Summary: The best of the three but still doesn't cut the mustard
Review: Mia is bigger than life. She's the most powerful of the three witches and in this conclusion to the three sisters trilogy she faces her test against evil. In my opinion, this book suffers from the same problems as its two prequels. Character development could be better and plot is rather cliche. The story is somewhat slow going and didn't hold my interest very well but it's OK for light summer reading. The ending was rather weak compared to to the two first novels but moments of humor scattered throughout the book (especially involving Ripley) saved the story.I was disappointed in this series because Nora Roberts was highly reccomended to me by a friend. I didn't plan on reading anymore of her literature but recently, I picked up a copy of Carolina Moon and already find it better than any of the books in the Sisters series.

Summary: Umm...
Review: Well, this is the first Nora Roberts book that I read and I am not too pleased to say that it wasn't that interesting... I thought that this book would be quite good because Nora Roberts was recommended to me quite a bit from a friend. So, I purchased this book at a bookstore and when I read it, I was not at all interested. The book seemed slow paced to me and not much was happening. This book may be great to otehrs, but to me, I believed that the book was quite boring even though I did like some of the characters. Anyway, I didn't think that I would like any more of Nora Roberts' books because of this one and my lack of interest in this book, but luckily for me, I had already purcahsed seven more of her older books. I've recently read Honest Illusions and I believe that that is truly a good book and now that I think about it, Roberts is quite talented, but I didn't realize it when I read Face the Fire. Maybe it was because I hadn't read the first two books in this trilogy, but maybe not. Overall, this book was too slow for me, but others may enjoy it quite a deal.

Summary: still good reading
Review: I was somewhat disappointed with the ending. I agree with some other reviewers that it did lack something. I think the whole booksigning thing with Caroline wasn't necessary and it did abrupt quite suddenly. Mac could have played a more interesting role in this book since he was the one interpreting everything. In the first 2 books Mia was an independent tough-girl type and in this book she just wasn't. By the third book, I started to get annoyed with the whole "Nell's a good cook" thing. It still gets a 4 star rating from me though and it's worth the money. Not as much punch as the first two but still a good read.

Summary: Good ending to a great series
Review: This series was one of those, "I hate that it is over!" series for me. I do agree with some of the other readers who have said that this wasn't as fiery as the other two in the Three Sisters trilogy, but I still enoyed it. I just love it when "old friends" you've made in other books come back to "visit" again. This is one of those great series for a lazy afternoon, but do read them in order!!!

Summary: Prefect Summer Read!
Review: I have been a fan of Nora Roberts for many years, and genuinely enjoyed Face the Fire. I love the pace of the story, the riveting characters and the many plot twists...plus I just love Nora's style. She draws you in and keeps you hooked. A great escape for the summer. I took advice from a previous reviewer and checked out Shade of the Maple by Kirk Martin, the guy she called "the male Nora Roberts." I was very skeptical...until I started turning the pages faster and faster. Wow! He's got something magical, uncommon insight into women and relationships, an old soul indeed. These two books are a perfect combination by the pool!

Summary: This book has the Nora Roberts old style
Review: I've been a fan of Nora Roberts for a long time. As I've stated before, the first romance books that she wrote many years ago, I thought were beautiful and well-written. A writer develops a certain type style of their very own. Roberts has done just that. Unfortunately, some of the latest books that have been published with this author's name on them, just didn't hold water that she even wrote those books. They lacked her "certain" style, which is a wonderful mark when she writes. HOWEVER, this book had Nora's style-stamp and I loved it. I doubt that Nora has taken a crash course in Wicca101 to write so well about the Craft, so she either did some thoroughly extensive research, or she had the help of some sisters. No matter, I love a wonderful romance story and this trilogy didn't let me down. At least I haven't lost faith that Nora does still pen a few of her own books. As for Nora writing about magic, well think about it. Isn't romance started between two people by a spark? Sure it is. Obviously, if everyone wanted to read the same thing, a lot of writers would be in serious trouble. So you'll have conflicting opinions about any book. I've given Nora a few less stars on some of her more recent books, but believe me, this is Nora Roberts writing at her best. I really did enjoy this book. I would recommend it to anyone that loves to read romance. The love between Sam and Mia never died, the flame was just lowered. I thought Sam Logan was a great character. And I also thought the final story of this trilogy was HER BEST. That's the romantic in me.

Summary: Extremely Disappointing
Review: Believe it or not, I'm a fan of Ms. Roberts which was probably the reason I stuck with riding out this book, praying for it to get better. Unfortunately, it didn't--in fact, it got a lot worse. If I were to use one word to discribe this in context with the entire series, it would be anticlimatic. In Dance Upon the Air-the first in Three Sisters Island series, there is this undertone of a larger picture. There is a challenge that Nell as the heroine and Zack as the hero must face together and the subtle hint of something to be completed through out the series. The larger picture, the reader is led to believe, will build up and reach a conclusion in the last book. All the while, in the first and the second, the blantant challenges are faced. Nell and Zack and then Ripley and Mac (Heaven and Earth). So someone whose read the first two novels begin to expect the revelation of the larger picture, a joining of everyone of the characters to face the final challenge. This doesn't really happen. Besides the general lack of closure to the series, Mia's story itself was less than satisfying considering that Sam had literally broken her heart-on purpose years before. He isn't even dragged through hot coals for what he did to her. He gets off, in my opinion scot free and we're-the readers supposed to appreciate Mia's lack of character that she's taken him back without so much as a struggle to ruin his ego. As a result, Mia who seemed strong and intelligent in the previous novels, seems weak in this one. Besides that, the personal challenge that Mia is supposed to face never really occured. It seemed more obscure than their union to fend of an illusive demon-wolf. Was it her loving Sam again? Because if it was the sense of her falling for him again, or that she ever had was somewhat flimsy. I've read the entire series. I didn't love Dance Upon the Air but thought it was very good - albeit a little similar to Sleeping With the Enemy. I LOVED Heaven and Earth and I think it's one of her bests but Face the Fire was extrememly lacking of the magic I know Nora Roberts is capable of. I'm sure even some other die-hard fans of hers were just as disappointed as I-unfortunately.

Summary: Absolute amazing ending to the Three Sister Island Series
Review: It probably one of the best books I've read all summer. I thought Mia was passionate person who trys to protect her heart and her integrity by not opening up heart. She heorine among women because we try to protect are heart by not allowing ourselves to love. James Joyce said "The now, the here, through which all future plunges to the past." Mia had to face the past in order before she faced her destiny. The whole series was excellent because Roberts creates bond between people that pre-destine faith no matter if they were witch or just part of the connection. In all honesty out the I thought the final book was the best. Roberts did absolute stunning job of describing Mia throughout series, but wasn't until this book that you depth of personality and love for the island. Mia and Sam Logan made awesome duel together they both share the power, memories of the past, and destiny that will change their live. Marvalous ending to wonderful and hearful series

Summary: An excellent story, but the end lacks 'fire'
Review: I thought both Mia and Sam were excellent characters: strong-willed, powerful, and more than a little stubborn; and I have thoroughly enjoyed this entire trilogy. But I thought a lot more of Mia's internal turmoil could have been revealed toward the end; it would have made for a more profound ending. But, all in all, very well written, suspenseful, and--of course--romantic.

Summary: C+ Effort!
Review: Alas.... I was disappointed with this latest book "Face the Fire" By Nora Roberts. I do not know how such an exciting premise, and storyline could fall so flat, but Face manages to do so. Face the fire, was like anticipating drinking a latte... Only to find out the milk had gone sour. Don't get me wrong. I love Nora. But her last two books have lacked her usual spark. Mia Devlin, wiccan guru, is destined to save the island and all she holds dear, if she can only open her heart to love. Sam Logan (how many romance novel heroes are called Logan or Sam? ), business-man-wiccan, returns to the island, to reclaim his birthright.... The magic inn. What follows is a clash of wills, as Logan struggles to convince Mia that he loves her... despite walking out on her ten years ago. Mia, as a character suffers from 'superman' syndrome. She is too powerful, too smart, and too ...... "Too Everything.." in my opinion. Sam, is the same character as half a dozen Robert's men (Cam from the Chesapeake Bay series for example), except, with the added twist that he is a practicing witch. I would've liked to see Sam be different, perhaps more sensitive because of his witchiness and selkie heritage. Instead, Sam is no more enlightened (and is perhaps more clueless) than the average guy. There were plot threads in this book that went nowhere, and ended abruptly. The part about the book signing and the authoress? What's up with that? Overall, a good, but not great novel by Nora. If you wish to read a better Wiccan series by Nora, pick up the Donovan Legacy, you won't be disappointed
