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.

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)

Super story

Loved it. My first audiobook experience. But Nora Roberts is a known entity so I took the chance. Another super story from her hand. Cannot wait to get the remaining two volumes in the series.

Seriously, Nora Roberts?! A man?!

I ADORE this series. For the love why would you choose a male narrator for a female protagonist who is telling her own story??? You seriously couldn’t find a female narrator? Ugh. Look into duets, they bring the story to life more than 1 man doing every voice. Annoying!

Good Book. Just as I remembered

I read the book years ago and was happy to hear it in audio version. I would have liked a female narrator, but it was still worth the listen.

Beautiful descriptions

Interesting people. lovely accents. good character development and descriptions. I loved the detail of the glass art process, and the energy and creative process of the artist herself. The descriptions of the art openings were just enough for one to evision them. The emotions and personal changes were maybe a bit quick, but the overall effect was within the scale of the story.

Roberts romances are realistic

Any additional comments?

A good romance novel for me is one that has believable characters in believable stories. Nora Roberts does this better than most.

One of my favorites

Any additional comments?

This book really sucked me in from th first chapter. The whole concept of a wronged woman trying to mak it on h own really resonated with me. Add the supernatural and the sisters standing up for themselves and it was a great combo.

Worth a read if you're looking for fluff.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Overall the book was ok, but it was read by a main. The majority of characters were women, and I had a hard time getting into the reading with a male voice.

Love both the author and the narrator

Nora Roberts is my all time favorite author, and I have many authors I really like.
And Fiacre Douglas is a first class narrator.
Love his voice, his tempo when reading, the different character voices and ... his Irish accent.
