Publisher's Summary

FIRST IN THE GUARDIANS TRILOGY

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a trilogy about three women and three men who join forces to solve an ancient mystery through the power of timeless love…

Sasha Riggs is a reclusive artist, haunted by dreams and nightmares that she turns into extraordinary paintings. Her visions lead her to the Greek island of Corfu, where five others have been lured to seek the fire star. Sasha recognizes them, because she has drawn them: a magician, an archaeologist, a wanderer, a fighter, a loner. All on a quest. All with secrets. 

Sasha is the one who holds them together - the seer. And in the magician, Bran Killian, she sees a man of immense power and compassion. As Sasha struggles with her rare ability, Bran is there to support her, challenge her, and believe in her. 

But Sasha and Bran are just two of the six. And they must all work together as a team to find the fire star in a cradle of land beneath the sea. Over their every attempt at trust, unity, and love, a dark threat looms. And it seeks to corrupt everything that stands in its way of possessing the stars....

I skipped forward more and more toward the end

I really really wish that women would not try to sound like men and I really really wish that if they don't know how to do accent, they don't do the bloody accent!

as a Nora Roberts story goes, this one sounds like she like she phoned it in. same old setup - three couples, various magical/mystical skills, ancient objects of power, yadda yadda.

I find reading sex scenes (oh sorry. forgot they're called "intimate encounters" now) uncomfortable. I have now learned that listening to them being read out loud is excruciating!

Clear distinct voice variation

A great story if you enjoy magical unforeseen aptitudes! Nora Roberts can sure tell a story with great dialogues amongst her characters, never a dull predictable moment. But a good story is only catching when a great performer delivers it to its fullest. The narrator here does just that: delivers. Well done!

Entertaining

I found the overall story entertaining and liked the way the characters came together. The scenes were not too graphic or bloody or gory. However, while the narrator did a good job of the female voices, as for the men it was actually tiresome because they sounded more like old men and if was often hard to tell Doyle and Bran apart, and definitely not sexy voices at all. I did find the book enjoyable enough to buy book 2.
