Rating: Summary: romantic Review: This book is very romantic. Combination of Ireland background - where there are mist and myth, and of course the unique characters that mingled in such an impossible situation but still they (or Ms. Roberts) worked that out well, at last. And, I always like Ms. Robert's women. They are strong and level headed. We can be inspired by this book. Read it, and I hope you find it as irresistable as I did.

Rating: Summary: Murphy Muldoon - where are you? Review: This is one of my favorite books by Nora Roberts - and believe me, I've read most of them! Maybe it's the ambiance of Ireland, the language, the music, the EMOTION of a country and a people known for their passion, but I fell in love with the love story between Murphy and Shannon. Who DOESN'T want love to be eternal?I've read many books since this one and it continues to stand out as one of my all-time favorites. May a knight as wonderful as Murphy come sweep me off my feet. I'm waiting!
Rating: Summary: easy to read and completely believable Review: This is the third book of a series so well written that,while each book stands alone on its merits, they blend very smoothly one into another. It is a story of three sisters, this one being a love child born in USA. She is discovered by the other two sisters through letters found in the attic. They invite her to come to Ireland, which she finally does. The interaction is completely realistic and thoroughly readable. I have read these books, Born in Fire, Born in Ice, and Born in Shame, several times and enjoy them more each time.
Rating: Summary: Not What I Expected... Review: This was such a good book. All three in this trilogy are really good. They just sweep you away to a place where family means a lot and friends are true. I loved it and highly recommend. This trilogy is one of Nora Roberts best.

Rating: Summary: Glowing and Real Review: You can always tell when the author is stoked by the environment and the people of the country she is writing about. This trilogy which includes Born in Fire and Born in Ice is outstanding. The dialog is stunningly real, the people literally lodge in your heart and mind with their realism and charm and the descriptions of the scenery and of Ireland itself is just magnificent. There are times when you laugh outloud, grind your teeth, feel yourself tearing up and vicariously enjoying the yummy pastries that Brianna bakes up. There is real heart in these three tales and of them I particularly liked this final book of the trilogy. I think it is because Shannon is American born of Irish descent and her somewhat "ballsy", hip and smart approach to life teaches the two Irish born sisters some real nitty gritty style in dealing with their despicable mother Maeve who has done her best to try to ruin their lives with her bitterness and failure. The three males who love these three sisters, especially Murphy, who is beautiful on every level, simply charms the heart of even the most jaded reader. Often, throughout the trilogy one wishes "if only" all males were like him. Rogan and Gray are equally charming but their male ego struggles to accept their burgeoning love for Maggie and Brianna, respectively are difficult and frustrating at times. Murphy, the patient, handsome, talented and humble neighbor and friend simply shoots his love arrows straight from the heart to Shannon. Like the Light of Ireland that bathes that land of enchantment and gaelic mysticism with its special glow, so too does the lore and magic dazzle the reader throughout the pages of these three books and make this trilogy a put on the shelf to reread especially when one's spirits are bogged down by the daily grind. Thrilling and wonderful stories that flow in a river of light from the imagination, the experiences and the talent of Nora Roberts, again.
