"The final Guardians Trilogy novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bay of Sighs and Stars of Fortune ... Three stars--of fire, water, and ice--have fallen from the skies, and now three women and three men have come together to find them. But on the quest for the final star, they'll discover that possessing it won't be enough to stop the destruction of themselves--and of their world ... As the hunt for the Ice Star leads the six guardians to Ireland, Doyle, the immortal, must face his tragic past. Three centuries ago, he closed off his heart, yet his warrior spirit is still drawn to the wild. And there's no one more familiar with the wild than Riley--and the wolf within her. An archaeologist, Riley is no stranger to the coast of Clare, but now she finds herself on unsure footing, targeted by the dark goddess who wants more than the stars, more than the blood of the guardians. While searching through Irish history for clues that will lead them to the final star and the mysterious Island of Glass, Riley must fight her practical nature and admit that her sudden attraction to Doyle is more than just a fling. For it is his strength that will sustain her and give her the power to run toward love--and save them all.."--

I'm sure there will be literally thousands of reviews of this book on GR, and I don't have anything unique to add to the analysis of how Nora Roberts somehow keeps releasing good to great books several times every year since the 1980s. I will just say that I was impressed by the significant contribution that good old fashioned research made to the plot of this series. Sure, one of the characters had visions that led the six Guardians in the right direction, but the background info that Riley's skills as an archeologist provided helped them target their search for the stars. Like the police work in the J.D. Robb In Death series, it isn't always dramatic, but it is important to the plot.
Oh and despite a somewhat slow start to the romance between Riley and Doyle, when they finally got together their relationship was both explosive and tender.
