I guess this time the ratings fooled me! This is not a love story but a hate story. Bronagh was an 18 y/o who acted like a spoiled rotten 10 year old. She had a temper tantrum each time somebody spoke to her! It got old quickly. She cursed everybody, told them she hated them, threw things at them, and slapped/punched them. I was so ready for Dominic to tell her to go F*** herself!! I didn't enjoy this book at all and my 1 star rating is a gift. ( )

This book was ... not very good to put it nicely. The plot while not original could have been okay if the authors writing had have been better. It honestly felt like reading something a cracked our hamester wrote. It was all over the place and didn’t flow well at all. It read like a very very rough draft more then a published book. I have no idea how it has such high ratings. ( )

Okay book.

Okay.. so in the beginning I laughed my bum off.. it was so hilarious.. bee is oslo funny I can't help it.. I love that one.. I loved the interactions between the characters in the beginning, but after a while it felt a bit too much.. I was not entirely convinced by them and it felt like it was too much. ( )

What a treat to find this series. Love this author’s voice. She’s from Ireland and most of the book is in Irish slang or their use of words and it was different. I also found myself laughing at a good portion of the book, her sense of humor is warped which I loved.

The premise for this series is a group of American brothers who are now living in Ireland. Even though they are the base of the series its only told from the heroine’s point of view. The two main leads in this book are both 18 and seniors in high school which is where the majority of the story takes place.

Its so hard to decide what to say about the book as I don’t want to give away big spoilers. The two sets of siblings are the main core. Bronagh Murphy lost her parents at a young age and her older sister becomes her guardian. She loves her sister and because of the pain of the loss of losing her parents she has decided she isn’t going to let anyone else in except her sister so she has alienated everyone at school and just keeps to herself.

Dominic Slater and his 4 brothers came to Ireland from New York. We don’t get the real reason till much later in book but know that Dominic fights in the underground fighting world.

Dominic is immediately intrigued by Bronagh but she wants nothing to do with him and so the two are constantly fighting which is the bases for much of the humor in the book. Bronagh is one tough cookie but yet she is also pretty vulnerable on the inside and fights to not let anyone see that side of her. As a reader you can see these two are perfect for each other but the culture differences and their backgrounds make it a bumpy road to that HEA.

As the story progresses we find out the real reason Dominic and his brothers are in Ireland. Towards the end of the book this drastically changes the mood to be darker. Each of the brothers has had to become something they didn’t want because of their mob connected father who is now dead but they are still paying for his sins. I look forward to reading their stories.

An angst filled book about letting your guards down to let love in.

If you love a book with a strong, sassy female lead... This book is for you. Bronaugh is a spit fire. There's no other way to put it. She stands up to the girls and gives it right back to the guys.



When Dominic enters her life like a whirlwind she is taken back by his teasing comments. She doesn't quite understand what he means all of the time, but she pegs him as rude. Together they play a game of back and forth. As annoying as Dominic is she starts to develop feelings for him. It's a love/hate kind of relationship. One minute they are hot, the next they are cold. In the end the question is.... do they let their guards down to let one another in?



The story was very well written and the plot was feisty. It's not a typical romance though... The characters do not get together instantly and when they do it's a war zone. I would have liked to see more lovey dovey action and less banter, but that's just me.

I definitely recommend this book & can't wait for the next by this Author.
