A true classic for me finally concludes....again. I remember when I first read this trilogy I read them out of order, starting with this one. This time I read them in the correct order and I still loved every page.

I wished more fiercely that Tom Concannon was still alive. I would have loved, as Shannon might have, to see them dance around a relationship, but the story wouldn't have worked as well if he hadn't passed in the beginning. Shannon's not my favorite sister (that would be Maggie, I think - hard to choose), but she's a great character anyway. Murphy, on the other hand was my favorite of the men of County Clare. And as always, I'm sad to leave the Concannon sisters in Ireland. Maybe someday Nora Roberts will revisit and show us Liam and Kayla all grown up!
