Roberts books are always comfortable. This series is no different. The characters are full and interesting. (

My favorite of the three. Murphy! (

The best thing about this book was that it satisfied my curiosity about what would happen when the third sister was found. However Shannon's story wasn't as good as Brianna''s. Again, the main setting is County Clare with Shannon staying at Brianna's B&B and many of the characters we met in the previous books of the trilogy appear. If one is a fan of Ms. Roberts and doesn't mind a bit of "we've lived and loved before" then Born in Shame might be worth a read.

This was a really interesting book to read. I couldn't decide how the ending would be and whether Shannon would end up staying with her half sisters. (

This third and final novel in Roberts's Irish trilogy is the story of Shannon Bodine. Shannon's life is rocked by an emotional earthquake when she learns the identity of her real father. Obeying her late mother's last wish, American Shannon travels to County Clare, Ireland, to meet the sisters she never knew she had. Warmed and comforted by the bond that grows between her and her sisters, her heart is lured by the charm of the Irish countryside and tempted by the attraction of horseman Murphy Muldoon. Murphy takes one look at Shannon and knows that she is the woman he's waited for all his life. But Shannon is a practical woman. Will she open her heart and mind to the timeless, magical bond that connects them? Or will she reject fate's plan and leave Murphy to return to her life in America?
