Publisher's summary

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.

©2007 Nora Roberts (P)2007 Brilliance Audio

Critic reviews

"The conflicts Maggie and Rogan face are refreshingly realistic and the characters themselves, well-rounded and likable, will keep readers engaged." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A light, fast-paced novel set in the Irish countryside." ( School Library Journal)

Slow down....

This book would have been much more enjoyable if the narrator didn't read at the speed of light without seeming to have to take a breath. The Irish brogue is tolerable but with little inflection or pause, it's hard to follow the dialogue at times. Plus, the narrator doesn't have a wide range for female voices so most are difficult to distinguish.

I'm a fan of Nora Roberts and I'm sure the book would be a good read, but this particular narration is not one of my favorites.

GREAT narrator for a great story!

I've read the books in this series several times, but the audio, and this particular narrator, made it even better! Highly recommend.

Narrator needs help

The story was good but very hard to get into because of the narrator. This is the first book I have ever had to slow down because they talked too fast. His words and inflections didn’t aid the story at all.

Hot story, cold narration

This audiobook badly needed a female narrator. Why Roberts (or, rather Robb) chose one for her In Death series and not for this one, I cannot comprehend. You could get used to the narrator after a while but it still bothered me that oftentimes you cannot distinguish which character was speaking because the transitions were not clear enough. Five stars for the book, four for the audiobook, for the above reason.

Entertaining novel. Thumbs down on the narrator.

The novel is entertaining and fast paced. The reason I gave three starts.. the narrator. He reads too fast.

Loved it!!

Another great book from Nora. I started to think that all Nora's books where the same plot with different characters...this one proved me wrong. I loved it! Didn't want to stop listening.

narrator

narrator needs to practice procity. He read too fast in many parts that should have been read with more emphasis and better pacing. He portrayed Mave well.

I live this book, except for all this skipping during the reading. Not sure if it was my connection.or not. Still a very wonderful story.
