Book Description:
Second in the breathtaking Irish trilogy from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts evokes a land filled with magic, music, and myth--and captures the secret dreams and enduring passions of three extraordinary siblings...

A Talented songwriter, Shawn Gallagher spends his days lost in reverie and wonder, oblivious to the wiles of women and the ways of the world. He claims that he's content with his life, but his music tells a different story--one of loneliness and desperate longing...

No one understands why Shawn doesn't put his musical gift to profitable use--least of all Brenna O'Toole, a fiercely independent tomboy who has been secretly in love with him for years. But it is only when Shawn gives in to the mysteries of magic that he gets the chance to fulfill his destiny as a man and a musician--as the song in his head keeps time with the beating of a woman's heart...

In order to break a centuries-old spell that keeps him from his true love, Carrick, Prince of Faeries, must help pub-owners Aidan, Darcy and Shawn Gallagher fall in love. In Jewels of the Sun, the first step of Carrick's plan was completed when Aidan married Jude Murray. Now Carrick has turned to Shawn, a handsome daydreamer who spends his days composing music in his head while cooking for the pub. The faerie prince hopes to match Shawn with Brenna O'Toole, a fiery-haired carpenter with a longtime secret crush on Shawn. The problem is that Shawn is perfectly happy as a single man; he informs Carrick that he will have nothing to do with his plan. But, as anyone familiar with Irish lore will tell you, mere mortals don't stand a chance against the whims of the faeries.

Continuing her latest trilogy, begun with Jewels of the Sun, Roberts takes readers back to the magic-tinged Irish coast and into the world of the Gallaghers of Ardmore village. This time it is the dreamy, musical Shawn Gallagher and the pragmatic, no-nonsense handywoman Brenna O'Toole who feel the fey touch of Carrick, the Prince of Faeries, and his lost love Lady Gwen; but it takes a bit of doing to make this stubborn pair realize that they are truly meant to be together.

Second in the Irish Trilogy featuring the Gallagher Siblings. This one didn't captivate me the way 'Jewels of the Sun' did, but it was a good read nonetheless. I finished it in a few hours time, so it obviously wasn't a bore! Looking forward to reading the final book in this trilogy 'Heart of the Sea' and seeing what happens with the 3rd Gallagher sibling, Darcy.

Love, love this trilogy.

I have read all of Nora Roberts Trilogies and loved them all. But this one trilogy "The Irish Trilogy" found a special place in my heart. Besides learning so much of Ireland, the characters and story lines were perfect, and then I found it had a paranormal theme to them, it was so different from what I was use to reading. It was very intriguing, since I never read those types of books. It is best to start at book 1..Then after reading this one, I had to go on to cover the others. I found it so Irish and family related, and with the paranormal added to it, it just made for a perfect read and found I could not put them down...I highly suggest this trilogy, and guarantee, you will look into the others...Have fun reading and hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Pragmatic Brenna O'Toole has been in love with Shawn Gallagher for years. But Shawn is oblivious to Brenna's feelings, spending his days composing music in his head while cooking at his family's pub.

I really liked both of these characters and was rooting for them to get together. Even though Shawn's live and let live attitude would probably drive me nuts, he seems perfect for the very serious Brenna. My rating: 4 Stars.

I really, really liked this book. It picks up and runs from the first one and keeps the action, emotions and the legends going in a very interesting way. This is a must read!

I love this book! This is the second in a trilogy, and I liked how it brought me into Ireland, and the subtle magic there.
