I read this trilogy for the first a few years ago and fell in love with all the characters and their stories. Nora Roberts has a magical touch that draws the reader in and makes them feel involved with the lives of the characters in her stories. I waited to read these after they were all out and read them one right after the other. When I was done with the third book I was slightly saddened to know I would not be involved with the lives of Jude and Aiden, Brenna and Sean, and Darcy and Trevor. They became like friends and I could wait to see what they were up to next.

The idea of using a folklore story about the Faerie Prince "Carrick" and his unfortunate attempts at winning the heart and hand of the human he fell for "Lady Gwen" was great. Carrick's mistakes build the foundations for the three stories and makes it a very beautiful tale. It is pretty much a given who the major players will be, but the way they go about falling in love with each other, the mistakes they make even with the ghosts and faeries meddling to keep them on track makes these stories very refreshing. I loved being able to loose myself in the books not having to think and just enjoy the tales and heartfelt romance. They are a nice change from typical romance story! I hope one day Nora brings these couples back for some new stories.

I just recently re-read these stories and fell in love all over again!
