With indifferent parents, Iona Sheehan grew up craving devotion and acceptance. From her maternal grandmother, she learned where to find both: a land of lush forests, dazzling lakes, and centuries-old legends. Ireland. County Mayo, to be exact. Where her ancestors’ blood and magic have flowed through generations - and where her destiny awaits. Iona arrives in Ireland with nothing but her Nan’s directions, an unfailingly optimistic attitude, and an innate talent with horses.

Oh that narrator!

It’s a good story. The characters are fun and poignant, but oh that narrator! During the action scenes she sounds like the television version of a high school drama teacher that thinks she is on Broadway! Oddly enough her voice for Iona sounds disturbingly like Dorthy from The Wizard of Oz. I kept waiting to hear about how Toto wouldn’t bite anyone!

Caitlyn Sullivan had come from a long line of Hollywood royalty, stretching back to her Irish immigrant great-grandfather. At nine, she was already a star - yet still an innocent child who loved to play hide-and-seek with her cousins at the family home in Big Sur. It was during one of those games that she disappeared. Some may have considered her a pampered princess, but Cate was in fact a smart, scrappy fighter, and she managed to escape her abductors. Callan Cooper was shocked to find the bloodied, exhausted girl huddled in his house.

It was Meh

It was an okay story that dragged for a bit. I’ve heard better Nora Roberts books but I’ve also heard worse.

I LOVE Julie Garwood books - every single one. This is the first one I’ve done in audible form and for the most part it was good. The story is wonderful and I adore the characters. However, I found the narrator distracting and sometimes annoying. Obviously her English characters were good - she is English. The Scottish voices however sounded,to me, sometimes Scottish, sometimes Russian and oddly enough something that reminded me of the stereotype of a New York Jewish person. All the male characters voices were strained and raspy, and all the children’s were high pitched,squeaky, and mouse like. Maybe I should stick to Julie Garwood in book format, or just make sure to avoid this narrator in the future!
