Publisher's summary

Shannon Bodine is a talented graphic artist whose life revolves around her job at a prestigious New York advertising agency. Her world is turned upside down when she learns the identity of her real father: Thomas Concannon.

Respecting her late mother's wish, Shannon travels, however reluctantly, to County Clare. There, her loneliness and shame melt away in the embrace of the family she never knew existed. And amid the lush Irish landscape, steeped in mysticism and legend, she discovers the possibility of a love that is meant to be.

Ah, Ireland

Of the three in this trilogy, I was surprised to find I liked the other two better. The best one for me was "Born In Ice." They all strike chords in one, but for some reason this one didn't with me. This could be for a lot of reasons having to do with me, not the books. I read this one last.
The narrator was wonderful, and I really enjoyed listening to the performance. I have read other Nora Roberts books in print form, and I am considering getting them through Audible so I can "hear" that Irish voice for real.

Ghostly Past.

This is an interesting story. It brings closure to a family mystery with an unexpected twist.

Amazing Story, bad American accent

I really love this trilogy, particularly books one and three. The narrator did a fine job on all the Irish parts, but I cringed when he tried to do an American voice, somehow made them seem hillbilly-ish and uneducated. Didn’t stop me from enjoying the story though.

Very enjoyable

Was a good ending to the series. The narrator did a good job and it was easy to fall into the book from the get go.

“Friends” I love to visit!

I’ve loved this whole trilogy for years, the characters have become friends I enjoy visiting time after time. Fiacre’s voice takes me back to my Irish roots, and Nora’s writing is so authentic. Beautiful descriptions and character development.
Would love to know what they’re all up to now and learn about the children!
