Book Description

Publication Date: April 27, 1998

Born in Fire: Maggie Concannon is a glassmaker whose exquisite works are more than mere objects of beauty: they are reflections of her own true nature. When gallery owner Rogan Sweeney comes to Maggie's isolated studio, her heart is enflamed by their fierce attraction - and her scarred past is slowly healed by a gentle and forgiving love. Born in Ice: When the harsh storms of winter descend upon western Ireland, the locals stay indoors - and visitors stay away. Brianna Concannon's bed-and-breakfast becomes a cold and empty place. This year, though, she's expecting an unusual guest - mystery writer Grayson Thane - from America. A restless wanderer with a dark past, he plans to spend the cold winter alone. Yet sometimes fate has a plan of its own. Born in Shame: Shannon Bodine is a talented graphic artist whose life revolves around her job at a prestigious New York advertising agency. Her world is turned upside down when she learns the identity of her real father: Thomas Concannon. Respecting her late mother's wish, Shannon travels to County Clare. There, her loneliness and shame melt away in the embrace of family. And amid the lush Irish landscape, she discovers the possibility of a love that is meant to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read, February 9, 2004

This review is from: Born In Fire; Born In Ice; Born In Shame: Three Complete Novels (Hardcover)

This is a beautiful, very satisfying read about 3 sisters who find each other as well as finding true love. I love that when you finish one book, you get to know how the lives of its characters are progressing in the next book, as we all know the disappointment one feels when a book ends and you lose touch with the wonderful characters in it! My favorite is Born in Ice, and I have already wrote a seperate review on that book alone. However all three books complete each other and buying them together as a set is definately worth the money. Every single character in all 3 books is drawn out so beautifully that it comes to life and you almost feel like you know these people and care for them. The Irish countryside is describe so thoroughly you can almost see it. I want to visit Ireland BECAUSE of this trilogy! It i a work of art and should not be missed!

i cannot even begin to express the emotions that i experienced when reading nora roberts's three part tale of three extraordinary sisters. i was captivated by the sisters's personal turmoil and absolutely in love with the three drop dead gorgeous men in their lives. i was mesmorized by the beautifully detailed images of ireland that nora roberts presented in the book. i recommend this book to anyone looking for exceptional reading.

This review is from: Born In Fire; Born In Ice; Born In Shame: Three Complete Novels (Hardcover)

I would recommend the Born in series of Nora Roberts. All three stories are excellent. The Concannon girls are wonderful, as are the men they become involved with. All very strong people. I loved the Irish setting. I also enjoyed the fact that i could carry the story on from the first book to the last. These stories are a bit different in that not all the situations are happy but that makes it all the more interesting. Please give these a try you won't regret it.
