FINAL DECISION: My favorite book of the trilogy, BORN IN ICE has two characters whose past has kept them from moving forward with their lives. I loved how Brianna wins over the wandering Gray with a quiet simplicity.

THE STORY: Brianna Concannon has made a life for herself after converting her family home into a bed and breakfast inn. The younger sister, the dutiful daughter and the one always seeking to make peace in her family, Brianna is looking forward to a quieter winter with only one scheduled guest. Grayson Thane is a famous mystery writer who has come to Ireland seeking peace and quiet and inspiration for his next novel. Gray enjoys his gypsy life traveling from place to place working on his writing. Attracted to Brianna, he wants her but knows that things will end and he will move on.

OPINION: This is my favorite book in the series because I loved both the hero and the heroine in this book from the start.

Brianna is the peacemaker in the family. She has always tried to smooth over the difficulties in her family and yet this book shows how she has been effected by the discord between her parents and the resulting familial difficulties. Despite or perhaps because of this, Brianna has sought to make a peaceful domestic atmosphere that she has translated into her small business of her inn. I loved how Brianna uses the domestic arts to make a "home" for travelers. She is the "ice" in the story because of her place in her family and also because of her quiet personality. This book reveals secrets in her past which result her re-evaluating her life. Into that disruption comes Gray who pushes Brianna from her safe space.

Gray is a man who is so scarred by his past that he has built a great life, but one of a nomad with few personal connections. He sees this as a kind of freedom, but he is challenged by Brianna and the town where she lives. A man who insists that he will not stay when he starts an affair might seem callous, but Gray is so open and honest and caring that I understood him as a character rather than thinking he was a jerk. This book also delves deep into the writing process (something the author certainly understands) and I loved the depictions of how Gray works as an artist.

When I think of this series, I always think about the characters sense of place in Ireland and also how they all connect to the artistic process. There is such an expansive understanding of artistry in this book. Gray is the obvious artist because of his writing, but Brianna is an artist in her own right as she cooks and knits and gardens. The appreciation for these arts is something that I appreciate in this book because such great talent is something that is often overlooked.

This book has a small subplot of mystery which fits the story because of Gray's profession, but this book is really focused on the relationship between Brianna and Gray. The subplots only serve the purpose of the romance which is exactly how I like my romance books.

WORTH MENTIONING: Readers of the first book in the series will get a nice update on Maggie and Rogan.

CONNECTED BOOKS: BORN IN ICE is the second book in the Born in Trilogy. While the romance here is self-contained and thus can be read as a standalone, this series is meant to be read together as there are overlaps in characters and an overarching storyline.

STAR RATING: I give this book 5 stars.

These stories were heart warming and suspenseful. An amazing couple take in different troubled boys and blend them into a very caring and tight knit family. I couldn't wait to get in my car to find out what was happening next. A plus was that it was set in the Chesapeake Bay area which is close to home for me. Kudos to Nora Roberts and the narrator that drew you into the stories.
I'm a fan of all Nora Roberts' books. I find that sometimes they can be predictable as far as you know there's going to be a romance, especially with the trilogies - usually you're introduced to three women and three men. But for me, the joy is in seeing the story and characters develop. The scenes are described in such detail you feel as though you're there experiencing yourself what is happening on the page. The characters' personalities and emotions are so real, you feel as if you know them personally and you're hoping things work out for them -- or in some cases, hoping it doesn't. I read and re-read many of Nora's books because I enjoy getting lost in the story, much as I will watch a favorite movie over and over again. Reading her books is like being transported to another time and place.
Of every book, of every series, that Nora has written, this is my most favorite. My second favorite is the Chesapeake Bay series.

The Born In trilogy was written with so much heart! I wish it were real and that I could travel to Ireland and become part of the family!

Nora, please write another book so we can join this family again and see how the babies have grown and meet the new babies I'm sure have come. I would love to see Maeve happier. And perhaps she could sing for us.

Maybe a Christmas novella? That would be brilliant!

Anyway, these are the books that turned my daughter into an avid reader! Thank you for that.
Don't get me wrong it's a decent book, but Grayson just didn't make sense and Brie was way too kind. It's basically about a young woman losing her virginity. After they have sex she immediately says she loves him (which I get) - over and over again so there shouldn't be a surprise that she did. SO he breaks up with her because she is "too icy." Huh?! Until then, he has never said it back after she said told him a gazillion times. Grayson then turns it around that it's her fault he's leaving. I started to like him early in the book but it just went downhill.
This is such a great book, that I look forward to going back and reading these stories again like some that I already have, and I am impatient to read the rest of Nora Roberts' stories right now. Hot, Hot, Hot, love scenes, a well written, creative and intriguing story about family plus inventive, vivid characters, all on top of seriously wonderful love and romance. Each story is about one key person, usual in a family, or close group of friends, they are linked through intricate, messy links and it's almost like a movie you get the privilege of witnessing about these people's powerful, emotional, and often times painful journey towards falling in love. Roberts is one of my most favorite author's, and she doesn't disappoint in this series. Her unique style and classy, yet moving love scenes, paint a beautiful picture that leaves a person longing for something similar for themselves. All of that is combined into this fantastic series and make this book a "must-have"!!!! I didn't want to set it down....seriously!! Lol I was nodding off over my book on several different occasions. Worth the price and more to have a Nora Roberts book in your library collection!!!!!!
