Claddagh
Bradan "Claddagh" AdairSix years ago, I claimed an ol' lady, and a year later she gave me the greatest gift any man could ask for - a son.But bringing our son into the world came at the price of her life, and my heart never recovered. Through the years, I've celebrated my brothers finding their women and starting families, but for me, it's just my son and I. I don't ever want to risk him and I loving someone who might leave us again.But the most important woman in my son's life is his school counselor. An intelligent, shy beauty named Clara Rogers, who has my son's heart . . . and my attention more than I want to admit.With my President missing, his ol' lady needing the club more than ever, the last thing I need is extra drama on my plate. Too bad I don't have a choice when I happen to drive past Clara's one night to find her in the dirt, in tears, her face bloody and bruised.Bringing her under my protection is without question, but getting her to open up about who hurt her is like pulling teeth with rubber pliers - it's damn near impossible. Until the very man shows up looking for her, and he's a damn cop to boot.Now, he wants Clara back, but there's no way I'm giving her up, and I don't care what force we have to go up against. No one is gonna hurt this woman again, not now that she's mine, and her ex-husband better realize - Irishmen aren't scared of the cops, no matter how crooked they are.

For fourteen years she worked full-time as a paranormal investigator and demonologist until retiring in 2014. During that time, she had three children, earned a degree in Psychology, and eventually got back to writing.
Today she lives in Middle Tennessee with her children and boyfriend, and spends the majority of her time writing things that make people smile while cutting their emotions deep, running her own professional editing company, and enjoying life

I absolutely love the EIMC series and have been patiently waiting for Claddagh to be released. This book did not disappoint! Bradan is the hot single dad of the Club. His son is his world after the loss of his wife. Though the club is going through a lot at the moment with Shamrock's disappearance and the birth of Shamrock and Fay's triplets, it is good to see the chemistry between Bradan and Clara. She is the counselor at his son's school. But Clara has her own demons. Her ex-husband is after her and will stop at noting to get her. Claddagh and the rest of the EIMC will do whatever they must to keep Clara safe.
I love reading the worlds that Courtney Lynn Rose writes. It is easy to fall for the characters she created and root for them to get the HEA they deserve. And don't get me started on that ending...I can't wait for Grey and Willow's book!!!

Claddagh is a sweetheart
He is loyal, fierce, lovable, and in love with Clara the girl with a hidden past. I enjoyed the book errors and all. I just sort of giggled through them. Such as "she looks over her should" lol. There were several errors but that didn't stop me from gobbling the book up. I just wished Shamrock would come home already. Now we have two more missing ah man, I want him home so he can see the triplets before they grow to much! I want to hug that little boy Tasmin such a great kid.

I love these Irishmen and have been waiting for Claddagh to come out. Wanted to see who would snag this man and his son’s heart. Boy, did Courtney not disappoint. One thing with her books is the emotions you get from reading them. You feel what the characters feel. I laughed, cried, and yelled. Clara is in hiding and doesn’t want to get into any relationship with a man until she knows she is safe. Claddagh doesn’t want to open his heart and risk his and his son’s heart getting broken again. Date has other plans for them. These two need each other and you can see the connection they have. There is action, secrets, truths, deception and some twists. I absolutely love Tas. He is the sweetest little boy ever. If you have read Courtney’s previous books you will see what is going on with one of their brothers. I am not going to spill the beans so to speak.I will say the ending stopped my heart. One thing you will learn is that you will probably cry at least one reading each of this author me books. While these are standalone and each have a different couple, I feel that you should read the previous books in this series. You will get better enjoyment out of it and understanding with them.

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!
Well, another one of these gorgeous bad@ss alpha bikers has found the love of his life and I have to say I love Clara's character. She's so good for Claddagh and Tasmin. Speaking of Tasmin this little boy is total cuteness overload. The way he cares for his family and tries to protect them is so much like his Dad. He's Claddagh's mini me. When Clara finally gives into Claddagh/Bradan it's like the sun coming out again for two people who have been in the dark for quite awhile. Clara's character is strong but vulnerable and she's like a breath of fresh air to Bradan and Tasmin. It's always so heartwarming the way the Ol' Ladies are always so welcoming to the new woman. But when Clara puts Sapphire in her place I was like HELL YEAH! Lol! When Big Ma tells Clara about the family history it was really cool to find out myself. It clears up any confusion about the three families. But now I have to get to yes, another cliffhanger! WOW! WHAT A SHOW STOPPER! I don't even know what to think right now except the biggest one being NO F*CKING WAY!! He has to get to meet his babies. And I'm still waiting to find out how Trinity is gonna break her news to Timber. I EXTREMELY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES TO EVERYONE!

Bah
Ok here we go! I started this series & I'm gonna finish it! I waited till the final book was out. I'm not sure if the author felt rushed or what but this book was not my favorite. Typos, rushed feelings, & no time. Tell me how you gonna "love" someone you don't know? I get he knew of her due to the fact she worked at the school with his son but love after saving her? I'm not buying it. After her beating, how was she able to go back to work so soon? I mean it was literally the next day & she was ready to go?! Either she was as torn up as was said or there was no update on how much time had passed. Was hoping this was gonna light a fire under me to finish this series but I think it may take me a minute to get my courage up to finish. I'm really debating on whether or not if I should read the next book or just read the last. Personally all I care about is getting Finn back so Fay can have the life she deserves. Would I recommend this book? No, not really but if you must beware of the insta love, no time, & so many irritating typos. On to the next!

Braden, Clara and Tasmin
Clara is the witness protection program because she revealed what her ex husband was doing and he was a cop. Antonio only received ten years but apparently escaped and came after Clara, sadly thanks to the help of her Marshall handler. Braden was smitten the first time he saw Clara at the school where his son Tasmin goes to. Clara doesn't like some of the things that the club does to people, because of her morals and education as a school counselor and mental health issues. Braden has agreed to not lie to her but doesn't go into detail about what happens at the barn. Some twist and turns and some surprises as well throughout. I have to say one of the many reasons that I've enjoyed these stories are because of being in North Carolina where I live, so yay for that. Happy reading.

I loved this book. Claddagh is such a wonderful man. He's caring and loving, he dotes on Clara. He will do everything to protect her and his son. He doesn't want to love again but love happens when you least expect it.
Clara is hardworking, guarded, and doesn't want to get involved because of her past. She adores the kids she works with and that's her life. The secrets from her past keep her from living a completely fulfilling life.
When Claddagh and Clara get together the chemistry and connection are there but they both fight it, at least for a time. They deal with a number of twists thrown their way but you don't know if they survive until the bitter end. Great read, laughter, tears, moral questions, and some rather rough sections. Not for anyone looking for a G-rated book.

So this series kind of confuses me. Some of the books I really like and others are kind of meh. This book I had some issues with. In the beginning Clara gets beat badly but there is never mention of her bruises or being unable to go back to work, in fact she goes to work right away even though she supposed had broken ribs and nose. But beyond that, this was a bit strange to read about Claddaugh supposedly falling for this woman he knows for a while after reading about him and motormouth. Side note: her story kind of gets a bit ruined since I read it after finishing what I could in this series.

Bradan Adair the quiet responsible, Dad of the club. Since losing his wife during child birth he lives for two things. His son, Tas, and the club; until he meets the school counselor and has a conversation not related to school.
At the first non work conversation he is smitten. and for the first time opens to the idea of loving someone new. Though she is hiding something, what she is reluctant to tell him until he finds her beaten to a pulp. After that there is no way he is leaving her alone.
Rose crafts a world full of history, hope for the future and realism that makes you hope men like these exist. I love this series and Claddagh was worth the wait. I can't wait to see what comes next.

I'm a sucker for a single dad story and this one was up there with the good ones! The combination between a single/Irish dad did it for me and it did not disappoint.
Claddagh and Clara's story is intriguing. Especially after finding out Clara's ex-husband was going to create problems for her. Suddenly protecting her became one of the top priorities in his life. The fact that her ex is an crooked cop makes the story more of a nail better. Mix in an adorable little boy and you have a perfect combination for a great story.
Highly recommended.

What a Man...
The wait was so worth it to read about this amazing, charming, so hot man who would do anything for the women that he loves, this series is so intense and mystery about Shamrock, but the ending will have you saying Oh no!! It will only get even better because this author knows how to keep you wanting more. Cannot wait to read the next one. This book was reviewed by a Book Loving Vixen

This series is a continuing emotional roller coaster! I am so thrilled Claddagh has found his love with Clara. I'm overjoyed that Tasmin will have a mom to love him throughout his life.... BUT.... right when I took a deep breath.... BAM.... this author gut punched me again!
These books are each a stand alone in the romance department, but part of a larger story arc. I'm highly invested in this family. Read these book and you can thank me later. ❤️

love this one
I am thoroughly impressed by this author’s writing style. This book is excellent addition to the series. There is action, an attack on someone’s woman, lockdown waiting on finding a crazed ex, a sweet romance when the biker submits to love, a sweet Boy to sweeten the heart, an news of Shamrock. There is a cliffhanger. Enjoy this story. Warning there are a few edits that need to be made but nothing that takes away the beauty of the story.

Well worth the wait, but the ending? I can't wait for Greys book. I'm going to remain hopeful. This book was everything I knew it would be. Well written, complete storyline and easily keeps us on pins and needles waiting for the next one. Awesome work.

Excellent!!
Wow!! Courtney Lynn outdid herself with this one. Its been a minute since book 3 but it was well worth it. Claddagh and Clara are !are for each other. Claddagh is a single father who can't fight his feelings for Clara who is in the WitSec program and can't tell him. She feels like every friendship or relationship she starts is built on a lie.

This is a must read. But I’m not happy about having to wait for the next book. By the time it’s out I will have forgotten this book. *Sigh*
