Summary: A Wonderful conclusion
Review: Although all of Nora Roberts books could stand alone, you wouldn't be hurt by having to read the others in her trilogies. I couldn't wait to get to the the third book in the Three Sisters Island trilogy. This one is Mia's story. All through the first two novels I caught myself wondering most about the most mysterious character, Mia. Ms. Roberts saved the best for last. Mia is faced with a tough dicision. After years she still nurses a broken heart and now has to face the one who broke it. Not only that, but events transpire that could end her world as she knows it.Ms. Roberts has outdone herself with all three books in this series. I enjoyed all three, and I finally got the questions answered regarding Mia I had been waiting for. As all others in this series I couldn't put this book down. This is a book I could easily read again.

Summary: Sweet story and FULL of romance!
Review: Face the Fire is a great weekend book, full of romance and a hint of suspense. Nora Roberts did a wonderful job developing the characters. It was easy to relate to the main characters and picture the story developing. Unlike some of Nora Robert's trilogies, it is not necessary to read the first two books in the Three Sisters Island Trilogy before reading Face the Fire. The stories are not interrelated. Highly recommend this romance novel for any romance fan, not just Nora Robert's advocates.

Summary: Leaving something to be desired
Review: I absolutely loved Dance Upon the Air and Heaven and Earth. This book was fair, but when judged against its predecessors it falls short. Mia and Sam's relationship seemed unrealistic: Sam's sudden desire to return to Three Sisters and Mia's sudden epiphany at the end of the story (which I couldn't understand.) However, the characters and background from the last two books made this story enjoyable. I loved the suprises Nell and Ripley both had. So, in the end if you liked the first two books, you might as well read the third just to finish the story of 3 Sisters Island.

Summary: Wonderful Book! Trying to find info on the Island
Review: I loved the books so much that I am actually trying to do some research and see if the island is real. Would love to visit sounds so beautiful. Hoping that part of the story is true.

Summary: If I could have understood half of it, it would have rated
Review: much higher! I couldn't believe how Roberts dropped the ball on the last book. Mia in the previous books was shown to be strong, confident and fearless, but this book tore all that apart, and left me with a feeling of what happened? In many parts Roberts didn't write directly what Mia was thinking, or doing, which led to a disjointed feeling within the book. And the part about Sam coming back as the 4th element? That was so out of left field. I don't know what went wrong, as the other two were so strong. Ripley and Nell were both strong in this book as any other, and Ripley grew tremendously within the book from the previous ones. Buy this to finish up 3 sisters, but don't expect it to be your favorite book of all time.

Summary: Weak, but still a good story
Review: Nora Roberts not so good books are better than many of other authors best books. Sam and Mia are on the same island again. They are learning to work through old pains and hurts and to love each other again. The passion is intense. The story is nice. It is a nice ending to a lovely series. I rated this four stars rather than the usual five. I found this book to be much anticipated and it did not live up to the promises hinted at in the other books of this series. Further, I got tired of hearing about how Nell was a good cook. To top that all of, once I learned the story of how Mia was hurt and why Sam had left, I was dissapointed with the poor reasoning. Despite the above problems I had with the book, the series is wonderful and the story is nice. The book is rich in passion and history and love. It is well worth reading, particularly if you have read the others in the series. Enjoy.

Summary: An explosive ending to the trilogy
Review: NOTE: It should be mentioned that if you find witchcraft offensive to your personal beliefs, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. Don't say we didn't warn you. I notice that many people have recommended something more in line with Christian thinking. If you haven't read Dance upon the Air, the basic premise to the trilogy is this: centuries ago, three witches created a new island off the coast of New England, where they hoped to live in peace. Unfortunately, each one was destroyed by a love gone wrong. It is now up to each of their descendants to once again face the test, and conquer it. If any one of them fails, legend has it the island will be swallowed by the sea. The modern-day three sisters are Nell Channing, Ripley Todd and Mia Devlin. Of the three, Mia is by far the most skilled and powerful. However, that means that what comes at her will be the most powerful, as well. But she has been preparing for this all her life, and is ready to protect those she loves...or die trying. Long ago, Mia loved Sam Logan with all her heart. She thought he felt the same, but then he left the island, and her. Now he's back, and wants to reclaim what he once threw away. Although she feels the old attraction, Mia won't give Sam a second chance at her heart--for she knows that it is the one thing that could destroy her. Everything in this book is about revisiting former characters, instead of the usual getting to know new ones. Although this is Mia and Sam's story, the others have not been dropped by the wayside (don't you hate it when that happens in series books?). The story's tone makes it as easy to slip into as a well-worn shoe. The same goes for the long-absent Sam. For a large part of the book he is definitely persona non grata on the island, and is put through many trials and tribulations, which I must say satisfies my bloodthirsty soul. However, his dedication to Mia and dogged pursuit of her will slowly win everyone over. Readers of the trilogy have been eagerly waiting for Mia's tale. She has come close to stealing the show before, and great things were expected of her story. For the most part she delivers, although I would have liked more detail as to the resolution of her feelings for Sam and how that impacted her final confrontation with evil. Because of this and of the many typos and editorial errors in this book (just a little rushed, were we?), I give this four stars. **In terms of appearance, who's the genius who decided on a pink spine??? Visually I found that quite jarring, since the other two books seem to have a very "nautical" theme.

Summary: Nora, what happened????
Review: Ok folks Nora got me hooked with the first book in the trilogy. Excellent read {5 stars}... The second one was not a good as the first but still very good {4 1/2 stars}. I was so excited about the third novel that I went and got it the first day it came out. I just could not wait to see how it all ended... What the heck happened to the third novel??? Very anti-climatic and almost boring compaired to the first two books... I was very disappointed with the ending of this trilogy.

Summary: Good but not as good as the other two (3 1/2 stars)
Review: Okay, I'll preface this by saying that I found this book to be entertaining enough and the writing was good. But, when compared with Roberts' other work and the other two books in the series, it didn't hold up her normal level of quality. My biggest problem is that Mia was the strongest and most compelling woman of the three from the series but her story was the least compelling of the trilogy. That was disappointing. I liked that Mia and Sam were Fire and Water and had the complimentary and yet fire and ice sort of relationship. Thing is, I didn't find the whole idea of him leaving the way he did and yet coming back and expecting her to fall at his feet very enticing. The way he left was cruel and I couldn't understand why she should take him back or even why we're supposed to believe he had this deep love for her. The Sam of the present was not the Sam that left Mia, but you're supposed to think he is except for this glaring mistake. Yes, people change but I didn't buy it. So much happens in the story that you don't understand or seems to come from nowhere, big and important parts of the story seem to have been added at the last minute. I thought the end was totally confusing and even though I read it a few times it still seemed to come out of left field. Usually Roberts does this sort of thing exceptionally well, and she did in the other two books, but this one left me feeling unsatisfied. All in all, it was interesting enough to hold my attention and it was nice to see the character progression for Nell and Ripley but it left me feeling flat.
