Summary: I haven't even finished
Review: This book is great and definitely a keeper. Donna FLetcher gives the reader of stubborn pride but even stronger love. I enjoyed all the characters and she goes in depth making the reader a part of their family. Fletcher gives a tale of a women who will not be broken down and a warrior whose might makes everyone quiver including the heroine, but not in fear. As they fight against the odds their love strengthens. The secondary characters are wonderful and I cannot wait for her next book.

Summary: Fabulous story - this one is a keeper!
Review: This book was one of the best books I have read in a long time. I read it straight through the first time because I could not put it down and then read it again more slowly and it was better the second time. The characters - even the secondary ones - were interesting and had depth. The heroine was strong in character and a breath of fresh air and the hero, although arrogant at times, turned out to be a great guy. I cannot recommend this book enough.

Summary: Wow, just Wow
Review: Well, the first thing that attracted me to this book was the title, anything Irish attracts me. Anyways, this book happens to be the best romance novel I have read in a long time. I loved the playfulness between the characters. Also in other books when some authors try to make the heroine protected by the hero, they make the girl seem weak and ditzy. This is not the case with Eric, I loved him almost immediately and Faith definitly wasn't some weak little thing that you wanted to smack sense into. Overall this book was just awesome and I could read it again and again.

Summary: Do they still have editors?
Review: Would someone please inform the author or her editor or anyone who had a chance to make corrections on this book the difference between "a" and "an", that a score is equal to twenty not ten, and that there is no verb tense in which "had rode" is appropriate. It's extremely distracting to be reading a book in which the grammar is so flawed and verb tense is just the tip of the iceberg. Much of the description reads like a first time effort on the part of a teenage girl who thinks that more adjectives is the best way to go even if they're contradictory adjectives. The story itself is interesting although it falls apart toward the end. When all is said and done the motives for the actions make no sense at all. The relationship between the hero and heroine is interesting and the sexual tension is good. Unfortunately the writing takes an even more downward turn after they finally consummate their love for one another. The supporting characters are essential to the action of the story and are used well, but they don't generally have much more personality or real individuality than the heroine's dog. The good are only very, very good and the bad are only very, very bad and silly to boot. I am not encouraged to read the other books in this series because some of the problems with this book could have been cleaned up by a decent editor. Instead they were just ignored.
