Born in Ice: Born in Trilogy, Book 2

I don't usually like romance novels but this was entertaining! The narrator made it even better. I use audiobooks to exercise to so needless to say, I didn't miss my morning walking and even followed up by walking in the evening! LOL

I loved, loved, loved this book. I am crazy about this series so much so that I paid full price for the next in the series because I couldn't wait for my monthly allowance from audibles. Nora Roberts created a real treasure with this book. The heroine runs a bed and breakfast in the Irish countryside. She gets a guest from America who is a famous writer that has no home base and a mysterious past. It was fun to get a glimpse from the writers perspective. It is the usual Nora Roberts formula but it adds up to a terrific tale. The narrator makes it extra special with his beautiful Irish brogue and his easy transition between the "yanks" accent.

The second of the Born In trilogy, also set in County Clare, Ireland. Brianna Concannon is the younger sister of Maggie from Born in Fire. Unlike Maggie, she has a cool temper and an almost distant demeanor, though she engages warmly with her community and the visitors to her B&B. Grayson Thane is a writer of thrillers who has arranged to stay at Blackthorn Cottage while researching his latest book. He is, on the surface, very amiable, but when his writing gets him by the throat he can be rude and withdrawn. Their story is one of breaking down barriers put up to protect wary hearts.
The narrator is adept at catching the different accents - Irish, American, and upper-crust British (with a little Scottish thrown in as well).

The story was good, but the reader almost killed it for me. There is a lack of emotion in the reading although the characters were clearing defined in voice, something was missing. I wonder if the reader is used to doing non-romanace stories because his voice is great, but not for a romance. As far as the story, Nora Roberts does it again. I think I'll purchase the book and read if for myself.

Wind-swept Romance

When the mysterious Yank arrives at Blackthorn Cottage In the midst of a stormy night and sees Brianne for the first time.

I was surprised to hear an Irish reader and felt it added to the story telling since this book is set in Ireland.

It was a compelling story even though I have read the book several times before.

This is one of my favorite Nora Roberts books, and listening to it made it seem new.

The characters are well developed. I felt like I knew them like my own family.

I immediately purchased the third book. I wasn't ready to let go of them yet.

When Grey returned and was able to admit that he was in love.

I fell in love with them. It was a roller coaster of emotions.

Enjoyable listen.

I don't know if it was my imagination, but it seemed like Fiacre slowed down for this second book in the series. With the slower narration, there weren't the annoying breath sounds like there were in the first one. Great job.

cant say enough about the born in trilogy the reader is amzing and to read and change the accent per person WOW

It ranks high on my list keep me wanting to hear more

When she was so scared she told them to tell the people she died

I don't know

I love the stories of Ireland

Really enjoyed this second book in a trilogy. Great story line which kept you wondering how the author would make it all work out in the end. Great narration. Loved the American accent as well as the Irish. Enjoyed the whole listening experience
