KEEPER OF THE LIGHT by Diane Chamberlain

This is the first book that I have read of Diane Chamberlain.  I did enjoy the story-but it was slow going to me.
Meet Olivia and Paul Macelli, Olivia is a Dr and Paul a newspaper writer.   They move to the
Outer Banks of North Carolina when Olivia takes a job at an emergency clinic.
Little did Olivia know that Paul's first love Annie O'Neill lives there.  Annie is married and
has 2 children.  Throw in a lighthouse and the woman that  is "keeper of the light" and you
have quite a story.

IRISH DREAMS by Nora Roberts

This book contains 2 stories.  Both are quick reads and the first makes you want to own or be around horses.
IRISH REBEL brings you back to the Grant family-who you met in Irish Thoroughbred.  Here you meet the Grants oldest daughter Keeley.  She helps out on the family horse farm and racing stable and also teaches kids to ride.  Brian Donnelly  is hired to come from Ireland to America to work with and train the race horses.  Interesting look into the world of owning race horses.

SULLIVAN'S WOMAN is a delightful story of a young woman alone in the world and having just lost another job, finds herself meeting a world renowned painter.  He insists on painting her and Cassidy has no idea who he is.  Since she needs a job to pay her bills while she is working on a novel she accepts.  Find out what happens....

I did enjoy this book but think I would have enjoyed the books more if I read them as separate books.
