form and assumed romanticism and fragility. Seldom could they cope with what they really find--steel. Brody, however, is up to the challenge.
A widower, Brody's one priority for the last six years has been his son Jack. Fatherhood had "kicked the stuffing out of the arrogant, careless and often reckless boy. And it had made a man out of him." Soon he finds himself contracted to do the renovation on Kate's studio, and when he goes to the building, he sees Kate dancing inside. She absolutely dazzles him. Kate ignores Brody's protests that he's not interested in getting involved, intuiting where his real concerns lie. Brody might protest all he wants, but Kate gets what she wants. And she wants Brody has her husband and Jack as her son.
Rather than being put off by Brody's moods, Kate finds herself invigorated by the way he gets scowly and turned on at the same time--she believes it is both challenging and sexy. Kate gives as good as she takes, never hesitating to tell the director that he look like a pig, in the Ukrainian language, or Brody where to stuff it. She's accustomed to hard work, and doesn't shy away from darkened basements or the bottom line of a very expensive renovation, always keeping her eye on the goal. Indeed, Kate's fierce determination makes her character extraordinary and appealing. No self doubt for this powerful woman.
I'm blushing to admit this, but CONSIDERING KATE is the first novel I've read by Nora Roberts. Yes, I know she's one of the queens of romance, but this reviewer seldom reads by choice, instead I read what lands on my desk by request. After reading CONSIDERING KATE, however, I hereby consider myself an ardent fan and intend to spend more time on books by Nora Roberts! Roberts' independent and spirited characters, the wonderful Stanislaski family, and her sparkling narrative voice make this book a keeper. Very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book Six!
Reviewed in Canada on September 9, 2003
This is Book Six in the Stanislaski series. Here you meet Kate...Natasha and Spence Kimball's (Taming Natasha) little girl all grown up. Retired prima ballerina, now back home in West Virginia where she grew up (her parents still live in the same house) Now she has purchased an old run down building that she hopes to turn into a dance school where she hopes to be the best teacher just like her Dad...
She runs into Brody O'Connell in her mothers toy store (which is cool because that's how her parents met!) and finds out he is single with a six year old son Jack and widowed. She hires Brody to turn the building into her dreams and hopes and finds out that Brody himself fits into her happy long life dreams and hopes and wishes. He is perfect!
The Stanislaski series is one of my personal fav's by Roberts and I was sad for this quick read to end. Enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not up to Nora's usual standard
Reviewed in Canada on July 19, 2001
This book was sopmewhat disappointing. I ALWAYS read Nora Robert new books, but this plot of this one is too recycled. It's a continuation of the Stanislaski series and she doesn't go far enough away from the original books. This book is not up to the standard of the first books or her J. D. Robb series. Maybe she's trying to write too many books at once.

4.0 out of 5 stars A lovely, quick read!
Reviewed in Canada on November 27, 2001
"Considering Kate" is an excellent addition to the Stanislaski series. It is a quick read, and yet still manages to contain well-developed characters. I have no qualms about recommending this novel, it is well-written and lots of fun.
The story revolves around Kate Kimball, daughter of Natasha and Spence from "Taming Natasha." Kate has given up her career in the spotlight as a prima ballerina and has returned to her hometown to pursue her new dream of opening a dance school. She buys a wonderful but run-down old building and needs to find someone to renovate it. Sexy Brody O'Connell seems to be just the man for the job, so Kate hires his company to do the restoration. The chemistry between these two all but sparks from the pages, and Brody soon finds himself unable to resist his attraction to Kate. However, with Brody comes his six year old son, Jack, and Brody, being a responsible and loving parent, is concerned about the effect his relationship with Kate will have on his son. Because of this Brody is determined to take things slowly. Kate quickly finds herself falling in love with both father and son, and she decides that she will not stop until both of them belong to her.
The romance between Kate in Brody is exciting and absorbing, and keeps the reader turning pages. The relationship that is portrayed between Brody and Jack is incredibly touching, and shows the reader how sensitive and caring this man really is. Kate's relationship with Jack, and Jack's proposal to Kate near the end of the book will warm your heart.
This is a relatively short story, but it never fails to amaze me how much emotion and romance NR can pack into her shorter novels. This book will touch your heart, make you laugh and give you several hours of pure enjoyment!

I can not find fault with any of these books on the Stanislaskis - with the exception that they have to end but Nora Roberts is blessed with they way she is able to entwine these people all together. The characters are so immense once you read them that you will become addicted to reading anything this author writes. Simply Brilliant

5.0 out of 5 stars The sixth and final book in a great series
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2014

Considering Kate is the last of six books in Norah Roberts' fine and fascinating series on the Stanislaski Family. It's NOT a new series of books, so if you've been reading Nora for a couple of decades, as I have, you've probably already read all six and enjoyed them once. They're worth another read and these e-versions definitely belong on the Kindles of Nora's devoted fans. Just be careful and try to read them in order; Amazon doesn't make this easy because on the KINDLE Bookstore site, if you search for "Stanislaski series" you'll be taken to a page that has the first two (or maybe three) in the order in which they were written, but gets the others all mixed up! To help you out, here is the chronological order of the series (and a couple of words on the relationship with Natasha of each protagonist):
1. Taming Natasha
2. Luring a Lady, featuring Mikhail, Natasha's brother.
3. Falling for Rachel, featuring Rachel, Natasha's sister.
4. Convincing Alex, featuring Alexi, Natasha's brother.
5. Waiting for Nick, featuring Natasha's brother-in-law's brother!!
6. Considering Kate, featuring Natasha' s daughter.
In all of the books, you'll also meet or renew your relationship with Mama (Nadia) and Papa (Yuri) Stanislaski. Enjoy!

HOLD THE PRESSES. AN UPDATE: As of Jan. 15, 2014, Amazon's Kindle Store is offering, for a great price, the ebook Stanislaski's Bundle 1 of 2: Considering Kate\Convincing Alex\Falling for Rachel. Note, however, that once again, the publisher managed to mess up the order in which the books should be read for the best reader enjoyment! Amazing!!
