Rating: Summary: Nora Roberts is Unsurpassed! Review: I think Nora Roberts is at the top of her game in terms of her ability to spin a fast, fascinating and moving tale. Born in Fire is particularly fun, given the brassy heroine Maggie. She's fiery and petulant, and I loved getting to know her. If you like a good romance, one that keeps the pages turning, you'll love Born in Fire, and you'll love the other two, as well (Born In Ice, Born In Shame). There is none better than Nora. As a writer myself, I long for the ability to turn a phrase in such a becoming, simple manner as she. I would recommend her to anyone, and this book in particular. Have fun in Ireland! I know I sure did.
Rating: Summary: Down to Earth and oh so romantic!! Review: I thought that this was the beginning of a wonderful trilogy. After reading this one I couldn't wait to read the remaining two. I would recommend it to anyone even if they aren't Irish. It has emotion and it's a real page turner. One of the best reads I have ever picked up and let me tell you, I could not put it down and neither will you!!
Rating: Summary: Wonderful&Funny&Romantic Review: I thought the book was well written, I couldn't put it down!!! The romance, the family battles, the bond between 2 sisters, all so fasinating. To the person below who wrote that "only American who have never lived in another country like this book": I am not an American, and I have lived in different countries since childhood, but I still enjoy the book very much. I think people can be over sensitive sometimes.
Rating: Summary: My first but not my last Nora Roberts book. Review: I'd heard of Nora Roberts but had never read any of her books. This trilogy was given to me by someone at work. I've read the first two (Born in Fire and Born in Ice) and am greatly anticipating Born in Shame. Highly recommend!!
Rating: Summary: I love it! Review: I've alawys loved Nora's characters, and this one doesn't fail me. Maggie, a glass sculptress, is full of passion and talent. She is untamed, stubborn, and has a temper, but all of her humane flaws make her all the more attractive. And Rogan, the gallery owner who falls in love with her, is a typical Nora's guy. He pulls the best out of Maggie. It was also a pleasure to imagine how do Maggie's glass works look like.
Rating: Summary: TOTAL HEAT!!!! Review: If you are a lover of romances this is the book for you. Full of passion and comedy. Not only did Nora Roberts write a best seller this time, she wrote a story that will touch your heart. one that will be hard to forget. "Born of Fire" is a book that stole my breath. It will captivate you.
Rating: Summary: a terrific book Review: loved the setting of this story as much as the story itself. because of nora roberts and her books, ive grown to love stories set with the irish. to be able to read the words and hear that accent is to me truly amazing. maggie is the oldest child having been raised in a home with no family love. she is close to her father and sister, but her mother is a different person all together. because of this lack of love from her, maggie is determined to make something of herself if only to prove her mother wrong. breaking the outer shell shes developed as a form of protection wont be easy, but rogan intends to do just that. a lovely story with enough mystery to leave the reader hoping they have their copy of born in ice sitting nearby once they close the last page of this one ::smile
Rating: Summary: Nora Robert's character Maggie, is one of a kind. Review: Nora Robert's did not let me down with the wonderful character in Maggie. She is passionate, fierce and vunerable. Her love for her sister, dad and her art make this book for me. Enjoy.
Rating: Summary: Funny, realistic situations and romance Review: Nora Roberts introduces this "Born in..." trilogy with the story of Maggie Concannon, a newly discovered Irish artist. The exploration of Maggie's relationships with her parents and sister are so true-to-life and gripping that one feels as if they really know the Concannon family. Maggie's blossoming romance with Rogan Feeny is both humorous and touching, as Ms. Roberts explores the pair's very different personalities - and their overwhelming attraction for each other! A great read that left me anxious for more about Maggie and her family
Rating: Summary: Beginning of a great series Review: One of the best romance series I've read. All three novels were quite enjoyable. There were some predictable sections but you have a tendency to overlook this because the characters are so real and I found I cared for them. Ms. Roberts also makes Ireland so real; you feel you are there and experiencing the country along with the characters. I strongly recommend "Born in Ice" and "Born in Shame."
