Book Reviews of Dance upon the Air (Three Sisters Island Trilogy, Bk 1)

This was my first romance novel and I am now on the 2nd of the Three Sisters Island trilogy, by Nora Roberts. Such guilty pleasure and a nice break from the self-help and non-fiction that I generally read. Nora Roberts is a fantastic writer who makes you feel like you are part of the cast of characters that she writes about!
Highly recommend this book.

I love the east coast where this series takes place. Do you believe in magic?

Story about 3 woman who find that they are descendents of the the witches of Salem Massachusetts - that made the Three Sisters Island - and how they learn to deal with there powers and their romances. The first one is about Air - and her determination to leave the man that torments her!

This book is the first in a series of three. I loved the storyline and romance. It's about a curse put on an island located off the coast of Mass., in 1692, by three witches, and the decendants adventures. Good reading.

First in the bewitching Three Sisters Island trilogy.

The first of the Three Sisters Island Trilogy, I was so engrossed I couldn't put it down. Can't wait till the next book in the series.

First book of the Three Sisters Island trilogy. A dark curse from the past must be overcome if Three Sisters Island is to survive.

This is the first in the trilogy of Three Sisters Island. A great read and you HAVE TO READ ALL THREE!! Nora Roberts at her very best. When Nell Channing arrives on Three Sisters Island, she believes that she's finally found refuge from her abusive husband--and from the terrifying life she fled so desperately eight months ago...

The first book in the Three Sisters Island trilogy.Set on a remote, rocky island off the coast of Massachusetts, steeped in history, romance, and legend, this is an unforgettable tale of frienship, fate, and the way of the heart.

Book #1 in the "Three Sisters Island" Triology -

Book #2 is "Heaven and Earth" and Book #3 is "Face The Fire"

I loved these books! They were so beautiful, romantic and magical. Nora Roberts is such an amazing writer. Keep bringing these great works Nora!

This was a great series! I wish it had continued. It is neat how she interwove the stories in the 3 books. To me it was not like a continuation of the last book, but it was like a new book with familiar characters.

This is the first book of NR's Three Sisters Island trilogy. It got me hooked from the very beginning and I was happy having the other two books already here as I finished this one within one day and went right to the next one! :)
If you like NR's writing style, you won't be disappointed with this trilogy!

This is the 1st book in the Three Sisters Island trilogy and is pretty good. I stopped reading Roberts for a while because her stories were getting too much into the paranormal but decided I wanted to read these. This trilogy does get more into witches than some of her previous books. If spells and chants bother you, well, they're in these books and the paranormal aspect grows more and more with each story.

In this one Nell is on the run from an abusive husband, even faking her own death and changing her name. She meets the owner of a bookstore and works in her cafe and discovers a connection with this woman and that she is also a witch with powers. Together the 3 make a circle that is necessary to what's happening in the stories. These 3 women are descendants of 3 original witches from Salem who formed the island. each of those 3 made the 'wrong' choice and now these 3 must face unknown challenges to save the island. Nice romance with her and one of the island cops but as hot as that part of the story is I wouldn't say it's the sole focus.

loved this book, had to run right out and get the next two. In general Nora Roberts is a little tame for my taste. but this series is good. kind of like she is breaking into the paranormal genree.

Book 1 in the Three Sisters Island Trilogy.

First in the bewitching new Three Sisters Island trilogy

wonderful trilogy

An awesome book. Fabulous characters. The rest of the trilogy is just as great.

This was the first Nora Roberts romance that I ever read. It is still one of my very favorites. I love the magic!

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts - hailed by Publishers Weekly as "a storyteller of immeasurable diversity and talent" - presents the first book in her mesmerizing new Three Sisters Island trilogy. Set on a remote, rocky island off the coast of Massachusetts, steeped in history, romance and legend, Dance Upon the Air is an unforgettable tale of friendship, fate, and the mysterious ways of the heart.

ALWAYS A GREAT READ.

This the first book in her Three Sisters Island trilogy.

This a good book...It's a must read...

this book was great

Great reading, but really should read all three in the series

1st book in the series

When Nell Channing arrives on charming Three Sisters Island, she believes that she's finally found refuge from her abusive husband-and from the terrifying life she fled so desperately eight months ago...

But even in this quiet, peaceful place, Nell never feels entirely at ease. Careful to conceal her true identity, she takes a job as a cook at the local bookstore cafe-and begins to explore her feelings for the island sheriff, Zack Todd. But there is a part of herself she can never reveal to him, for she must contine to guard her sectrets if she wants to keep the past at bay. One careless word, one misplaced confidence, and the new life she's so carefully created could shatter completely.

Just as Nell starts to wonder if she'll ever be able to break free of her fear, she realizes that the island suffers under a terrible curse-one that can only be broken by the descendans of the Three Sisters, the witches who settled the island back in 1692. And now, with the help of two other strong, gifted women-and the nightmares of the past haunter her every step-she must find the power to save her home, her love and herself.

First in the series ... has some magic in it so it was one of my favorite trilogies from Nora Roberts.

Love all of Roberts books. This trilogy is especially good.

Very good book, holds your intrest.

loved the series

Great Read

So although I am a devoted Elizabeth Lowell fan, I must admit, Nora Roberts drew me in, tied me up and left me to roast!! I couldn't put this book down long enough. The clinic where my doctor is was 2 hours behind and I couldn't complain one bit - I got to read this book while I was waiting. I didn't even realize I'd been there 3 hours until it was time to leave and I saw the clock radio in the car...

This book is enthralling, well moving and exceptionally written. You will be amazed at how you get sucked in to the story and plot of the Three Sisters. If you like it as much as I do, you'll be upset it ends and the other two novels aren't included in the same binding!!

Easy to say this, but I give it 5 stars!

This is one of my favorite series from Nora Robert. She truly is a spectacular author.

Loved this trilogy!

Loved it

Nice mix of romance & mystery.

Very good, great characters and location. I couldn't wait for book two. The best of the trilogy, it turns out.

I really enjoyed this series. It was quick moving & kept me addicted to the book. Would recommend it to anyone who like things a little witchy

Nora Roberts is great! I could hardly put the book down.

Very hard book to get rid of...

I loved this book. It is the first in the Three Sisters Island
trilogy.

Loved this trilogy of growth and facing your fears. All three were posted today.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Loved it!

This book is the first of the trilogy, and as always, Nora Roberts does an excellent job of portraying the characters. It was definitely a good read.

Great read! I loved this book...

very good book , first in a three book series about three witches

Another trilogy series that I love. I don't have the other 2 books, but I read them and they were excellent!

First in the bewitching new Three Sisters Island trilogy

First in the Three Sisters Island Trilogy, Nora Roberts puts magic, romance and mayhem together with ease.

An enchanted island off the coast of Massachusetts, Three Sisters was formed as a sanctuary by three frightened witches fleeing persecution. Although the witches found peace on the island, each of them entered into an ill-fated relationship and died tragically. Now their descendants Nell Channing, Ripley Todd and Mia Devlin have to break the pattern set by their foremothers, or the island will sink. This first book focuses on Nell, a newcomer to the island who escaped her abusive husband by staging her death. Nell is unaware that she's a witch, but she is instinctively drawn to the island and secures a job as a chef in the caf‚ owned by Mia. Between coping with her bleak memories and deciding whether she can give her heart to Zach Todd, Ripley's brother and the island sheriff, Nell has little time to digest the discovery that she's a witch. In the end, however, Nell will have to come to terms with her newfound powers so that she can fight her all-too-demented husband. It's probably witchcraft that Roberts can turn out so many books and still create something that's sexy and charming, but in this tale, it's evident that she hasn't lost her fairy touch.

The first of her Three sister island trilogy. Makes you want to read the other 2.

I couldn't put it down!

First in the three sisters trilogy. Good book. Nora Roberts always writes good books, so I wasn't suprized.

first in the Three Sisters Island trilogy

First Book in the Three Sisters Island Trilogy. The second book is Heaven & Earth and the conclusion is Face the Fire.

excellent

First in a series of three. Each book deals with a different "sister". Good read!

This is the first in the Three Sisters Island trilogy. It is a great read!

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author-the first book in the reissued Three Sisters Island trilogy is a tale of friendship, fate, and the mysterious ways of the heart.

I loved this book and the trilogy.

Perennial New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts's new Three Sisters Island trilogy is pure magic! No, I mean really magic. An intriguing combination of The Witches of Eastwick and Sleeping With the Enemy, Dance Upon the Air introduces readers to the idyllic town of Three Sisters Island. Reputedly conjured by a trio of sisters seeking to escape the Salem witch-hunts, the island remains a place of quiet refuge for one and all, including pretty Nell Channing who arrives in town afraid of her own shadow, with few possessions and no past. But the warm, sunny days and cool, windswept nights, as well as the loving concern of new friends--especially hunky sheriff Zack Todd--soon lure skittish Nell into a much-welcome fresh life. Nell's new boss, the captivatingly lovely bookstore owner Mia Devlin (look for Mia's story, hopefully, in the not-too-distant future), wonders from what or whom Nell is running. Mia treats Nell as she would a sister, which isn't too far off the mark, helping Nell discover and explore her inner resources while Zack's romantic attentions bring a rosy glow to Nell's cheeks and to her future. But something wicked this way comes… Will Nell be ready to face and conquer her past? Even with the love and support of Mia, Zack, and Zack's fellow police officer, his peppery, down-to-earth sister Ripley, Nell has the fight of her life--the fight for her life--on her hands. Roberts continues to delight fans and create new believers with her talent and imagination.

The first installment of Roberts's newest trilogy set on Three Sisters island invokes the sensitive characterizations and magic that distinguished her previous trilogy (Jewels of the Sun; Tears of the Moon; Heart of the Sea). An enchanted island off the coast of Massachusetts, Three Sisters was formed as a sanctuary by three frightened witches fleeing persecution. Although the witches found peace on the island, each of them entered into an ill-fated relationship and died tragically. Now their descendants Nell Channing, Ripley Todd and Mia Devlin have to break the pattern set by their foremothers, or the island will sink. This first book focuses on Nell, a newcomer to the island who escaped her abusive husband by staging her death.

When Nell Channing arriveson the charming three Sisters Island. she believes she's finallyfound refuge from her abusive husband-andfrom the terrifying life she fled so desperately eight months ago...

Rated with four and a half stars on Amazon.com, this is first installment of Roberts's newest trilogy set on Three Sisters island invokes the sensitive characterizations and magic that distinguished her previous trilogy (Jewels of the Sun; Tears of the Moon; Heart of the Sea).

Vintage Nora Roberts

First in the Three Sisters Island trilogy.
When Nell Channing arrives on charming Three Sisters Island, she believes that she's finally found refuge from her abusive husband - and from the terrifying life she fled so desperately eight months ago...
But even in this quiet, peaceful place, Nell never feels entirely at ease. Careful to conceal her true identity, she takes a job as a cook at the local bookstore cafe - and begins to explore her feelings for the island sheriff, Zack Todd. But there is a part of herself she can never reveal to him, for she must continue to guard her secrets if she wants to keep the past at bay. One careless word, one misplaced confidence, and the new life she's so carefully created could shatter completely.
Just as Nell starts to wonder if she'll ever be able to break free of her fear, she realizes that the island suffers under a terrible curse - one that can only be broken by the descendants of the Three Sisters, the wiches who settled the island back in 1692. And now, with the help of two other strong, gifted women - and the nightmares of the past haunting her every step - she must find the power to save her home, her love ... and herself.

Nora Roberts is one of the few 'constants' in romantic fiction today. As an author, she paints vivid characters and sets a colorful scene in your mind where her story will unfold. Her books never fail to capture your interest from the first paragraph and hold it till the last sentence. Her trilogies are beyond compare. 'Dance Upon the Air' is the first of a new trilogy. Mia Devlin finds the completion to the 'circle of three' in new islander Nell Channing. She knows Nell is running away, but sees in her the promise of the future. Hero Zack Todd is big, brainy and beautiful. The perfect knight in a shining sheriff's badge. You get immersed in the love developing between Zack and Nell, and intrigued by Mia's spell casting and 'calling up the wind'. Ripley Todd, sure to be the star of one of the two remaining installments share some of the wittiest and most biting dialog with Mia. Their all too brief altercations will having laughing out loud.
Humor, suspense, mystery, romance.....GREAT!

This book begins the Three Sisters Island trilogy. It was my first acquaintance with Nora Roberts and I've been hooked ever since! When you want a decent story with really memorable characters that reads fast and stays with you - Baldwin is the answer! And I'm NOT a romance fan!

I read this book in one day!!! Couldn't put it down. I can't wait to read the other two books in this series.

First in Nora Roberts' Three Sisters Island Trilogy. Good story, in spite of the witchcraft which I did find interesting, despite myself.

A lite read and a fun book.

5 Star Read!! First in the Three Sisters Island trilogy. Be sure and read the other two as well.

This book is the 1st in the Three Sisters Island series. This book is set on a remote, rocky island in Massachusetts and is about Nell who comes to this island to heal and finds so much more.

One of my favorite Nora Roberts series, the Three Sisters begins with Nell's story. Highly recommended that you read the other two books after! (Heaven and Earth, Face the Fire).

Couldn't put it down--fascinating reading with a thriller ending.

Another great series by Nora Roberts.

A nice light romance story. If you enjoy Nora Robert's other work you will enjoy this.
