Rating:  Summary: Jewels of the Sun is a real jewel! Review: Jewels of the sun is about a young woman who needs to find her self so she goes to Ireland to a cottage owned by a cousin who resently died. In finding her self she finds love and meets a ghost and the ghosts love (a fairy Prince) Carrick. Nora Roberts is a fantastic author and she really struck a cord in me. Ireland comes alive in this book, and you can really feel the accents and the tone of the people. It's a book you can definitly read twice and not get bored.
Rating:  Summary: I found in boring Review: When I read Nora Roberts, I usually cannot put it down. However, this book I could not pick up. I found it boring. The book is good, but not up to the caliber of her Quinn Series or her other Irish trilogy or her Dream series. I hope the other books are better.
Rating:  Summary: Average Nora Review: This is an average Roberts novel. I found the contrivances keeping the couple apart even less compelling than usual, and the ghost story was not as interesting as the Calhoun novels. But still a one-sitting read, and the next two novels look promising.
Rating:  Summary: A very good read.. can't wait for more! Review: This is the type of Nora Roberts I like... This book made you want to be involved all the way. I just returned from Ireland this summer and remembered alot of places in Dublin she mentioned.I cannot wait for Shawn & Darcy's stories. Thank You Nora.
Rating:  Summary: Highly Recommended Review: Wonderful! The characters and the setting came alive. I was sad to have finished it so soon.
Rating:  Summary: Another Roberts triumph! Review: I could not put this book down! Ms. Roberts weaves another intriguing tale using magic, strong characters, and beauty. I loved the cadence of the text--you could hear the Irish rhythms not only in the speech of her characters, but in her descriptive passages. She catches the beauty of Ireland and uses it throughout the tale. Jude and Aiden make a great couple--she is working hard to develop herself, and he is strong enough to learn how to bend. I can't wait for the next two books in this trilogy!
Rating:  Summary: Hello travel agent, I'd like to book passage to Ardmore! Review: As an avid reader it was quite a surprise when I picked up this book and was so totally swept away. If I could just transport myself to the village of Ardmore, I too would be content for life. The story is wonderful, the characters rich, warm and oh so very real. You feel like you have just slipped right in the middle of a wonderful family. Safe, secure, loved and harrased! And I haven't even mentioned you'll need a box of tissue to wipe away the tears of laughter! I can't wait for the story of Shawn and Mary Brenna...and even more to come about our clothes horse Darcy.... Thanks Nora Roberts for a wonderful and delightful read!
Rating:  Summary: Not her best but worth the money! Review: Nora Roberts' storytelling is still captivating and entertaining. I read it in one day. It isn't one of her best, however, it is definitely worth the money. The only downfall to Nora Roberts is that she can't write as fast as I read!
Rating:  Summary: CLASSIC NORA ROBERTS PAGETURNER Review: The Gallagher's are a complex and interesting group. Nora makes you feel like one of the Irish in the first of this trilogy. Nobody does trilogies better than Nora Roberts and this is a prime example of why. The only problem is that they aren't coming fast enough.
Rating:  Summary: I wanted to pack my bags and move there myself! Review: Wow! Nora does Ireland first rate! I loved the Born in Trilogy and I loved this book too. Her characters are wonderful and she paints a picture of Ireland that starts a yearning in my celtic blood! I read this book in just 2 nights and would read it again, but have already lent it to a friend. After reading the excerpt on Shawn and Brenna's story, I will wait on pins and needles until the next installment. This was a WONDERFUL READ!
