Jewels of the Sun (Gallaghers of Ardmore, #1), Nora Roberts I also loved the underlying storyline of the Fairy prince and his love who had been waiting for him for 300 years, cursed by him to walk the lands until she would be released from her endless mourning. I also adored the setting of the novel and how Nora Roberts describes the landscape and setting of Ireland (MAKES ME WANT TO GO THERE!) They were rich and so colorfully brought out on the page. What made up for what Aiden lacked was the other characters. Aiden really didn't get redeemed for me until the very end. I loved the sexy times in this book but was just let down by how to romance progressed. I thought Aiden would be more of a deeper character but I mainly got the feeling that he was a sex driven man. My expectations for this book were fit more for a novel that was clearly focused on folklore and the history behind it. (Although sometimes I do want to read a sexy sexy book with just sexiness in it) I want to read a romance where the main characters aren't just driven by sex the whole novel but be able to relate to each other on another level, or else it doesn't seem convincing. I love books about romance, I just expected more from the romance in this one. I thought he would be more intellectual and would be interested in her for her mind and their shared love for folklore (where there was but not the main drive they had for their romance). I also really liked the main character, Jude, she had such great character development throughout the novel! The way she thought was so much fun to read and I relate to her in many ways.Īiden, the romantic interest, I liked him at first but was disappointed that he just wanted to lust over her at the beginning/middle of the novel.
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.This is my very first Nora Roberts book and I enjoyed it! I love the concept of it having Celtic folklore in it (and fairy princes). 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. He claims that he's content with his life, but his music tells a different story-one of loneliness and desperate longing. High above the tidy village of Ardmore on a windy cliff, there is magic and music in the air, and #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts will help you find it.Ī talented songwriter, Shawn Gallagher spends his days lost in reverie and wonder, oblivious to the wiles of women and the ways of the world.
