Publisher's summary

From number-one New York Times best-selling author Nora Roberts comes a trilogy about the land we’re drawn to, the family we learn to cherish, and the people we long to love.…

With the legends and lore of Ireland running through his blood, falconer Connor O’Dwyer is proud to call County Mayo home. It’s where his sister, Branna, lives and works, where his cousin, Iona, has found true love, and where his childhood friends form a circle that can’t be broken.…

A circle that is about to be stretched out of shape - by a long-awaited kiss.

Meara Quinn is Branna’s best friend, a sister in all but blood. Her and Connor’s paths cross almost daily, as Connor takes tourists on hawk walks and Meara guides them on horseback across the lush countryside. She has the eyes of a gypsy and the body of a goddess…things Connor has always taken for granted - until his brush with death propels them into a quick, hot tangle.

Plenty of women have found their way to Connor’s bed, but none to his heart until now. Frustratingly, Meara is okay with just the heat, afraid to lose herself - and their friendship - to something more. But soon, Connor will see the full force and fury of what runs in his blood. And he will need his family and friends around him when his past rolls in like the fog, threatening an end to all he loves.…

ehh

Repetative and predictable story. something happens, character cooks a meal and they discuss it, and this happens so many times! The performance was good, though.

love the wiccan trilogies

Any additional comments?

I thoroughly enjoy Nora Roberts "wiccan" trilogies... they are always a welcome listen that contain magic, mystery, and true love... not to mention the bits of jocularity that she manages to include. I can't wait for the remaining book in this series!

Once you getting over the narration...

The first chapter is the worst. The narrator's kid voice is far worse than the horrible adult voices. But I was able to get through.

Great continuation but

Me Smyth is a great narrator but I dislike when narrators change in a series of books. It’s like the third Harry Potter movie; the story was great but their rendition was just off

Terrible performance

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I love Nor Roberts, but this narrator has ruined this book completely. I am having a difficult time getting all the way through it because of his performance. It is so much of a distraction that I am not able to enjoy or even get into the story. I'm concentrating too much on his words and understanding who is saying what, doing what, then the story itself.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

He was more monition then and dull then I prefer. Unable to distinguish between characters. Just overall, poor.
