Publisher's summary

Mia Devlin knows what it is like to love with your whole heart - and then watch your love walk away. Years ago, she and Sam Logan shared an incredible bond built on passion, legend, and fate. But then one day he fled Three Sisters Island, leaving her lost in memories of the magic they shared - and determined to live without love.

The new owner of the island's only hotel, Sam, has returned to Three Sisters with hopes of winning back Mia's affections. He is puzzled when she greets him with icy indifference - for the chemistry between them is still sizzling and true.

Angry, hurt, and deeply confused, Mia refuses to admit that a passion for Sam still burns in her heart. But she'll need his help - and his powers - to face her greatest, most terrifying challenge. And as the deadline for breaking a centuries-old curse draws near, they must take the first steps toward destiny - and come together to turn back the dark.

Critic reviews

"Well written and well crafted....Sandra Burr creates subtly different voices and accents for the different characters. Her pacing is excellent, and she conveys just the right amount of expression and emotion to make listening a light and thoroughly enjoyable experience." ( AudioFile)

Fantasy at its best from the heart of Nora Roberts

Over the last month or so I was beginning to look for something new. Christmas is always a slow time for new books and I had been re listening to old favourites.

I went back through my Library for books I had purchased in previous sales, books I probably would not normally buy but held some interest, in some way, so I purchased them at the discounted price.

One of these purchases was Dance Upon the Air (Three Sisters Island Trilogy).

I purchased it because of the witchcraft & paranormal element and because Sandra Burr is an excellent Narrator.

Once I started to listening I was hooked and now that I have finished the series I am searching for more of Nora Roberts books with a witchcraft/paranormal bent.

Face the Fire is the final instalment in the Three Sisters Island trilogy, which has held me from book one. As with its predecessors, this book does not disappoint and will leave you believing in magic. The narration by Sandra Burr is excellent each and every character comes alive with her narration.

The series is revolves around the Circle of Three with the present day witches having the same powers as their female ancestors. Nell Channing is Air, Ripley Todd is Earth and Mia Devlin is Fire. Each one of these three women will face situations similar to their ancestors and each must make a choice battling evil and in the end love and magic will either win or lose all (no spoilers sorry ;).

As the series progresses, the reader becomes quite invested in the strong characters, not only in Nel, Ripley & Mia and their counterparts Zach, Mac & Sam but the support characters and even the villain(s).

There's a menacing thread throughout each book in the trilogy that culminates in the last book with a twist.

Whilst each book is dedicated to each of the 'sisters' but each book also adds to the back story and helps bring not only the main characters to life but the support characters and the island it's self.

Nora Robert's deft touch creates a sexy and magical romance edged with mystery.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes their Fantasy with just the right amount of the paranormal & romance. But if you can't let your mind encompass witchcraft and paranormal events this is best left alone. . . when I told my sister I was listening to this series it turned out she was a Nora Roberts fan but hated this series and never even finished the first book . . .

Each to their own

Great Story

I loved this book as well as the other two in this trilogy. Nora Roberts comes through again

Awesome series

This was an amazing series. Loved the narrator! Nora Roberts out did it again! My favorite author

3 sister island was great!

I loved this series! What a great ending! Even thought I didn't want it to end😊. Narration was awesome and enjoyable!

Nora Roberts has done it again.

I loved this series so much! What fun and so very creative. You must listen.

Favorite Trilogy

I love all three books. ive read them all countless times and I never get bored with it. I think they would make a great movie (hint, hint Nora Roberts)

So mote it be

I enjoyed the final book of Three Sisters.
The reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is because I feel that the last 2 chapters fell short of what I expected. Throughout this novel, you built up to an exploding conclusion. I felt let down because the huge ending should have been that!
I will always be a huge fan of your talent & will continue to applaud you!

great story

I enjoyed it very much .
it was hard to put down.
going to listen to more.
thank you

Three sisters trilogy

This is one of my favorite series! I listen to it at least once a year! The characters are like old friends💗

Read this - don't listen!

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I love the Three Sisters Trilogy and usually re-read it once a year. I was short on time, and had credits, so I downloaded Face the Fire. What a mistake! The narrator's voice was fine during the narration. However, her interpretation of the sisters - Nell, Ripley and Mia - ruined it for me. She chose to use higher pitched voices and the sisters sounded like little girls. The sisters were three strong women and the voices used by the narrator diminished them, in my opinion.

It was so disappointing, I had to quit listening.

I won't download the other two, because I don't think I could stand it.
