Even her cottage seems to have a resident ghost and Jude decides to embark on a personal research project to find out more. Finally back in Ireland after years of travelling, Aidan Gallagher is also something of an expert when it comes to his country's haunting myths. He's returned to devote himself to managing the family's business. But in Jude Murray he sees a woman who can 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...

I don't usually read grocery store novels, much less romance ones, but the subject matter caught my eye. Faeries, Ireland (the Americans view of it at least), realistic relationships, magic... that's the type of stuff I usually read. So I picked up the first one and could hardly put it down. The sex scenes weren't too cheesy and the touches of fantasy really made the book a worthwhile read.
I'd recommend the complete trilogy to people who love fantasy but want something with a more... ahem... adult feel.
I had read this so long ago and recently rediscovered it. It was even better than I remembered! I personally find Jude very relatable, and I love the interplay of fairy tale and daily life. Lovely!
