Mulligan Magic

The Mulligans #2

by Deb Stover

Return to the sprawling Irish countryside and the delightful Mulligan family with award-winning author, Deb Stover, where an old curse can spark the fiery depths of love and passion. Maggie Mulligan returns from University to teach school in the small village of Ballybronagh that adjoins Mulligan land. When her brother, Riley, moves his bride and son into the renovated Castle, and their Mum joins them, Maggie chooses to remain in the family Cottage, and concentrates on keeping the local school open. A thirst for revenge and justice takes former New York City police detective, Nick Desmond, to Ballybronagh, where he hopes to gather enough evidence to convict his father’s murderer. Almost immediately, Nick's yearning for revenge is joined by his overwhelming desire for the beautiful local schoolteacher. He finds himself battling more than one type of danger--one from the past, and one very much present. His passion for Maggie threatens to overtake him. The consequences could be even more devastating than his original mission, and endanger himself and the woman who means more to him than one lifetime....

About the author

At the tender age of four, Deb Stover declared her candidacy to become the first female President of the United States. She took a detour to play Lois Lane and penned her first Letter to The Editor at age eleven. The Lois Lane gig suited her, but she couldn't bring herself to blow Clark Kent's cover for the Big Story. At a relatively young age, she met and fell in love with her own real American Hero, so Superman was free to continue fighting for justice (seriously, what is Clark doing about the dearth of phone booths these days?).

Considering her extensive personal experience with real heroes (Dad, Superman, Husband), redirecting her passion for writing from journalism to Romance Novels seemed a natural progression. Since publication of Shades of Rose in 1995, she has received dozens of awards for her work, which includes over twenty titles in a variety of languages and formats.

A native of Wichita, Kansas, Deb and her family have lived in five states, but after her Hero Husband's death, she recently made the decision to follow the Yellow Brick Road back to be near her Hero Dad in Kansas. After all "there's no place like home."

Of course, there's still the unfinished matter of her presidential campaign, but first she has many more stories left to write....

[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

Both Mulligan books are Must Reads. Both made me feel proud of my own Irish heritage. Deb has a real knack for characterization. Her story people seem as real to me as any people I know in Real Life. And don't even try to guess about Deb's imagination. It's out of this world!

Sex before love

I find it hard to believe that an Irish virgin Maggie would have been so ready for sex without getting to know the stranger Nick. Good potential story...but not really believable about being in love, just lust. Great supporting characters, though.

I love everything Irish and Ms. Stover does not disappoint. Her description of the Irish countryside, endearing characters, flow of magic, romance and suspense touched my heart. Well deserving of the 5 star rating.

No Just In Dreams

I really enjoyed this story. I read the first one so of course I had to get the second one. These are stand alone novels.

I have always loved a little romance with a lot of mystery.

wonderful follow up to the first book "Mulligan Stew'. Enjoy the culture of the Irish people and their way of seeing the world. Fascinating read and lots of good humor.
