This is the second book in the Concannon Sisters trilogy of western Ireland. Another wonderfully written book about three modern Irish sisters bound by love, spirit, heartache and time.

Nora Roberts is a wonderful storyteller. This is the second in a trilogy, which should definitely be read together and in order. The first book is called, "Born in Fire" 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 second book is about a woman who runs a bed and breakfast in the Irish countryside. Winter doesn't bring many guests, but this year a famous American author is making her place his home for the winter and sparks fly!

Second book in The Irish Trilogy. Brianna (who is the focus of this volume) was probably my favorite of the three Irish heroines. The whole series is worth a read (Born in Fire was first, and the third is Born in Shame).

When the harsh storms of winter descended upon western Ireland, the locals stayed indoors-and visitors stayed away. Brianna Concannon's bed and breakfast became a cold and empty place. But that was fine with Brianna. She enjoyed the peace and quiet,even when the icy winds howled at her window. But this year she's expecting an unusual guest mystery writer Grayson Thane from America. A restless wanderer with a painful past, he plans to spend the cold winter alone. But sometimes fate has a plan of its own. Sometimes a fire can be born in ice..

Refreshingly realistic and compelling is how Publishers Weekly described Born in Fire, the first book in Nora Roberts' captivating Irish trilogy. Now the bestselling author of Hidden Riches and True Betrayals continues the story of the Concannon sisters, three modern woman bound by the timeless spirit of their land. This is the tale of Brianna - whose cool beauty hides a heart of fiery passion.

Brianna Concannon is a woman with a rare gift for creating a home, and she makes use of this talent by running a bed-and-breakfast in a picturesque corner of Ireland. Mystery writer Grayson Thane is an American who grew up in an orphanage and has spent his life alone. A restless wanderer with a painful past, Grayson arrives at Blackthorn Cottage intent only on soaking up the Irish atmosphere and writing his next novel, but he finds far more than he bargained for. The beautiful, calm Brianna soothes his disquiet soul, and in her Grayson finds the home he hadn't realized he needed. Brianna knows that by falling for him, she risks her heart, already bruised and scarred by a young love who left her at the altar. But the yearning to let the American melt the ice around her cold exterior is irresistible. Unless Grayson can let go of his past to forge a future with her, Brianna may have gambled her heart in vain.

I liked Born in Ice by Nora Roberts even better than Born in Fire. There wasn't as long of a build-up at the beginning of this one. Most likely because the stage was set already in the first book. Brianna is so strong and so tortured that you just want to hug her and make everything ok. Gray's character could have turned out to seem selfish and shallow but he didn't. He came across as an equally tortured but wonderful man. even the tell-tale hints in his behavior toward the end were just right. I almost wanted to give it an A+ since it kept me happy the whole book through and I cried my eyes out at the end. But it just isn't quite up to my other A+ books so I gave it an A.

Brianna Concannon has turned her family home into a bed and breakfast, happy to invite others in for good food and a warm bed. But winter is not the tourist season and she is grateful to get a guest who wants to stay for at least a month. American writer Grayson Thane has no family and no roots and likes it that way. He moves from place to place, looking for inspiration for his books. Gray takes one look at the beautiful innkeeper and wants to get to know her. He loves her cooking, her quiet nature and her loyalty to her family. Brianna is drawn to Gray, but knows that he is a nomad and not a person who would stay permanently.

This is the second book in Roberts' Concannon Sisters trilogy. I absolutely loved both Brianna and Gray. Both are slightly wounded by the past, but have made better lives for themselves. And, they are both lonely, looking for that something that will make them complete. This is my favorite story in this wonderful series and I highly recommend it. My rating: 5 Stars.
