If any author can take you into a fantasy, mystical world
and make you believe it is real, that author is Nora
Roberts. This is the second book of her Guardians
Trilogy
that finds six strangers united in search of three stars
and the protection of the world from evil. In BOOKS OF
SIGHS we watch as a mermaid and space-and-time traveler
take the lead to retrieve one of the missing stars. This is
truly a BOOK OF SIGHS that will have you not wanting it to
end.
First off I must say there is just something so compelling
about Annika, the mermaid, it brought out a bit of motherly
protectiveness and pride in me that I did not expect. She
is so innocent especially in learning to use English and
our slang but she was fast to grasp everything and so eager
to learn and just a sweetheart. It was cute when she
figured out that "damn skippy" was a good phrase to use and
everyone started using it. Her delight in simple things,
helping with the cooking, cleaning, making drinks gave her
such pleasure watching her grow and learn is really fun to
read. She's also trying very hard to figure out why Sawyer
wouldn't kiss her. She was not allowed to ask for such
things and Riley and Sasha (the other two women in the
group) were very willing to help her figure out what to do.
Sawyer King is a bit more complex. It is his honor and the
strength of it that is foremost in his personality. As far
as Annika is concerned, he has his own thoughts. He
believes she is too innocent and worries that he would be
taking advantage of her but in the end love does win out as
he decides to not fight what he feels. His ability to
travel through space and time is an intriguing way to move
when it was needed and he had to use it a couple of times
against the bad guys. One of those bad guys, one that
starts out normal but by the end he has become something
else, is someone who had once tried to get his hands on
the "compass" that Sawyer uses for travel.
If you are looking for fantasy, magical travel, love,
steamy heart racing moments, strangers who become family,
and good versus evil written only as Nora Roberts can,
then BOOK OF SIGHS is just what you want to get your hands
on. And, if you are like me, you won't want to wait for the
next installment, because you want to know what happens to
the final two guardians, Riley and Doyle.
The new Guardians Trilogy novel from the #1 New York
Times bestselling author of Stars of Fortune.
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.
