Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wade in deeper to find a wonderful story.
Review: The story's lack of easy answers makes it an engaging tale. I enjoyed this book as well as its sequel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is one of my favorite Nora Roberts novels!
Review: I just can't say enough things about this book! This book makes me want to hop onto a plane and go to Ireland and find a man like Aidan! I read the book in two days because I was so caught up in the story that I just couldn't put it down. I was amused and annoyed with both Jude's and Aidan's stubbornness. It only added to the magic of their story. I laughed in quite a few spots, and felt Aidan and Jude's pain and fears. After this book all I have to say is bring on Shawn and Brenna!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfection.
Review: Nora Roberts has written more than the typical romance novel; she has woven a love story that reminds you of all the sweetness of falling in love. An astonishing storyteller, Roberts is equally capable of rendering a captivating plot as she is of painting a village so peaceful and charming it makes you want to sell your house and move to Ireland.

Having spent time living in Ireland, I have to say that Roberts's depiction of the people and the place are nothing short of amazing. The way that she recreates the feeling of the land, of the people that inhabit it, made me love the story for its ability to take me back there as much as for the story itself. One might scoff at her liberal use of spirits and fairies, but if you have ever been to Ireland, you know that the place radiates a feeling that makes anything seem possible. There is a quality unique to the lush green landscape that makes believing much more logical and natural than disbelieving, and Roberts has captured that perfectly. Likewise, the Irish are very much as she describes in her book: kind to strangers, amiable and full of laughter, witty and clever to distraction. The dialogue in the book just rolls off the pages with an Irish lilt, and to read her characters's words was like finding myself back on the jeweled isle once more. Although you may not find an Aidan or have a wild love affair if you should go visit Ireland, rest assured that the people and the place are exactly as Roberts tells it.

Nora Roberts is a wonderful storyteller and I loved the story as much as I loved her choice of settings. Jude is a very real character with so many doubts and hesitations that are in each of us, and I was startled more than once by Roberts's ability to hit it right on the nail. Jude's character develops very nicely and believably, and I was pleased that love is not used as a convenient device to solve all problems. Jude and Aidan come together (of course), but not without Jude first coming to the truth of who she is as an individual. Aidan is a wonderful character, and his words made me laugh as often as they made my heart melt away. The other characters in the book are equally intriguing and interesting in their own right, and I loved how Roberts incorporated the Irish folktales into the story. This is a blissfully sweet love story, a fairytale to read and treasure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A true jewel.
Review: I had never read a Nora Roberts books before. However, some of my friends had and were not exactly pleased with what they had read. They said she was not consistent. Some books were good, others you just couldn't get into. Well, let me tell you. I LOVE this series. I couldn't put this book down and I couldn't wait until its sequel came out. I read Tears of the Moon in less time that Jewels of the Sun and now I must wait again for her final installment. I have passed both books on to my friends and they have all enjoyed them. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Nora Roberts for such wonderful books. They are easy to read and you feel as tho you are a living part of her story.

I plan to read some of her other books...but I may have been spoiled by what may be her best series of books. We'll see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jewels of the sun
Review: This was one fantastic book. It really kept my attention. I followed up with Tears of the moon and I can't wait for her 3rd book. I highly recommend these books to everyone who enjoys romance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jewels of the Sun
Review: I was swept away to Ireland and into a world of romance. The legends were wonderful. It was a quick read as I had a hard time putting it down. Someday I will visit Ireland, its a must now. My only request is to make the books a little longer. This book is second only to the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I PACKED AND READY TO GO - THIS BOOK IS A JEWEL!
Review: Nora Roberts keeps us happy with all the romance, fun, and adds a bit of magic all in one book. The story was great and I couldn't put it down! I laughed and cried, and was ready to kiss the Blarney Stone when I finished. Waiting for the next two. Thanks again for your magic brew, Nora, you're the BEST!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: nora roberts' sense of humor along with her great romances
Review: To start with "I love Nora Roberts". Anything she has written I have thoroughly enjoyed. I have bought or read everything she has written. In Jewels of the Sun, I especially enjoyed the brady Irish humor that appears so frequently. Having visited Ireland, I recognized the coarse yet loving expressions that appear so frequently in this book. As usual Robert's vivid descriptions of the scenes makes you feel you are there. I look forward to the second book of this triology as I'm sure the other two siblings are as strong and interesting as well as romantic, as is Aidan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: magical
Review: Jewels of the Sun is outstanding! It is funny, romantic and magical, and it wraps you up and doesn't let you go.

I related to Jude in a way that I have not with any of Roberts' other female characters. Yes, Jude was weak at times, but aren't we all? It was nice to read about a character who is unsure of herself, but finds the strength to change to the person she wants to be. Aiden compliments Jude because he, along with some interesting fairies, helps her to see that she can be whatever she wants to be.

It's a great book, and I have already purchased and read the second book in the trilogy. Keep 'em coming Nora Roberts!!
