Search - Jewels of the Sun (Irish Trilogy, Bk 1)

I thouroughly enjoyed this book! It sparks your imagination and makes you want to visit Ireland! This is the second trilogy I have read by Roberts and I enjoy how each book focuses on a seperate main character. And she builds up the characters so well that you feel like you know them and really care what happens to them.

Jude Murray is not happy with her life. So she leaves Chicago and moves to Ireland for a fresh start, intending to study Irish folklore. Soon she meets the Gallaghers and is quite taken with Aidan Gallagher, pub owner and storyteller.

I was really bored with the first 100 pages. This did not seem like a Nora Roberts book. The writing was too lyrical. Finally the story picked up and the characters became more interesting. I was satisfied with the ending of this book and am looking forward to the next book in the series. My rating: 3.5 Stars.

This is the first book in the Gallaghers of Ardmore trilogy. Roberts weaves Irish folklore into her stories in sucha a way that makes you almost believe it. Aidan and Jude Frances find their place in the 100-year-old spell that has been cast on a faerie prince and his true love.

A great summer read!

Nice story, I loved the imagery, and descriptions, made me feel as though I was seeing it for myself. I also enjoyed the mythical aspect.

I am not a huge fan of Nora Roberts but I picked this book up because it takes place in Ireland. She describes Ireland beautifully, so much so, I want to pick up and move there as well. There are parts where I believe she reaches just to add pages to the novel. But all in all, a good book. The characters are solid, witty, and fun. Its a great summer book to loose yourself in!

One of my favorite Nora Roberts trilogies. I was so immersed in the story, it felt like I was there watching it all unfold..
