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)

The Perfect Romance

Would you listen to Born in Fire again? Why?

It is very pleasing, well written, romantic, funny, sexy, strong and full of craft.

Any additional comments?

I loved the accent, I have always been drawn to the Irish culture and this only served to make me want to travel more.
What a strong & intelligent woman - yet her heart as complex as any womans.
Great escape from a womans normal weekly grind, I will enjoy going back and listening again.

Better every time

I love this book. I got it in paperback from my mother years ago, and I make a point to read the series at least once a year.
I love the audio of this, it forces me to actually enjoy the book (I tend to read through the night, finishing books in 2 days). The narrator absolutely captured it perfectly.

Exceptional Story

This is my favorite trilogy by Nora Roberts. This one and the key trilogy are her best works.

Great Story, bad narrator

I very much enjoyed this story, it was creative and interesting. However, the narrator made it extremely difficult to endure the audio. He read very quickly with little to no inflection or feeling at all. He was not the kind of reader that I would expect from a Nora Roberts book. I was very disappointed with the audio version will definity read the rest of the series in paperback.

Nora Roberts excels again

If you could sum up Born in Fire in three words, what would they be?

This novel is a good listen with excellent characterization.

What did you like best about this story?

It a great story about a young women's dreams and how she achieves them.

Which scene was your favorite?

The joy that the heroine exhibits upon receiving a check for her work is exciting.

What a fun read!

this is by far the most enjoyable book I have read from Nora roberts. I love the banter back and forth between the two main characters and I could not put it down. it always left me in such a good mood well done Nora!

Beautiful Love Story

True to Nora Roberts form. She never disappoints and always leaves you wanting more. I can’t wait to read the next one.

A beautiful start to a brilliant trilogy

This is such a fine series it will make you want to book a trip to Ireland and even listen to it again when you need some beauty in your life and to feel hopeful about the world again. The narration is masterful. The folks with the one star reviews either don't like romance or feel the need to take pot shots at an author just because she is successful. (Why do women do that? There is room enough for us all to be successful) I'm sorry for them in either case.

This was a very good book and I will be recommending it to my friends who also listen to audible

Outstanding Book and Narrator

I loved this book so much the first time I heard it, that I began listening to it again. I'm an artist and this may have been part of the reason. It has great characters and the story of their lifes were real and rich. Don't pass it up. FYI, it was my first Nora Roberts book and I'm looking forward to more.
