Thylane is tough, distrusting, but determined to lose her fears and make a profession out of painting. Walking into an Irish pub for a potential painting job changes everything.The pub makes her feel like she's in a different world. The Irish music, deep brogues, and good looking Irishmen all vying for her attention, help her to finish what she started. She grabs the attention of one man who could do her harm as well as one who she falls for even in disguise.
There are too many players in this game to know who they really hold loyalty to. Is she just a pawn? A woman some terrorist wants to bed? Can she trust the four men she's attracted to despite hearing the rumors about them being players and only after sex?
It's too late when she realizes that walking into the pub was a set-up, not a romantic adventure, and definitely not a joke. People she trusted aren't who they said they were. Agents are lying, others are using her, but it takes everything she has and the connections her men, her new family, and their friends have to save her life, and make that one decision to walk into the Irish pub have a happy ending after all.
People seem to be more interested in my name than where I get my ideas for my stories from. So I might as well share the story behind my name with all my readers.
My momma was born and raised in New Orleans. At the age of twenty, she met and fell in love with an Irishman named Patrick Riley Dwyer. Needless to say, the family was a bit taken aback by this as they hoped she would marry a family friend. It was a modern day arranged marriage kind of thing and my momma downright refused.
Being that my momma’s families were descendents of the original English speaking southerners, they wanted the family blood line to stay pure. They were wealthy and my father’s family was poor.
Despite attempts by my grandpapa to make Patrick leave and destroy the love between them, my parents married. They recently celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary.
I am one of six children born to Patrick and Lynn Dwyer. I am a combination of both Irish and a true southern belle. With a name like Dixie Lynn Dwyer it’s no wonder why people are curious about my name.
Just as my parents had a love story of their own, I grew up intrigued by the lifestyles of others. My imagination as well as my need to stray from the straight and narrow made me into the woman I am today.
3.5 Stars I enjoyed this book and finished it in one sitting. I liked that this book was action packed. The danger in this book kept me on the edge of my seat. I liked Stack, Pisces, Rusty and Finnlan but there weren’t enough of them in the story. Tell a lie, Finnlan was in the story a lot but the others were not. I liked Thylane. I liked that she was able to protect herself at times. She knew how to use a gun and do martial arts. Because there was so much danger, I didn’t feel much chemistry between the heroine and heroes. I wanted more scenes with them spending time together. The storyline for this book is easy to follow and a gripping.
Can Stack, Rusty, Pisces, and Finlin save Thylane from the danger she's in before it gets worse - and what about Lauren will she feel safe again I'm waiting to find out.
A little convoluted in the beginning trying to sort out the different players and angles of the story, but overall a pretty good read. Dixie Lynn Dwyer writes some good stories and this is just one more in a long line of fun reads.
