I think maybe I'm reading the wrong books by Nora. This one was just ok...but it didn't wow me at all.

Arghhhh, I just write the review and my computer eat it. Damn!! X(So, to sum it up, Jewels of The Sun is my less favorite of Nora Roberts's books, since its so slow and boring and things get interesting near the end. The characters don't help either. Since the heroine, Jude is too much wallowing in ...

I just couldn't get in to this one. I didn't find a connection with the character and the writing was a bit too flowery for me. Sometimes I just want the story about the characters and not the superfluous. I can't believe I'm saying it, but it was OVER descriptive. And each character had to describe...

Jude F. Murray is running away; she's running to Ireland, to find herself, if she can. What she found, though, were ghosts, fairies, magic, and love... The two things I love most about this book is the descriptions of the area and the tales, the storytellings. And sometimes, I love how she, Jude,...

I just couldn't get into this book. It was very descriptive and the action was slow moving. I started skimming early then only reading dialog and eventually gave up.

I don’t believe in “guilty pleasure” reading because: hello, I don’t feel guilty about anything I read. But I bet anyone that uses the term frequently would definitely say The Irish Trilogy by Nora Roberts classifies…Seriously you guys, I have reread these books so. many. times. Mostly when I was in...
