"Brenna is a person that doesn't tell how she feels, until Shawn. He makes her feel female, Brenna doesn't think that it's love, she thinks it's lust. Shawn has to prove to her that it is love. While their little love affair was going on Brenna had to over come family matters and her feelings for Shawn, Mary Kate, and her pride. In the end they finally fall in love."
Helanna Nicol, Resident Scholar

"This is the second part of the Irish Trilogy. Set in Ardmore, Ireland, this story is about Shawn Gallaghar and Brenna O'Toole, whose childhood friendship takes a step towards love. Brenna has always had 'a yen'( a craving),as she describes it, for smart, musical and handsome Shawn Gallaghar. The twist to the story is that Brenna's sister, Kate, is also in love with Shawn. This makes the story all the more interesting. Brenna, ultimately, has to make a choice between her only true love and her family. Nora Roberts's great imagery and emotional dialogue really make this story come to life. "
evert, Resident Scholar
