Old habits die hard

Hello fellow readers!  I am going to make a confession this week.  Ever since I was younger, I have read Nora Roberts books.  I know, they are kinda cheesy romance novels, but for some reason I am constantly drawn towards them.  My grandmother is the person who originally turned me on to her as an author because she used to have many of her novels that I would gaze at while spending the night at her house.  She let me borrow them (which turned in to keep when she passed away) and I read them all and continue to read new ones as they come out.  Right now, I am currently in the middle of the first book of her newest series, The Cousins O'Dwyer Trilogy.

The first book starts out by introducing a family in Ireland where the matriarch is a witch.  She is teaching her three children the art of her craft and each of them have an animal that they are connected with for protection.  They are being threatened by a dark witch who wants to be with the woman and he kills off her husband.  The books tell the tale of the modern day cousins who step into the roles of the children.  Each cousin has an animal like the children, a horse, a bird, and a dog.  The trilogy seems to be full of magic and love.  It is progressing well.  I am still in the middle of the first book, but my family got me the second and third ones for Christmas so I have some reading to do.

I haven't been able to finish this book because I took a break to read a book that finally came off my hold list at the library and I was only able to keep it for a week (more on that next post).  I will be continuing to read the series now that I have returned the library book and I will update in a new post how the series turned out.

Nora Roberts' books are great if you like a good love story with some twists and turns.  I like reading her trilogies as well because they tie the stories in well and you get to see the development of some of the relationships that you otherwise wouldn't if it was single book.  Anyone else out there love her storytelling abilities?  If you have any books or trilogies by her that you love, please share them with us in the comments.  I would love to hear about some that I may not have read yet!
