Summary: The best in three sisters stories.
Review: I recommend you all. Nora Roberts is good at writing about not only romance but also family ties.

Summary: Last of the Trilogy, Just as Great!
Review: I simply loved Murphy! He knew what he wanted, he just had to win Shannons' heart. I enjoyed all three books tremendously, all were real winners!! More! More! More!

Summary: It brings Ireland alive and makes falling in love MAGICAL
Review: I thought the other 2 in the trilogy were good -- but visiting Ireland from an American woman's perspective was simply wonderful. Nora Roberts brings everything I love about Ireland alive for me -- the music, the green hills, the warmth of the people. I COULD NOT put it down, and looked forward to the subway ride home to read it again! Just one question -- WHERE does one find a man like Murphy Muldoon in New York?!

Summary: Not Her Best Work
Review: I usually enjoy Roberts' stories-despite the fact that she tends to recycle her plots and characters. Anyway, of the three books in the trilogy, Born in Shame is my least favourite. The heroine, Shannon, is rather unappealing. She lacks Maggie's spirit and Brianna's sweetness. Murphy, the hero, is great, but I just kept thinking, he's too good for her. The supernatural/mythical elements in the story are kind of silly. Roberts does a much better job of weaving them into her other, more recent, Irish trilogy. Roberts has written some memorable romances, but this is not one of them.

Summary: Great culmination of a series
Review: I'm a big fan of Ms. Roberts work. This final book in the Born In series, tied the pieces together. The characters are wonderfully and richly written. The drama between the newly found sisters shows great depth of character not previously seen in the characters of Maggie and Brianna. It's a great series and I would (& have) recommended it to friends and family.

Summary: A great end to an inspiring trilogy
Review: Nora Roberts strikes Irish gold once again with this last of the "Born" trio. While I wondered how this unknown Concannon, Shannon Bodine, would be worked into the tightly knit fabric of Maggie and Brianna's family and village, the portrayal of Shannon as she loses and then finds herself is enthralling. Ms. Roberts perfectly catches the emotions Shannon feels -- shock, betrayal, denial, confusion, anger, passion -- during her life-changing moments... it were as if Ms. Roberts had consulted with a psychologist for the range of emotions someone like Shannon would feel. The romance with Murphy Muldoon and Shannon's discovery of her Irish soul will keep you reading from cover to cover.

Summary: Missing Something
Review: Overall this was a pretty good book, but it wasn't quite up to the other books in the series. I really liked the two main characters, Shannon and Murphy (expecialy Murphy). There was an OK plot, ending the little mystery of what happend to Amanda and her unborn child. There was even a bit of the supernatural thrown in. Unfortunatly I felt that the story was a little weak. It seemed like this story was just sort or written up quick to finish off the series. I'd hoped to see somthing a little better for Murphy, and a little more of him for that matter. He didn't seem to be around a whole lot. Even though I didn't find this story to be quite as good as the others I still recomend that you read it.

Summary: One of Nora Roberts' Best!
Review: Shannon Bodine knows how quickly life changes. Her father passed away suddenly and unexpectedly a year earlier and now her mother was dying of cancer. Shannon didn't know how she could bear to lose both of her parents so close together, but her mother's dying words shattered Shannon's carefully ordered world. Her real father was Thomas Concannon, a man her mother met and had an affair with in Ireland years ago. Shannon was devastated and grieving when the private investigator found her and informed her that she had two sisters living in Ireland - and they wanted to meet her. Shannon immediately rejected the offer to visit and returned to her work as a graphic artist in New York, but she couldn't focus and nothing seemed important. Before she knew it, she found herself on her way to Ireland and a family she had never met...From the moment Murphy Muldoon saw her, he knew that Shannon was the one for him. He had been dreaming of her for years and now she was finally here, in the flesh, all he had to do was make her his. But Shannon was strong and stubborn and Murphy found that he had his work cut out for him. Oh, she was attracted to him, he could see that well enough, but she resisted his efforts to court her and refused to believe that she could have a life there in Ireland with him as a painter. But Murphy was stubborn too, and this time, he wasn't about to let her go... This is the third book in the 'Born in' series and it is my favorite of the trilogy. I loved Shannon and Murphy's characters and enjoyed seeing the people from the other books pop up in this one so I could see how they were doing. Roberts must have a special love for Ireland because she paints such a beautiful picture of the country and makes it almost a character in the book. The love story here is wonderful, two modern people from very different walks of life with some powerful dreams mixed in to make things complicated. This is a wonderful, fast, fun read that I enjoy reading time and time again!
