Seriously, though, Hoyt is a magician/wizard born in the 1800's. He sees his twin brother attacked and "killed" by Lilith, the evil queen of nasty vampires. His twin, Cian, leaves the family to start his new life, but Lilith is far from done with them. Hoyt is then visited by the goddess Morrigan and is sent through the Dance of the Gods, a portal between time and realms to present day. His job is to find the other 5 members of the circle that will help him put an end to Lilith's plan for multi-world domination.
The first person on his list is his vampire brother, Cian. Cian has no interest in the task set before them, other than boredom and a hint of revenge. This first book also introduces the other parts of the circle: Glenna, a Chicagoan witch; Moira, a scholarly type from Gaell; Larkin, her cousin who also happens to shapeshift (dragons are his personal favorite), and Blair, a New Yorker vampire hunter descended from Hoyt and Cian's sister, Nola. Each book of the trilogy pairs up the circle in love matches, and the find the connections they make a strong part of their circle partnerships for defeating Lilith and her vampire legion.

The Morrigan's Cross, Dance of the Gods triology is a magical romance. I don't want to call it a paranormal romance because Nora Roberts often writes better than I would typically attribute to that genre. This is a fictional romance that happens to have some fun magical traits. I'm enjoyed it as much as I enjoy Nora Roberts' other books. These are pretty much super fluffy, but with an actual storyline. She has a lot of books set in either the states or Ireland and mysteries are found in all of them. Some of them have light violence, and the romance part is relatively tame compared to others in the genre. I guess I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, unless you're really in the mood. I would definitely put a bunch of books ahead in line.
