Heaven and Earth was much better than its predecessor, Dance Upon the Air. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? If you have read and liked one of these series, the other will likely please you unless you are bothered by the similarity of them. The group, of course, prevails and “all is well that ends well.” I have enjoyed both trilogies even though they are the same story in a different guise. Each woman finds or reunites with a mate and the three couples form a group to battle a centuries old evil force that threatens to destroy them. The plot is almost the same in the two series as well. They provide grounding around which the other characters operate. Of the three pairs, these two women are the “old souls” of the group. The third book brings the two characters I most enjoy-the black haired beauties Mia and Branna. Their challenge in the story is to develop maturity and restraint. Ripley, a brunette and Meara, a red head both have a fiery temper and will of steel.


The second book focuses on two women who are completely opposite of Nell and Iona. Both start out as timid pixies, who develop a strong back bone as the story evolves.

The protagonist in each of the first books is a petite blonde - Nell in Three Sisters and Iona in the O'Dwyer novel. What strikes me is the similarity of the three main female characters in each trilogy. So it is not surprising that I have recently read the Three Sisters Island and Cousins O'Dwyer series back to back. My taste in Nora Roberts novels runs to those with a magical bent. Two Trilogies – Same Story, Different Guise For Three Sisters shelters centuries of secrets - and a legacy of danger that plagues them still.
