If there is one writer that has made an impact in the reading world it has to be Nora Roberts. With the multiple styles and types of books that she writes, she has never missed the mark on offering an engaging and delightful read. I was able to review this new release from this powerhouse and was blown away with this amazing read.
Bay of Sighs by Nora Roberts
Series: Guardians Trilogy (Book 2)
Publisher: Berkley (June 14, 2016)
ISBN-13: 978-0425280119
To celebrate the rise of their new queen, three goddesses of the moon created three stars, one of fire, one of ice, one of water. But then they fell from the sky, putting the fate of all worlds in danger. And now three women and three men join forces to pick up the pieces…
Mermaid Annika is from the sea, and it is there she must return after her quest to find the stars. New to this world, her purity and beauty are nothing less than breathtaking, along with her graceful athleticism, as her five new friends discovered when they retrieved the fire star.
Now, through space and time, traveler Sawyer King has brought the guardians to the island of Capri, where the water star is hidden. And as he watches Annika in her element, he finds himself drawn to her joyful spirit. But Sawyer knows that if he allows her into his heart, no compass could ever guide him back to solid ground…
And in the darkness, their enemy broods. She lost one star to the guardians, but there is still time for blood to be spilled—the mermaid’s in the water and the traveler’s on the land. For she has forged a dangerous new weapon. Something deadly and unpredictable. Something human.
My Thoughts about Bay of Sighs by Nora Roberts
I have to say that I have not been overly fond of urban fantasy and paranormal books but they are growing on me. I have read several in the past few years that have been enticing and intriguing and when I found out this new novel from Nora Roberts was actually a paranormal suspense and romance, I was very surprised. I guess I never realize she had started writing in this genre. But like I said above, this is one writer who can completely change your mind about a book because of her talent and skills.
Bay of Sighs is a remarkable story. I fell in love with the characters from the very beginning. Annika is a sweet, delightful character that just makes you happy. I can just envision her floating and fluttering through life and dancing in the air, much like a fairy.
Sawyer is perfectly matched to Annika as he is a kind and gentle soul with deep feelings for her. Together they are perfect and you just keep hoping that they will find a way to find happiness for a life time.
This book is actually the second in a series of three. And while I never read the first one, Stars of Fortune, I know I have to go back and do so. I never really felt lost in this book as the author explained in detail everything that was going on. Plus, the story so riveting and exciting you can’t help but become attached to the storyline and characters.
I have never met a book from Nora Roberts that I didn’t love. She is a gifted author that can write in so many different themes with amazing passion, depth, and detail that just brings you right into the story. This book is an perfect example in that this is not my typical genre that I read but I know I will be first in line for the next installment in the series, Island of Glass, which is due out in December. Fabulous work!
