First time Nora Roberts reader

As such I can't compare it to her other books so was not in any way disappointed and have preordered the second in the trilogy.
I've been to Ireland and ridden Irish horses there so I enjoyed the backrounds and scenery.  The characters are interesting and well developed while leaving room for more growth in subsequent books.  The plot is full of suspense and kept me turning the pages.  I look forward to reading more.

I feel like this is my first Nora Roberts book, although I think I've read one or two under another pen name she has.  While I don't know that this has made me want to go read all her other books, it definitely was a good read, and I am probably going to read on in the series, if I have time when the next ones come out.  It reminded me a lot of my favorite post-apocalyptic stories Swan Song by Robert McCammon, and The Stand by Stephen King.  There wasn't really a lot that was that unique compared to other stories, but the story itself was still good.  This one tied in both magical beings along with some kind of disease.  And it is this mixture that makes me want to read on and find out just what caused all of it to happen.  If you like post-apocalyptic or the other titles I mentioned, you should give this one a try.

I read it in two days. Vintage Nora Roberts. Great read great characters did feel a little too neat and patbat times however. Everybody loves each other and everybody gets along. Except of course for the murderer.  But I do wish there wasn't quite so much incredibly optimistic and harmonious relationships throughout the book. But as I said great read you cant go wrong with Nora Roberts

Love Nora Roberts books, but had never read the J.D.Robb books. Then I picked up one of the more recent books at a tag sale and liked it so much that I have started from the beginning of the series.  Nora is one talented writer and I hope she never stops.

Ive read and loved a lot of Nora Roberts books, but this one might be my new favorite!  I loved the character development, along with the characters themselves.  The suspenseful plot was first-rate and I had a hard time putting it sown.

This was an enjoyable read and shows how versatile Nora Roberts can be.  I am looking forward to reading the second book in the Guardians Trilogy when it comes out.

I'm only just starting to read Nora Roberts, this was actually only the second book I've read from her so far. It came as a high recommendation from a Roberts fan and I wasn't disappointed. I love how the story surrounds so much at once; romance, sex, mystery, paranormal, action, history. The characters are also top notch and you form relationships with all of them. Definitely planning to read the next in this trilogy.

At first I thought is was written by Nora Roberts (and I buy all her books), while disappointed at first, the book proved to be a joy to read. I will buy the next in the series, and I have found another favorite author.

I've always been a Nora Roberts fan but the last few years I've not enjoyed her work as I used to. The stories seemed to lack something for me. I couldn't put my finger on it. Stars of Fortune is a return to type of story I enjoy from this author. I enjoyed it tremendously & would recommend it to those who like this type of book. I don't normally like books with mythical creature/people but I enjoyed this one.

I hadn't read a Nora Roberts book in a really long time as soon as I started reading I was captured in the storyline, characters, and I found myself not wanting to put this book down. I love the romance and suspense mix she brought to the book. A great read!

I just start reading Nora Roberts books and I just love them.  The first one I read was One Man's Art.  I just love The MacGregors Book Series.

Let me start off by saying that I have never read any Nora Roberts books before this one, so I have nothing to compare this book to as far as her previous works go.

I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. I found this book very enjoyable to read and I finished half the book in about two days. I like how she mixed the romance with the suspense/supernatural.

The only part I didn't like was the ending. It seemed unfinished to me. I know this is the first part of a trilogy, but I thought she could have written a cleaner ending.

Other than that, I enjoyed this book and I am now looking into other books by Mrs. Roberts. I also will pick up the 2nd book in this trilogy when it comes out in May 2008.
