Summary: A fitting and great end to the trilogy!!!
Review: Of the three books in this trilogy, I have to say that FACE THE FIRE is the best of the lot. The interaction between Mia Devlin and Sam Logan is sizzling, funny and passionate. The character of Lu Lu is also wonderful. Lu Lu bringing quite abit of levity and common sense to the tempestuous dynamics between Mia and Sam. Nora Roberts has scored a triple-hit mwith this trilogy. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: A disappointing conclusion
Review: Mia's character and hints about Sam were explored in the first two books of the trilogy leading to a delicious sense of anticipation for the romance between the two of them in third book. I found this story to be somewhat contrived and a disappointment. Mia and Sam are both strong characters and the book did not do justice to either of them. The reason why Sam left Mia was weak. The grudge Mia held for Sam throughout most of the book was even weaker. This conclusion to the trilogy betrayed both characters. I feel that Nora Roberts is one of the best romantic novelists around, but must admit I skipped thru about a third of the book, finding it boring, slow going and forced. Fortunately Ms. Roberts can be counted on to produce good writing more often than not!

Summary: Face the Fire is a big disappointment.
Review: Once again, Nora Roberts has let her readers down. The 3rd book in this trilogy seems to be an afterthought, as if she was in a hurry to wrap it up. Perhaps she is writing too much, and not taking the time to be creative. I looked forward to the story of Mia for months;what I read was a partial explanation of what happened between them. Sam is a very weak character. The story is weak, boring, and confusing, and I had the 'blahs' when I finished. Perhaps Nora should give up writing trilogies.
This has happened before - Born in Shame was weak, but the first two in the trilogy were wonderful and funny. I would like to revisit the three sisters in Ireland.
I hate to say it, but I used to buy everthing by Nora Roberts, but not anymore. I will be more cautious from now on.

Summary: Ok... but not as much character development as I and II
Review: Don't get me wrong--- nobody does a romantic trilogy like Nora Roberts. But I must confess--- the third book in the Sisters trilogy left me somewhat disappointed. My favorite component of Nora Roberts' novels is the character development. Mia's story with Sam left much to be desired. I was longing for more flashbacks- more meat about their history together. The plot, surrounding the wolf-demon- was vague, and Mia's "challenge" didn't seem as intense as the previous novels. I'm still a fan--- but this was a bit of a let down.

Summary: Another Great Read from Nora Roberts
Review: Great ending to a trio of books. Nora Roberts is always one of my favorite authors. She mixes sizzling romance with fictional history and strong characters and story lines. This is the 3rd in a series, so don't start this one without reading the other two first. By the way, please don't think a man read and reviewed this book...my husband's name is on the account. XOXO Mary

Summary: Great Series Conclusion
Review: I have waited impatiently for this final book of the series to hit the streets and was not disappointed. In Face the Fire, Mia, Nell and Ripley continue in their task to rid the island once and for all of the evil waiting to return the island to the sea. We get to learn more about "Fire's" past life and what happened to make her so sad. We also get to be there for the return to the island of Mia's only love from his 11-year absense and into Mia's arms. We finally understand what it was that Sam did all those years ago to make Mia still carry anger for him after 11 years and a front row seat to his quest to get Mia back in his life permanently. Nora does an excellent job of spinning all three of sisters' lives together and the end was well worth waiting for. I'm just sad that there's not a 4th book!!!

Summary: Nobody Does It Better
Review: When Nora's at the top of her game, as she has been in all three books of the Three Sisters trilogy, nobody, but nobody, can beat her. "Face the Fire," the third and best in this saga about modern-day witches, is just perfect.In this offering, we get to know Mia Devlin, the third and most powerful witch, in a way we have not done before. Nell and Ripley and their husbands are in the story as well, and it is a pleasure to read about them again, but this is definitely Mia's story. It is up to her to turn back an ancient curse that threatens to send the entire island of Three Sisters (loosely based on Martha's Vineyard, I believe) back into the sea. The curse is deadly--and very strong. Both Nell and Ripley, in the two previous books, did their parts to weaken the curse, and now Mia must complete it. But it isn't that easy. As a sinister fog surrounds Mia and all that she loves, she must gather her power to fight not only the curse, but her own heart. For Mia's old lover, Sam Logan, has returned to the island after 11 years away. Is it her destiny to take him back? And if it is, can she overlook the terrible hurt he caused when he left her the first time? In the end, all is resolved in the most satisfying of ways. This is one of Nora's trilogies that has the reader begging for more, hoping against hope that Nora will continue the story into the second generation. She's done it before--I hope she does it again, because I hate to leave the Three Sisters behind!

Summary: Finally!
Review: Nora Roberts has done it yet AGAIN! I love a great trilogy and no one can do them like Nora! It was great to finally experience Mia and find out that she wasn't as together as she appeared to be in Books 1 and 2. You can't help but fall in love with the Three Sisters men: Sam, Zack and Mac. I hated for the book to end but hope we get a chance in the future to read about the offsprings of Earth, Fire(and Water), and Air!

Summary: Excellent Conclusion!
Review: After the first book of the series, Dance Upon the Air, I couldn't wait for the next 2 to come out. Heaven & Earth was great, too, but I figured that the third book had to have enough punch to give the entire series a legacy. And it did, in my opinion. It had an ending to the saga of the three wonderful witches that left me admiring Nora Roberts and her writing abilities even more than I already did! It's a great book, but make sure you read the other two first.
