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.

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!

The Irish Trilogy is overall one of my favorites. This book ties up all the loose ends of everyone's story very neatly, but is my least favorite of the three. Just not as strong as the other two in character and plausibility. Still a good, quick read.

The trilology begins with Jude going to Ireland to explore her family history. You are brought into the magic and music of this family as the legends they believe in.

This is one of the best I have read by Nora Roberts, but I have a love of Irish history and lore and this is what it's all about, set in Ireland and a pretty good love story, but not mushy, mushy like Danielle Steele's books.
