It began on New Year’s Eve. The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread even faster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed - and more than half of the world’s population was decimated. Where there had been order, there was now chaos. And as the power of science and technology receded, magick rose up in its place.

From #1 New York Times-best-selling author Nora Roberts comes a novel of a woman who needs nothing, a man who sees everything, and the web of deceit, greed, and danger that brings them together - and that could tear them apart… As a professional house-sitter and freelance writer, nothing ties Lila Emerson down - not her work, not a home, and definitely not a relationship. She spends her life moving from one job to the next, sometimes crashing at a friend's Manhattan apartment.

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.

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.

Enjoyed this story despite the formula. Not my favorite style of Nora Roberts novel - I prefer her more recent murder and suspense genre - but this is a good story to pass the time with.

Needs a different narrator
I love the story line. It just made me giggle through most of the book. The characters are memorable and very lovable. it doesn't hurt that they have certain tendencies that my own Irish love has. That said, the narrator sounds like she is between the ages of 45 and 55 years old. I was shocked to realize the main character is only in her 20s, There are also points where her voice is very high and shrill, and other times where its very monotoned, that I find my eyes lids starting to droop. Overall its a fun listen but consider yourself warned about the narrator.

The narrator did not have a very good Irish accent and it really took away from the telling of the story. It was predictable and boiler plate. Not very much originality. I found the story overdone

excellent story, love author. the narrator, though, drove me bonkers when she spoke without the Irish accent. Her "American" accent was extremely flat with very little emotion or inflection. Her Irish accent was in point and full of wonderful emotion .

The narration of this book is terrible, the accent are cringy and all the characters sound like they are in their 70's. I'm going to have to read the next two books if I can't find a different narrator.

Reader ruined it for me
I have read this book before and enjoyed it very much, the writer's feel for and love of Ireland speaking to me and taking me back to the green hills I love so much. Having thoroughly enjoyed all three of the Born In series audios, I meant to continue my little mental vacations with this series and thought the reader would be okay from the sample, even though it only contained the American main character. Alas, much to my dismay when I settled down on a long flight to enjoy it, the reader's version of every Irish female turned out to be a rather shrill version of the Lucky Charms leprechan. To anyone who has spent any real amount of time in Ireland and loves the beautiful, gentle rhythm of the Irish voices, this reader will not sound like anyone they have ever met there, and her strained cadence actually interfered with expressive reading. They should have used the reader who did the Born In series again, as his voice was easy to listen to and his accents smooth and accurate. I will NOT be listening to the rest of this series unless I read it aloud to myself, that's for sure!

Great Book - Bad Narrator
This book is a beautiful, well-written and colorful story with such dynamic descriptions of the Irish countryside that you truly feel like you're there. Unfortunately, the narrator is not quite as appealing. The first few hours of this book are almost painful to listen to, but she does improve and the other two books in the trilogy are much better. Hang in there, and it's worth it!

Adding another name to my Worst Narrator List
This average book might have been elevated to bearable if it had been narrated by Davina Porter or Susan Erikson was made completely unbearable by this narrator. I cannot believe she is paid for this work.

Good story, struggling reader.
Sometimes a good reader can take a lousy story and make it fun but unfortunately this was not the case for Jewels. The reader sound very stilted and uncomfortable with her story telling. She was hesitant and never developed a cadence or rhythm with the characters or the story. Many times a reader starts slow and then relaxes and begins to actually make the story a pleasure. This did not happen either and the reader for Jewels maintained the hesitancy and awkward pausing throughout the story. I managed to make it through but not without perseverance and patience. I would recommend going to a used book store and reading this one if you like a Nora Roberts romance.

Narrator stinks
I am glad I only paid $5 for this because after about 10 minutes I had to stop listening. The narrator has a way of stressing certain words that should not be stressed. She will be going along fine and then change her cadence. After 10 minutes, I stopped following the story and could only think about her speaking pattern. I can't listen to it.

The narrator was intolerable
I like to read Nora Roberts novels on occasion, they’re like a Lifetime movie on the page, easy, formulaic, predictable…sometimes that’s just what I want. The real problem for me was that the narrator was so lifeless; it really made the story painful to follow. If you’re looking for a beach book, this could be it…just get it in book form, not audio. If you’re looking for a great audio romance novel, you’ll need to look elsewhere.

Not a good narrator.
Unfortunately, the reader is so bad at reading, that it is so distracting it's impossible to listen to the story. Yes, it was that bad. Don't bother.

Jewels of the Sun
Although the narrator takes a little while to get used to before you know it you are sucked into the book just like you where in Ireland with them! Another wonderful story, can't wait to hear the next one!

Great Story
Really nice story with lots of great characters. Loved the two main characters and their tug of war into a relationship. Made me want to go to Ireland and live in a cottage by the sea. Highly recommend this for an easy story to help you escape reality.

Horrible Narrator!
Would you try another book from Nora Roberts and/or Patricia Daniels?
No, I won't be trying anymore of her books. I thought I was getting a ghost story and it turned out to be a treacly romance, with a terrible reader. You can't call this person a narrator, as she just plods along, reading the story. Awful book.
Has Jewels of the Sun turned you off from other books in this genre?
Yep!
What didn’t you like about Patricia Daniels’s performance?
See above.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
So disappointed. Thought I might glean some insight as to what Ireland is like, but can't stomach to romance novel feel of it.
