Publisher's Summary

BOOK ONE OF THE GALLAGHERS OF ARDMORE TRILOGY

In Gallagher’s Pub, where the fire is burning low and the pints are waiting, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts has a story to tell...

Determined to reevaluate her life, Jude Murray flees America to take refuge in Faerie Hill Cottage, immersing herself in the study of Irish folklore and discovering hope for the future of the magical past.

Finally back home in Ireland after years of traveling, Aidan Gallagher possesses an uncommon understanding of his country’s haunting myths. Although he’s devoted to managing the family pub, a hint of wildness still glints in his eyes - and in Jude, he sees a woman who can both soothe his heart and stir his blood. And he begins to share the legends of the land with her - while they create a passionate history of their own.

May have been better with a different narrator

The narrator was a bit iffy, her accents were ok but her voice seemed too old for the character and her emphasis on the syllable of some words was incorrect so it's a bit frustrating to listen to.

great story, narrator Meh..

excellent story, love author. the narrator, though, drove me bonkers when she spoke without the Irish accent. Her "American" accent was extremely flat with very little emotion or inflection. Her Irish accent was in point and full of wonderful emotion .

Worst narration ever

It was really hard to enjoy the book due to the narrator. The story was light and could have been entertaining, but the reader had a clipped and formal way of speaking. The sex scenes were almost laughable in her prissy voice.

A Fun Read

This was a enjoyable read. Full of interesting, funny and inspiring strength. Not to mention the ability to be humble and say what you mean. A great story.
