Renee’s Five Star Review

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

Aislinn is a good catholic girl who loves her family and would do anything for them. Her sister is her world but has disappeared while on a trip to New Yolk. She can’t just sit around and do nothing so she leaves her hometown in Dublin to go and stay with her Uncle who is a catholic priest in the biggest Irish-catholic parish in the city. He is also the confessor for the Irish Mob. Not one to sit around and do nothing it isn’t long until the name Lorcan Devaney pops up on her radar. He is one of the major players in the underground criminal world. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do to find her sister right? Lorcan is ruthless and brutal and rules with an iron fist. He certainly is not afraid to get his hands dirty and his temper is feared by all and the man has not one ounce of patience. However Aislinn has come too far now to let one man who she should have never even known existed stop her. She is convinced that he is the man who knows exactly why her sister disappeared but she sure never expected secrets from her family’s past to come spilling out all over the place. And, you never in a million years could have convinced her that she would have to marry the man who she thinks is responsible for her sister disappearing. Will she find her sister and be able to escape her marriage to Larcan? Or, is she about to be the second Killeen in her family to disappear?
Well, I cannot tell you any of that. You are going to have to read this book and find out what happens. I will go ahead and tell you that your not going to be able to lay this book down once you pick it up. These characters are going to stick with you for a very long time after you close this book and I love when character’s stick with you like that. It means you have read something amazing and will reread the story many times. This book is filled with secrets and danger. Some serious steam and the banter in this book is nothing short of amazing. With a strong female character and a man who perfectly matched to her you do not want to miss this book.

My eyes trailed over the blood splatters all over Lorcan’s wifebeater and arms. There was even blood on his forehead and on his eyelids. He had the Devaney clan tattoo on his right bicep, a five-leaf clover. Every man in this warehouse displayed the same tattoo. 

I fought my revulsion. Uncle Gulliver’s gaze was practically X-raying me. 

“Aislinn, silence doesn’t suit you,” Lorcan drawled, flashing his white teeth at me. No blood on them, though I wouldn’t have been surprised if Lorcan later feasted on his victim. 

“I say yes … to your proposal.” The last word left a bitter taste on my tongue and it felt as if I’d just signed away my life. Marriage hadn’t been part of my plan for the next couple of years, even before Patrick cheated. I’d always known Patrick was too immature for such a bond, and I was never in love enough with him to see myself at his side indefinitely, but this was something I’d only realized after his confession. Lorcan was far from immature, but a marriage to him would challenge me in ways I didn’t even want to consider at this point. 

Lorcan’s answering smile was triumphant and possessive, and when his eyes dragged over my body, lingering on my thighs as if he could still see them spread apart like last night, a wave of heat rushed through me. 

“That calls for a toast,” Lorcan said, then louder. “We’ve got a reason to celebrate. Aislinn Killeen agreed to become my wife.”

Howls and clapping echoed through the warehouse, sending a new chill through my body. Seamus came over with a bottle of Tealing Irish whiskey, and a stack of shot glasses. He handed one to me then to Lorcan and the men gathering around us. None of them seemed bothered by the fact that we celebrated our engagement not long after Lorcan viciously beat someone to death. This was business as usual for them.
