Every book in the "Dangerous Doms" series has been riveting. Their stories were so real, so intense, so intriguing, so powerful, so heartbreaking, so wonderfully romantic and through it all, I felt like I had fallen right in the middle of the entire world and was actually there. I loved it!!
3rd times a charm! I loved it even more this time around. These Irish men love their women fiercely and take their responsibility as head of their households very seriously. The McCarthy Clan is not just a brotherhood but a family of loyal brothers whether it's by blood or friendship.
