A talented songwriter, Shawn Gallagher spends his days lost in reverie and wonder, oblivious to the wiles of women and the ways of the world. He claims that he's content with his life, but his music tells a different story--one of loneliness and desperate longing...
No one understands why Shawn doesn't put his musical gift to profitable use--least of all Brenna O'Toole, a fiercely independent tomboy who has been secretly in love with him for years. But it is only when Shawn gives in to the mysteries of magic that he gets the chance to fulfill his destiny as a man and a musician--as the song in his head keeps time with the beating of a woman's heart...
I adore this series. My only complaint is that they end so quickly. All the fun of getting up to the proposal and then BAM, done. You don't get to enjoy the after bits.
I liked it, although not as much as the first in this trilogy. I never quite got into Brenna and Shawn as characters, and they seemed much more stereotyped and one dimensional than Jude and Aiden from the first part. I do like that Nora Roberts does write many different types of characters. I like Ms. Roberts as it is mindless reading when I have a lot going on, which is always.
