Roberts, Nora. Face the Fire. Jove Books, 2002.
Reason read: to finished the trilogy started in February in honor of Valentine’s Day and love and romance and cheesy chick lit.
To recap the trilogy: Nell came to Three Sisters Island, off the coast of Massachusetts, looking to escape an abusive husband (a la Sleeping with the Enemy). She found a sisterhood of witches with Ripley and Mia and true love with Ripley’s brother. In the second installment, Ripley, the witch with the biggest chip on her shoulder needed to chill out. She found true love with a witch researcher. In Face the Fire, it is Mia’s turn to find her true love. The only problem is, her true love is someone who walked away from her many years ago, leaving deep scars and a toughened exterior. While I appreciated the fact Mia’s story ran through the earlier installments, I was disappointment when she decided she could have a sexual relationship with long lost love, Sam. Like the other plots in the Three Sisters Island trilogy, there is an element of evil that must be vanquished before anyone can live happily ever after.
Book trivia: Face the Fire is the last book in the trilogy.
Playlist: “Sea of Love” and Pink Floyd’s “The Wall.”
Nancy said: Pearl didn’t say much about Face the Fire except it was out of chronological order in Book Lust.
BookLust Twist: from Book Lust in the chapter called “Romance Novels: Our Love is Here to Stay” (p 203).
