Description Concering Books Heaven and Earth (Three Sisters Island #2)
Ripley Todd just wants to live a quiet, peaceful kind of life. Her job as a sheriff's deputy keeps her busy and happy, and she has no trouble finding men when she wants them - which, lately, isn't all that often. She's perfectly content, except for one thing: she has special powers that both frighten and confuse her, and though she tries hard to hide them, she can't get them under control. Distraction soon arrives in the handsome form of Mac Allister Booke - a researcher who's come to investigate the rumours of witchcraft that haunt Three Sisters Island. Right from the start, he knows there's something extraordinary about Ripley Todd. It's not just her blazing green eyes and her sultry smile. There's something else. Something he can detect, but she'll never admit. Fascinated by her struggle with her amazing abilities, he becomes determined to help her accept who she is - and find the courage to open her heart. But before Ripley and Mac can dream of what lies in the future, they must confront the pain of the past. For the island shelters centuries of secrets - and a legacy of danger that plagues them still.Be Specific About Based On Books Heaven and Earth (Three Sisters Island #2)

Second book in Roberts' Three Sisters Island Trilogy. Witches, evil, and romance - Oh My!I have read numerous trilogies by Roberts. I always love the second book the most. Not this time though. I understand that Ripley is suppose to have anger like Earth, but it was just too much. Ripley is just not a likeable character in my opinion.Always well written. I still enjoyed this book, but looking forward to Mia and her struggle in the final book.Ripley wasn't my favourite, but I'd still been looking forward to her book. Unfortunately, instead of my growing to like her through her own book it turned out to have an opposite effect. She's the type of character that I have trouble warming up to and by the end I almost disliked her. I did love the early banter between her and Mac, more of that always, please. Though his name made me snicker, because Mac Booke...really? I was charmed by Mac and his nerdy forgetfulness and absentmindedness,
When you're out of town visiting your mom and you get stung by something and your leg blows up so you have to go to the ER and then you're allergic to the meds they give you you're pretty desperate for books. When your mom brings this home you don't want to hurt her feelings because it is, after all, better than no books. But not much better.
Really enjoying this series. Another great installment!
I liked it as much as the first book. It was just alright. It was a light read. I think I only stuck out to read Mia's story. I found her to be the most compelling one even though neither of the first two books are about her. The story revolves around Ripley. She suppresses her powers because she is afraid of it. She can't control it when her emotions are high and she isn't prepared to deal with the aftermath if she ends up hurting those around her. The antagonist in this book is the reporter.
Well that was a bummer....Loved book 1 enough to spring for the rest of the series. Was looking forward to this book since the h was a gun toting, badge wielding badass and I just love that kind of gal. As it turns out the h was actually not... this book turned her into a hormonal, rage filled neurotic. She should have been in therapy, not walking the streets with a gun. Oh well maybe book 3 will be better...
This is my favorite in the Three Sisters Trilogy. Probably because the characters are terrific! Ripley is a deputy on the island. She is out spoken, tough and not happy with her magical powers. She truly hates the witchy stuff, but she knows she has to work with the rest of the coven to save the island. So with all this hate of witchcraft she tries to avoid the new man in town. He is investigating the magic of the island. He is a handsome professor who is thrilled with the witches. I have a
