Dark WitchWith indifferent parents, Iona Sheehan grew up craving devotion and acceptance. From her maternal grandmother, she learned where to find both: a land of lush forests, dazzling lakes, and centuries-old legends.Ireland. County Mayo, to be exact. Where her ancestors’ blood and magic have flowed through generations—and where her destiny awaits.Iona arrives in Ireland with nothing but her Nan’s directions, an unfailingly optimistic attitude, and an innate talent with horses.

When Iona lands a job at the local stables, she meets the owner, Boyle McGrath. Cowboy, pirate, wild tribal horsemen, he’s three of her biggest fantasy weaknesses all in one big, bold package.Iona realizes that here she can make a home for herself—and live her life as she wants, even if that means falling head over heels for Boyle. But nothing is as it seems. An ancient evil has wound its way around Iona’s family tree and must be defeated. Family and friends will fight with each other and for each other to keep the promise of hope—and love—alive…Don’t miss the other books in the Cousins O’Dwyer Trilogy

About Nora Roberts

Author, Nora Roberts was born Eleanor Marie Robertson, on October 10, 1950 in Silver Spring, Maryland. For more than three decades Roberts has published more than 200 titles in the romantic novel category. She wrote her first story during the blizzard of 1979, when she was snowed in at her home. The first novel, Irish Thoroughbred, was published just two years later. Then, the next two years brought 23 more published novels, and she finally caught the public's eye in 1985. That last novel, "Playing the Odds" gave Roberts a "fan favorite" status and transformed the romance novel category.

Roberts has two sons by her first marriage, and married her second husband, Bruce Wilder, in 1985. From 1991 to 2001, all 68 novels she published made it onto the New York Times best seller list. In 2000 alone she had 13 best sellers, several making it into number one. She also writes futuristic romantic suspense under the pen name of J.D. Robb. Many of her novels have been adapted into TV movies. She was inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame on 1986. She currently owns the Inn at BoonsBoro in Boonsboro, Maryland. The suites are each inspired by and for romantic couples from books. FYI......she has a fear of flying and is an ardent baseball fan.

The characters in this book were welldeveloped and seemed real. The dialogue was fun and witty and flowed smoothly. It is the kind of book that you lose yourself in and it is midnight before you know it. I highly recommend it and cant wait to read the next one.

AudiobooksNow review by Mary on 2014-05-23 10:54:40

I find this hard to believe, but this is not a great book from the great Nora Roberts. I have always felt that one of Roberts greatest stengths was that you fell in love with her characters right away. You really got to know them. Not in this book, It was too confusing all the characters were like a blur to me. Sometimes I got confused when she has all 6 meeting at one time and I had no idea who was supposed to be speaking. It almost make me think that this book was written by someone else under Roberts name. So sad.

Goodreads review by Marina on January 27, 2015

Well, as a Nora Roberts fan, this is going to be really painful to write… When I found out that the new work of one of my favorite authors of all time was a trilogy placed in the magic green mountains of of Erin (Ireland), I was sooo excited! My favorite trilogy by Nora is “Gallaghers of Ardmore” whe......more

Goodreads review by Icey on December 05, 2021

4 whimsical and magical stars! This is a perfect bedtime story for wintertime. When you curl up by the fire with a cup of warm chocolate and an atmospheric book, nothing can be better than that. The smell of herbs, the melody of the ancient songs, the laughter shared over the drinks, the noise, the w......more

Goodreads review by Ashley on November 12, 2013

The first book of the cousins O'Dwyer series, Dark Witch, reminded me a lot of two other "firsts" of her trilogies- the Gallaghers of Ardmore, and the Three Sisters Island. If you've read both, you know they both involve "outsiders" coming into a life already in progress for the others, but quickly......more

Goodreads review by Deb on October 31, 2013

I have just finished the book, and I am so sad and disappointed. Nora Roberts has been a favorite author of mine for years and years, but this book was not up to her usual standard. It smacks of being a poor rewrite of her Three Sisters Island trilogy. ::Possible Spoiler Alert:: From the beginning of......more

4 stars. Great world-building, weak romance, but still worth the read. I hesitate to describe this book as a 'romance' novel simply because the book spent little time actually exploring the romance between Iona and Boyle. Sure, there IS a romance in this novel. Sprinkled throughout the book are a fe......more
