The Circle Trilogy (The Circle Trilogy #1-3)The Circle Trilogy by Nora Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well, that was quite a ride!
Even though I was under the weather, I had another Nora Roberts story to keep my interest.
Sadly, I couldn’t find it as an audiobook. With all the Gaelic or ancient verbiage, a talented narrator would be so welcome. Still, Ms. Roberts can weave a tale.

I’m not usually into vampire stories, unless they knit, or have a sense of humor. But I learned to feel
for the old buzzard.

The cast of characters was confusing at first, but by the end tears were running down my face for them all. Another way a narrator or two could have helped.

This Kindle edition was provided by Libby.

The Choice (The Dragon Heart Legacy, #3)The Choice by Nora Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I think Nora Roberts is now my favorite author and Barrie Kreinik is my favorite narrator. This Dragon Heart Legacy series has been a blast. I loved every minute of time I spent in that world with those characters.

Fantasies and romances get boring and predictable. Mostly predictible in that I know the writer is going to try to make the book more exciting. But I am not looking for exciting. I’m looking for connections and travel and quieter life with similar problems solved differently, or finding talents in being with folks who are supportive. And even if the one you love starts out gruff, he can learn new ways of thinking and acting.

As soon as I can I am going to buy the Audible version of this series. This version was from Libby. A great series I already miss.

The Becoming (The Dragon Heart Legacy #2)The Becoming by Nora Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nora Roberts is becoming one of my favorite authors. Barrie Kreinik is one of the best narrators; not a single character sounds like any other, and each person’s emotions are clear. So their teamwork makes this one of the best fantasy series I’ve read in a long time. Book two develops the worlds and the conflict between the angry fae and those who prefer living peacefully.

Moving between modern Ireland and fae country seems seamless under the laws Ms. Roberts established in her novel. There doesn’t seem to be any jarring culture shock as the main characters move between them. That satisfies this reader who wishes to live in each land.

If you’re looking for a fun read/listen, pick up this series. Luckily, Libby had it. Now on to reading number three.

The Awakening (The Dragon Heart Legacy, #1)The Awakening by Nora Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I can’t decide which person I am most impressed with: Nora Roberts with the writing, or Barrie Kreinik and her versatile storytelling.

Fantasy usually bugs me. Too scary, too weird that ghosts, vampires, werefolk, etc. interbreed. I like the adventure and opportunity to travel to new lands, but the rest… Anyway, this book followed a different path. The romance wasn’t a gaga kind of love, but rather, different kinds of love are featured: friends and family, and a bit of romance. The main character’s trainer is tough and doesn’t take any flak from his new trainee, but you see that it isn’t out of hate or meanness, but rather out of a hope to instill enough fear in the newbie to take it seriously.

Apologies are always handy in this story. I rarely see that kind of person written about. I get upset with most books that they don’t take responsibility for actions or emotions.

Some would say this was boring, but I loved it more than I do most fantasy. And as I said before, the narrator was fantastic.

No sooner did I finish this book than I went back to Libby to borrow the next book in the series. I’m loving it, too!

The Mirror (The Lost Bride Trilogy, #2)The Mirror by Nora Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Brittany Pressley narrates this second book of the Lost Bride Trilogy as she did the first and third. She brings all the characters, embodied and disembodied, with clarity and humor.

Nora Roberts is becoming a favorite author for me. I am sure these books come across on the page as well as they do in audiobook form.

These aren’t terribly scary but there are moments of terror. Not so much that you can’t read it before sleep.

As the title suggests, this book takes it up a notch: the main character, Sonya, is forced to attend ancestors’ weddings in the past. Through the looking glass (Mirror)!

I enjoyed this so much that I immediately went to Libby and got the next book in the series. So far I am not disappointed.

Please read these if you get the chance.

Inheritance (The Lost Bride Trilogy, #1)Inheritance by Nora Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m becoming a fan of Nora Roberts. After finishing my last read at midnight, I searched for available audiobooks on Libby. I saw one of hers and decided that would do it. Brittany Pressley narrated this contemporary story. With ghosts!

The main character has spirit to spare, and she takes over her inherited manor with a gusto she didn’t expect to find. The main characters are fun and keep the story going. There’s even a dog that plays an important role.

It only took two nights of reading to finish and start the next book in the series. I can’t wait to continue

If you get the chance, pick this one up. I think you’ll like it, too.
