Tears of the Moon: Gallaghers of Ardmore Trilogy, Book 2

As usual Ms Roberts makes me laugh, makes me cry and always, always leaves me wanting more. Thank you Ms Roberts!

The main characters in the book surely did not displease. Brenna and Shawn appear truly made for each other no

I am looking forward to reading another trilogy by Nora Roberta. All of her writings are great.

When I finished Jewels of the Sun, I loved it so much that I could not imagine the possibility of Nora Roberts writing anything that could compete with it. But, as I was happy to discover, I was wrong. The first book of the trilogy is still my favorite, but Tears of the Moon is a very very close second, and I am on tenterhooks waiting for the third!Tears of the Moon is much more of an emotional rollercoaster than the first book of the trilogy and, although both feature many of the same characters and are set in the same place, Tears of the Moon tells an very different story. It is a story about people who have known one another all their lives: Shawn Gallagher, a hopeless dreamer, romantic and musician extraordinaire, and Brenna O'Toole, who is entirely practical in every way save an unexplainable obsession with Shawn. It is a tale of childhood love and mature passion, filled with ups and downs that will take your breath away and leave you wanting more. It continued many of the same themes from the first book, but other aspects were refreshingly new. Brenna and Shawn seem like complete opposites that would only end up driving one another crazy. But as the story progressed, Roberts cast her magic and I came to see how they complemented one another. The rapport between Shawn and Brenna was colored both by their feelings for one another as well as a long history of arguments stemming from a sibling-like relationship, and made for a very amusing and absorbing story.I was very pleased to note that Roberts's ability to hold me captive from the first page to the very last sentence has not diminished, and that her quality and style of writing did not waver as the conclusion approached. In fact, if there is one thing that I liked better about Tears of the Moon than Jewels of the Sun, it was the very last page. I can't tell you what it is or I'd ruin it, but all I can say is *SIGH*. Nora Roberts is a fantastic storyteller who will always have a fan in me.

This was such a fun one to read!! I enjoyed getting to know the other characters better and how their personalities are. It was nice to have the story of prince Carrick flow into this one and get a better feel of what he was after. I can’t wait to read the last one of this trilogy!!

Time and again I come back to this one. I love Shawn and Mary Brenna. I can't help it. And so I'll probably read this again sometime next year and so on until I'm gone. This is my favorite Nora Roberts of all time - and I've read them all.

So far! I've yet to read the last book, but these 2 characters are my favorite! This story line was great along with the rest of the characters in this story.

Nora Roberts has a way of making you feel as if you were in the moment of her story. She weaves a fine tale.

I love this author and I have very nearly read all the books not just in this series but all series written.She is an excellent author, I love the story lines, and I love that everything is in 3's I love a series of books and with a triology you have that without having to many books to read to finish off a series.Perfect thing to take away with you and read by the pool!

Not great that these feedback.My granny told me that great storyline and how she couldn't put the book down

A really wonderfully written love story that touches the heart. The characters feel real with a liberal touch of irish blarney and once you start this book you will not want to put it down. I was captivated by the way Nora Roberts describes her faerie king and the relationship with humans. Great book as ever can't wait to start the next one!!

Well written, transporting you to the soul of the story I can't wait to read the third book, brilliantcharacters

Excellent as usual. I really love starting to read a new series and following it thru to the final book, to find its finished as well as it started.
