If from time to time she grew frustrated or restless, she had only to remind herself that she was where she needed to be, and doing what she chose to do.

This book was fascinating. To be clear, this was my first Nora Roberts experience -- and I think my first foray into what I'd deem "classic romance fiction." Some of it was cheesy. Some of it was "who even TALKS LIKE THIS" worthy. But I actually thought the story was entertaining, and I'm a sucker for anything set in Ireland. It's not breaking any ground in writing, but it gets the job done, and I'll probably read the sequel.

Very classical Nora Roberts; if you have read most of her work (ehem, like I have done) you will recognise her early to mid-90s type of work. "Born in Fire" is the first part of a trilogy that follows the life of the Irish Concannon sisters. This first instalment is about Margaret Mary (aka Maggie), a glass artist who struggles between her ambition of becoming famous and rich and her love for her sister and a need to be alone, which would bound her to stay in her small hometown in Clare. Rogan Sweeney, the famous owner of art galleries all around the world, is interested in Maggie's work and granting her wish of making her rich and famous. Although Maggie and Rogan are from completely different worlds and have clashing personalities, the attraction between the two is undeniable--as they say, opposites attract.

As with most Roberts's books, it is a fun easy read, not very memorable but definitely enjoyable.

While I don't really feel the need for the characters to become rich or famous in the novels I read (and in general, I don't really like super rich protagonists), the story and the characters in this book worked. A good solid romance for anyone who likes romance novels.
