Heart of the Sea by Nora Roberts

3rd in the Trilogy. Darcy has always claimed that she only wants a rich man who can provide for her want of material things. She doesn't plan on falling in love, ever. Until Trevor Magee shows up on the scene.

Narrator wonderful. The whole series is emotionally satisfying!!!

Tears of the Moon by Nora Roberts

The 2nd book in a trilogy. Brenna O'Toole has a "yen" for Sean Gallagher, a man she has known all her life. She figures a good roll in the hay will cure her of it, and so she proposes it to her. Sean is horrified...Brenna is like his sister. Then he starts to think of it and decides that she isn't going to get rid of this 'yen' so easily. Especially when Carick, the fairy king, gets involved.

Again, the narrator is wonderful. I love the Irish accents and Gaelic words. Both the book and the audio are worth the time.

Jewels of the Sun by Nora Roberts

This is the first in a trilogy. I've read the series before and really enjoyed it, so when I needed something to listen to in the car, I gravitated toward this. In this first book, Jude has come to Ireland from Chicago and she's not sure why. She's always done what is right and expected of her in life. Since her husband of 2 months left her for another woman, so has been restless and unhappy. In a move not understood by her parents, she quits her job as a psychology professor and goes to stay in Ireland for 6 months. Here in the small village of Ardmour, she is welcomed with open arms since her grandmother was raised there. She befriends the Gallagher siblings and Brenna O'Toole. All the while she is supposedly writing a paper on the psychological aspects of legends and storytelling. When she becomes part of a legend, things get very interesting.

I loved this book and the narrator is wonderful in her Irish accents, and the pronunciation of many Gaelic words. A great read or listen!

Public Secrets by Nora Roberts

This was definitely not a traditional Nora Roberts book. I was looking for an easy and entertaining read when I picked this up, as I was planning on reading it during a series of lunch times. Public Secrets follows the lives of an English rock band that becomes a big hit during the seventies and on into time. Once she is born, the book really follows the life of Emma, the daughter of the lead singer. I got a good look at the seamy underbelly of the music world. It was almost like reading a tabloid, except it had more details and the whole 25 years story at once. I really enjoyed it, especially when they found out who killed Emma's brother. I found this book very satisfying, as every bad guy was punished, some more brutally than others.

High Noon by Nora Roberts

This book was great! I read it in one afternoon since I couldn't put it down. Ok, there were a few interruptions by my son, but still. It is about a female hostage negotiator in Savannah. She's had some rough hits in life, but now when things seem to be going well, it seems she has a stalker. Beware, there are a couple of extremely grisly scenes in this book, but they only made me want to read faster.
