A wonderful Irish love story rooted in the rugged landscape of County Clare. It is impossible for the reader to not fall in love with the scenery as well as the two main characters, Maggie and Rogan.

The first book in Roberts breathtaking trilogy. Set in western Ireland, the lives and loves of the Concannon sisters - modern women of ambition and talent. A very easy read, hated for it to end. Excellent!

Love Roberts in any of her series.

Loved it and looking forward to reading the next installment in the trilogy :)

Really enjoyed this.

First in Series; introduces characters well and made me want to read the next book. I love Nora Roberts, and I love Ireland; what a combination!

First book in a trilogy. Good book, I am on #3 now.

Ever since travelling to Ireland, I love books with Irish settings. I love books that I can get lost in and I was able to do that with this one.

The first book in the 'Born in Trilogy. This was one of Nora's best trilogies.

About a glass artist and her art dealer who owns a gallery.

One of Roberts' best - got me hooked on her books

Another GREAT trilogy from Nora Roberts. I loved it!

The first in a projected trilogy about the lives of three Irish sisters, Born in Fire gets the series off to a fine start, telling the story of talented glass-artist Maggie Concannon's contentious relationship with Dublin gallery owner Rogan Sweeney. Country-dwelling Maggie is otherworldly, prickly and outspoken, while Rogan is an urban sophisticate; nevertheless, the attraction that springs up between this unlikely pair is both believable and compelling, thanks to Roberts's (Private Scandals) skillful character development. Lacking melodramatic overtones or strange twists of fate, the plot may seem less than exciting, but the conflicts Maggie and Rogan face are refreshingly realistic and the characters themselves, well-rounded and likable, will keep readers engaged.

good series

Ok not like other Roberts books.

Nora Roberts did it again.Maggie Concannon, a glassmaker. Rogan Sweeney, a gallary owner helps her build a lucrative business, Then things between them begin to happen.....

The story of how Maggie Concannon overcame her struggles and became her own woman, Born in Fire is a wonderful story of ambition and love. Maggie is the fiery redheaded older daughter of Maeve and Tom Concannon and isn't afraid to show her temper. She grows up in a home where she is loved by her father but scorned by her mother. Will she get her revenge or show kindness in return?

Spite fire Maggie Concannon steps out of the flames from her furnance and lays down her metal heating rods to shape glass and butts heads with Rogan Sweeney who won't take no for an answer.

If you read Nora Roberts than you have to read the first book in the fire and ice serious you won't be let down.

An absolutely fabulous trio of books.

First of a trilogy about Irish sisters. This one was my favorite for sure. I thought it exciting and funny at the same time. A good read!

Part of trilogy, Born in Ice and Born in Shame

a nice romance for a fiery red head and a cool collected man.

First of the 'Born in..' series, great read!

Nora is awesome.

The Concannon sisters of western Ireland are modern women of ambition and talent, bound by the timeless spirit of their land. Maggie is a fiery artist who can't hide from her past---or from a love that is...BORN IN FIRE.

If you love Ireland you will love this series!

Book 1 of the Irish Trilogy. Interesting enough characters to get me to pick up the sequel.

Nora Roberts is a wonderful storyteller. This is the first in a trilogy, which should definitely be read together and in order. The second book is called, "Born in Ice" and the third is called "Born in Shame". The three books are the stories of three sisters, each born in a different part of their parent's lives. I absolutely love it when I get to experience different people in a family, whose lives I'm already familiar with from another story.

This first book tells the story of the oldest sister, whose great love in life is glassblowing. She is pursued by and finally falls for a curator who loves her work before he ever meets her.

I truly enjoyed this book. Just started the second one and love that one as well.

This is the tale of a fiery artist who can't hide from her past or from a love that is...Born In Fire!

Ohhh so much fun! Sexy, sweet, funny! I love Nora's books and this was no different. Now on to Born in Ice!

Born in Fire highlights Margaret Mary Concannon, the eldest sister, a glass artist with an independent streak as fierce as her volatile temper. She is a woman who is both comforted and torn apart by family, and whose ambitions will lead her to discover herself and her talents. Hand blowing glass is a difficult and exacting art, and while she may produce the delicate and fragile, Maggie is a strong opinated woman, a Clare woman, with all the turbulence of that fascinating west country. Her relationship with sophisticated Dublin gallery owner, Rogan Sweeney, won't be peaceful.

This is the first book of Roberts BORN IN trilogy.

I really enjoyed this book. It a fast read. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did

1st book in Nora Roberts romantic "IRISH" Trilogy....

"Gifted, reclusive, stubborn, free-spirited....Maggie Concannon is a glassmaker whose exquisite works are more than mere objects of beauty, but reflections of her own true nature. One man saw the soul in her art, and vowed to help this complex woman build a lucrative career. When gallery owner Rogan Sweeney came to Maggie's isolated studio, her heart was enflamed by their fierce attraction..... and her dark past was slowly healed by a gentle and forgiving love....."

Very quick, easy, enjoyable read!

I loved Maggie and I loved Rogan. I'm getting to know Roberts' writing and what to expect of it, now. I have learned to wait for it. It builds slowly but the foundation is worth the waiting. The side stories were beautiful as well. The secondary characters are as deep and real as as the main characters. I rate this one a A- .

Title is the same, cover is different.

The first in the "Born In" trilogy about the lives of three Irish sisters is a light, fast-paced novel set in the Irish countryside.

Great book 1 in what I am sure is to be a awesome trilogy. Born In Fire is a story about Maggie, who is a glass blower. It is heart warming and I was totally entranced in the story.

loved it

Excellent as are all her books!

Book one in the BORN IN trilogy.

There is no doubt Irish rose Maggie is her father's daughter. When her father dies, Maggie throws herself into her artwork. She is happy hiding from the world in her studio. Then city-slicker Rogan comes alon, and refuses to take no for an answer.

Wonderful. Follow along with these three sisters as they each find their dream.

this is for the fiesty women that are down home girls at heart.

It was intriguing and kept you a little on the edge of your seat to see what Nora Roberts was going to do with the characters. It is a love story but it also has intrigue and suspence in it. Most people think the world of their children but this mother doesn't. she loves her in her own way, but they both need more., so enjoy reading it.

this is the 1st trilogy in the born in books, i have also listed the other 2..i read them all in 4 days as they were so good, i couldnt put them down.

One of her best trilogies.
