This is my first experience with Nora Roberts. I borrowed this book from a friend. It's technically three books but they're all bound together in the Irish Born trilogy The three books in the trilogy are Born in Fire, Born in Ice, and Born in Shame. They follow the same family of sisters and their love lives. The first book focuses on Maggie, a glass blowing artist in Ireland. She's very talented and stubborn and is signed on by Rogan Sweeny, also stubborn, who owns Worldwide Galleries. Of course they eventually fall in love. Theh second book focuses on Brianna (Brie) who is Maggie's sister. Brie is quiet, kind, and owns a B&B. She is a miraculous chef, excellent gardener, and all around home-centered individual. During the winter months she has an America guest, Grayson Thane, who authors mystery novels. His latest novel is set in Ireland so he's there to research. Brie and Gray fall in love in an altogether different way than Maggie and Rogan. I think I like the second book best because I like to relate to her. The third book is about Shannon, the other girls' unknown sister from another mother. Shannon learns about her true past rooted in Ireland and travels to meet Brie and Maggie and find out more about her father (their father). Along the way she meets Murphey, the strong farmer who is like a brother to Maggie and Brie. Murphey and Shannon share an otherworldly connection that is revealed at the end of the book. Shannon takes more time to fall because it means forsaking everything she's worked for up to this point. I really like the books even though they were considered smut. I don't know that I'm going to read Nora Roberts exclusively, but I'll definitely read more of her series. I've heard the wedding series is amazing so after I down a few other books, I'll return to her. I honestly hate to return the book.
