Summary: Struggle to finish....
Comment: I have read almost everything Nora Roberts has read, and am a big fan. I have read and enjoyed all of her other anthologies in this series. This one, though, was a struggle to finish. The Nora Roberts story was good, because as someone wrote, I don't think she can write anything bad. The other stories were awful. The characters, the storylines, the dialogue--boring, unrealistic--ugh! I can usually read a good romance in a day or two at most--this one took me about two weeks to finish because I was so disinterested in the stories, I would put it down (in the middle of a story!) to read something else. I finished each one hoping the next would be better, but no such luck. If you are a Nora Roberts fan (and like me have to read everything she publishes), maybe you can get this book at the library, but otherwise, don't bother!

Summary: A star for each good story.....
Comment: Nora didn't disappiont. " The Witching Hour" was Wonderful. It was sweet and romantic. I don't think nora Roberts actually knows how to write a bad book.
"Mirror, Mirror" was just as good as Wicthing hour, if not better. I loved the romace between Fiona and Conor. It was perfect.They went through a lot to save the prince and the journey was great.
" Dream Lover" was something I would not have picked up. But once I got into the story, I really liked it. A story of hope and love. Both Allison and Heath are getting second chances at love.
"Once Upon A Midnight" hmmm... I really didn't like this one. This novella does not deserve to be in a book. The starting was ok. The minor characters were two dimesional. And the end, where Jenna turned out to be a wolf was just disturbing. This story was just not good.

Summary: magical
Comment: I divide this four story series into two parts. The good part...and the bad.
Nora Robert's The Witching Hour was enchanting...very well developed. The evil Lorcan has killed Aurora's parents and proclaimed himself king of Twylia. Now...as Aurora's birth and identity is revealed to her, she must follow destiny in order to reclaim her kingdom and heritage...and find her love, the seemingly cowardly Thane, who she spent time with in dreams since they were children. Thane also has this power to dream and they were in love long before they actually met. Now...they must see past the misconceptions each has of the other to rediscover each other. Very charming!
Jill Gregory's Mirror, Mirror is also very interesting to read. Fiona, a healer, was sworn to protect the heir to the kingdom of Grithain, who is currently a child and in hiding from those who wish to have the land to themselves once old King Mortimer dies. With a magic mirror that sees into the past, present, and future, she is able to save a brave warrior, who isn't who he seems to be. Once Fiona finds out that Conor is the illegitimate son, who is rumored as wanting to kill the heir, she regrets saving him, until he convinces her that he wants to protect the heir...and they fall in love (unwillingly on Conor's part)...He has to conquer his wrong notion of love. Great story.
This is the bad part:
Dream Lover started out as a very interesting story. Allison is betrayed by love and Heath has no love. They meet on the plane to Scotland and the chemistry begins. Ally nurses the injured Heath and it turns that they are both going to similar places so Heath offers to drive her there. "Unfortunately", the car leaves Heath behind while he goes with Ally to discuss business with the owner. However, there are many missing pieces...the author does not explain the concept of midnight, since that is the topic of the book. Also, Ally and Heath's love is developed within a day, with the help of a certain kindred spirit. Finally the story ends abruptly, leaving the reader to wonder when the author would explain all the little quirks throughout the story.
The Midnight Country also started out to be very compelling and I had thought that I would enjoy this story the most. Beaumont Foret was a fairytale told to children. A castle surrounded by wolves, but Jenna is determined to prove them wrong...her ancestors were all born in Beaumont Foret. She finds the mystical village, and finds out a genetic secret that Philippe, the owner, has been keeping from her. Philippe also finds out Jenna's genetic secret. I didn't enjoy this story because though I thought that they would find a cure to their genetic flaw and become humans permanently, they decide to forgo that and even make love while they are not humans...a bit disturbing. But after a while, I can accept it a bit more. Still was a bit disappointed.
Overall, nice read because of the first two stories.
