Born in Fire / Nora Roberts / 485 pages

Margaret Mary Concannon is a Venice-trained glassblower.  She had finally sown pieces in Irish cities known for their glassware and sold some.  Her father supported her and her career from the start, mortgaging the house to pay for her Venice education.  Her mother resented her from the start.  Her pregnancy with Maggie ended her singing career and trapped her in a loveless marriage with Tom, Maggie's father.  Tom dies unexpectedly and Maggie assumes financial responsibility for the family.  Maggie's sister, Brianna, has turned the family home into a B & B and Maggie has purchased a small place for her harridan mother.  When Logan see Maggie's work, he pays a  visit to her workshop/kiln and sparks begin to fly.  With Logan representing Maggie, conflict fans the flames...and the romance.  The romance scenes are a bit descriptive, but the lilting Irish accents in the audio book make this a comforting, fairy tale-like read.
