  <default_description>Maggie Concannon is a glassmaker whose exquisite works are more than mere objects of beauty: they are reflections of her own true nature. One man has seen the soul in her art, and vows to help this complex woman build a lucrative career.

When gallery owner Rogan Sweeney comes to Maggie's isolated studio, her heart is enflamed by their fierce attraction - and her scarred past is slowly healed by a gentle and forgiving love.</default_description>

I have to admit a fondness for anything set in Ireland and this triology takes place in a small town in western Ireland.  The protagonists of all three books in this series are sisters.

    <body><![CDATA[It's a bit different from a few others that I've read of NR meaning, the excitement of thrill for the highly unexpected and supernatural was not there, but, nonetheless, it was a great read and kept you enthralled as Maggie battled with her demons she calls her mother and her heart.

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed meeting Maggie, and Brie Concannon in this first book of the trilogy.  This book centers around glass artist, Maggie and the tug of war over her heart between her and Rogan Sweeney, the art gallery owner who wants to showcase her work. It's a comfortable, fluff read with well developed cha...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68501225">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Oh, stop judging me!! I can't help it. Marketing reading is brain numbing sometimes and I need a mindless escape. It's a nice simple story about two people with really strong personalities who bicker constantly while having to work together but really love each other.... quite familiar in many ways....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56848699">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[After finishing the last book in the &quot;Born In..&quot; series I felt like I was saying goodbye to long lost friends. This rarely happens for me because I read so much, but Nora introduced me to the best of people and the best of traditions.

    <body><![CDATA[Liked this book because of the stark contrast between oh-so-elegant hero (reminded me of Pierce Brosnan) with his dark good looks/elegance...and the heroine's tomboy ways!  Loved the heroine so much that I overlooked her 'diminutive' height which usually irritates me.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The beginning was a bit slow for my taste, but being a Nora Roberts fan, I trudged through it. Not surprisingly, by the fourth chapter I was sold. I couldn't put it down. I laughed out loud, oohed and awed, and wiped tears from my cheeks. Great read. ]]></body>
