Summary: Take me Away
Review: This was a great read. The book transported me to Ireland. I could not put it down. I can't wait for the next one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Winner
Review: I love Nora Robert's books and this one is another great book. It has humor and wonderful memorable characters.I can not wait until the next two.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A beautiful introduction to the Ireland trilogy
Review: I have always loved Nora Robert's trilogies. And I know the Ireland trilogy shall be comparable to her other trilogies. I did not think Jude was spineless and "milktoast." She merely had to find herself, something which is not easily done in the midst of American culture. Aidan was simply irresistable. He not only had charisma and charm, but he made me want to become Jude... I loved this book and so did my friend who up til this book had never finished a romance novel much to my dismay. You won't be wasting your money here.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is a must read
Review: Nora has done it again. If you loved the Born In series, then you've got to read this. Nora brings the legends of Ireland to life in this book. I can't wait for the next two.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Disappointing
Review: This is an example of how Nora is going the wrong direction. The main character is milk toast. She gets excited that she is in a cottage with no microwave, and no dryer, so she has to cook, and hang up clothes on a clothes line with clothes pins for excitement. Then she gets to traipse through the fields and meet a god who is pining for a ghost woman that inhabits her house and cries occasionally. Can this plot be intentional? I really wish Nora would go back to her stories where the women are tough and the story is full of action, like the Star Series, or even the Harbor series. Those were so much more thrilling and the women in them so much more interesting and empathetic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nora is back!
Review: I am a HUGE Nora Roberts fan. I have read 57 of her books written as herself and J.D. Robb, two of those being compilations. Lately I was getting discouraged because her books were getting a bit repetitive as if they were all comming out of the same mold. I was a bit hesitant when I read the synopsis on the back of this book, thinking to myself that it sounded all too familiar. Boy, was I wrong! This story is fresh and dynamic. You'll want to cheer for Jude Murray and all the wonderful characters that surround her. One of the things that endears me most to Nora is her wonderful sense of family and community and this is one of her best examples to date. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to get away from it all for a few chapters and step into the wonderful world of Ireland dipicted by Nora Roberts!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Ireland, here I come!
Review: Thanks to this book, I'm now in love with Ireland. Ireland is beautiful and glorious and the skies are blue and strangers open their doors wide for me.

But frankly, this story is snoozesville. The heroine is your typical sappy no-confidence no-clue woman who realizes, "Gee! I don't love my ex!" while having tea with a Wise Woman in a scenic inn. The hero is your typical see-her-want-her tepid sort of guy. What's to stop them from snogging at first sight? Well, there's always the heroine's contrived no-confidence plot angle.

This book is pretty, scenic, well-written, but it is also slow-moving and nothing actually happens. All that's missing is the "Sound Of Music" soundtrack when Jude walks around Ye Irish Countryside.

File this under "Favorites Of The Irish Tourism Board".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can't wait for the next one...
Review: Loved it! Can't wait for the next one! Another great addition to Ms. Roberts' impressive writing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A True Roberts Jewel
Review: I have not enjoyed a Roberts novel more, since "Montana Sky."

The characters are both believable and likeable. Roberts' manages to build elements in the heroine's character that all woman are able to relate to. However, we can't forget the sexy hero that has just as much learning to do.

Not only do I want to go to Ireland and meet a beautiful Irishman, but I also can't wait for the next edition to the trilogy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can't wait for the next one!
Review: I love all of Nora Roberts' trilogies, but her stories from Ireland are among my favorites. Although the book starts out a little slow, it is a great read. I especially can't wait until the next book in the series comes out!
