Helpful Score: 1
A incredible romance blending the magic and mystery of Ireland, horse racing and the mysticism of the magic realm, simply a great book.
This was an excellent book - kept my attention all the way through!
Once you get started, you can't put it down.
Great read!
This is the third book of the Castlelough series and most likely the last. As with the other two books of the series, it was a delightful read. Very romantic and sweet.
But as with most of Ross's books (and I've said it over and over again in my reviews), I really wish she would create some new characters. Ross often reuses old characters and just puts a new name, age, or gender on them. Also she actually had dialogue and scenes from her other books in here (written exactly the same way just done by other characters). So in that expect, I've lost a lot of respect for Ross as a writer. Even the ring Alec got Kate was the same Erin got from Quinn in "Fair Haven" I think.
It was still a nice read although I wouldn't spend any real money on it. She does write beautifully.
