Burning Embers

The O'Brien Tales, Book 7

De: Stacey Reynolds

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

Duty calls for the youngest O’Brien son.

In a flash of heat, smoke, and flame comes a time of great suffering. Seany O’Brien has kept with family tradition, choosing a career as a first responder. But his choice brings risk and heartbreaking sacrifice.

Lost in a fog of pain and grief, not even the fierce love of the O’Brien clan can pull him from his unending nightmare. But sometimes salvation arrives on two legs, and other times on four.

Maureen Rogers has lived a lifetime in the six years since she said goodbye to a dashing, young Irishman. They were too young, too passionate, and separated by too many miles. But she is a girl no longer. No man has ever captured her heart like the beautiful Irish boy of her girlhood. When Seany O’Brien is wounded in the line of duty, Moe answers a desperate call, bringing her to the bedside of her first love, and unexpectedly to the vast and breathtaking hills of Connemara.

Good story, fabulous narrator!

I’ve listened to the entire series. The stories are good, but Justine Erye brings them to life beautifully. She truly is phenomenal. The next one is just as great.

All her books

Enjoyed so much that I listened to all of them in a marathon Such a writer.

WOW

Wow what an emotional roller coaster strong male and female characters,. This is a wonderful series. All the stories are very Interesting well written and beautifully narrated.

o Brian tales

loved loved this series . hours of pure joy. what a story teller a keeper for sure worth every credit. a must listen. beautifully narrated by Jane Eyre.

Love them all despite the “predictableness”

Even though the storylines are all very similar and predictable and seemingly constructed according to a specific formula, I have loved all of the books and I’m sad that there’s only one more left in the series! This series is a fabulous escape from there crazy world we are living in these days… Thank you Stacey Reynolds!

A good story line spanning a number of books.

I enjoyed the story the author keeps tabs on all the characters over the each book. Using the same narrator was an excellent choice. She has an excellent voice which falls good on the ear.

Sean and Maureen’s Story

Although the books in this series are formulaic, Ms. Reynolds does not disappoint. She always intertwines mystery and adventure into her romance, with a dose of reality and excellent imagery. Her descriptions remind me of the Kilts and Quilts series, also set in a coastal area of Ireland. I really want to visit!

In this story, Sean and Maureen (Mo) are adults, trying to find their way back to each other after the 7 years they spent apart, as they were growing up. Both have experienced traumatic events, both love horses, and they love each other…but they have to figure out how to share their pain in order to be together.
The ending is a cliff hanger involving Josh. Will he be able to stay in Ireland with his new and true family?

There are now 12 books in this series, (as of 12/2024) and I will definitely keep listening to them all. The narrator is amazing and engrosses the listener with her Irish lilt, American accents, and excellent character voices. I hope more books will be written in this series and read by this narrator!

Looking forward to the Next tale

I have listened to all the tales and novellas. I had stepped out of my usual genre with book one and kept listening. Justine Eyre is probably the reason. The series is so well read. Quite often very humorous and I had some really good laughs. Nice balance of drama, mystery, politics, religion , like real life. I think the sons were all taught there bedroom skills by dad because they have the same routine, in the same order, with the same dialogue, cut and paste in each tale :). The Marine Corp "oorah" is little unrealistic (as a military brat, married military, and command ombudsman for 5 years, I say its simply not that perfect) but it would be nice if it was. Those are just personal irks. Everything else was pleasure, and if Brigid has a come to Jesus in one of the next few tales there will be real magic.
Stacey Reynolds is quite cleaver weaving the different threads of life evenly together, and I like the way she uses music to fortify the story. I often stop and listen to the songs that are being sung in the story line to enhance the moment.

Looking forward to the next tale.

Love these books

These are great stories. I love that Stacey keeps them fresh and new. Justine is so excellent with her narration that I have become a snob to lesser talent.

Made for TV series

It’s like a Celtic version of “Lonesome Dove”. Romances are blooming & danger is lurking, before the next book.
