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.

Thanks Audible!

I loved it!! 😍 the speed feature is much appreciated and I'm so relieved the narrator of (one) of my favorite books had a pleasant Irish accent for all my favorite characters. My new favorite app! Thanks Audio and Patricia🥰

Modern Fairytale

I am absolutely in love with this trilogy. This story is one of my favorites, I can almost feel the characters breathing & the joy that went into creating them. The fairies and the ghosts...the love and tears...the journey that they all are on. What a wonderful world to visit and spend some time dreaming in. The narrator was wonderful to listen to and the writer fabulous as well.

I have read this story many times and it never ceases to satisfy me. This series is one of my favorites. I can identify so well with Jude. So many times I wonder what it is I am supposed to be doing and who I am in the scheme of things. It is wonderful watching her come into her own.

questions???

loved the book and I love Nora Roberts writing. I am wondering why there were so many pauses in the reading of the book. I didn't think it was read fluidly. and it took away from the story a bit. All in all though I can't wait for the next 2 books in the trilogy.

Very Entertaining

I enjoyed the story of Jude being such a prude at first and then finding her true self. The magic and ghost touched the whimsy in me.

the ability of the reader to capture the personality and essence of each character. Loved this story!

I kind of disliked dragging out the last bit back and forth with Aidan and Jude.
