Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The first in a projected trilogy about the lives of three Irish sisters, Born in Fire gets the series off to a fine start, telling the story of talented glass-artist Maggie Concannon's contentious relationship with Dublin gallery owner Rogan Sweeney. Country-dwelling Maggie is otherworldly, prickly and outspoken, while Rogan is an urban sophisticate; nevertheless, the attraction that springs up between this unlikely pair is both believable and compelling, thanks to Roberts's (Private Scandals) skillful character development. Lacking melodramatic overtones or strange twists of fate, the plot may seem less than exciting, but the conflicts Maggie and Rogan face are refreshingly realistic and the characters themselves, well-rounded and likable, will keep readers engaged.

From School Library Journal
YA?Artist Maggie Concannon creates beautiful glass images through a blowpipe and with a fiery furnace, much as she herself was born and survived her mother's angry frustrations and resentment. Then Maggie falls in love with Rogan, her new agent, who brings her passion, fame, and riches. Roberts's unique characters come to life through their wordplay and tempers. A light, fast-paced novel set in the Irish countryside.

Pure romance,
By D. Gadj "dgadj" (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Born in Fire: The Born In Trilogy #1 (Mass Market Paperback)
Good book if you are looking for a romance novel. No suspense at all, but rather a detailed portrait of a wealthy businessman trying to figure out how to conquer a wild artist and a vivid account of spolt relations between a mother and a daughter to the point of sickening!I don't find the book unrealistic in its descriptions of Ireland and Paris...I am from Europe, have travelled a lot (to both destinations as well) and have lived in North America for a long time. Actually, the fact that NR writes about other places is refreshing.
5.0 out of 5 stars
