Publisher's summary

RITA Award Winner, Best Romance of 1995

When the harsh storms of winter descend upon western Ireland, the locals stay indoors - and visitors stay away. Brianna Concannon's bed-and-breakfast becomes a cold and empty place. And that's fine with Brianna. She enjoys the peace and quiet, even when icy winds howl at her window.

This year, though, she's expecting an unusual guest: mystery writer Grayson Thane, from America. A restless wanderer with a dark past, he plans to spend the cold winter alone. Yet sometimes fate has a plan of its own. Sometimes a fire can be born in ice...

Critic reviews

"Captures the charisma and earthy charm of Ireland." (Publishers Weekly)

"Fiacre Douglas characterizes the icy, beautiful Brianna Concannon, recently jilted, with subtle nuances and tonal shading mixed with a thick Irish brogue." (AudioFile)

An old favorite but terrible narration

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

The book has always been a favorite, but I can't recommend the audio version.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Brie is strong and competent and finds comfort in her home.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Fiacre Douglas?

I would have preferred a female narrator. This narrator talked too fast when speaking female roles. To make matters worse, he made Gray about as lifeless as a brick. No inflection, no feeling behind any of his dialogue. The narrator was literally just reading at times with no effort.

May be my favorite Roberts hero.

I love the way Grayson works through his emotions. His character doesn't seem to understand how his life has changed.

Beautifully Heart touching volume of a wonderful series

This is quite probably and Roberts best series. All 3 volumes are comprised of compelling characters, in a beautiful setting with plots that tug at your heartstrings right through to the deeply satisfying conclusions. Stories to own and revisit from time to time.

narrator

I always enjoy this book. I wish the narrator had read it first, And given more thought to the nuances of speech.
