While I admit that this book starts out slow with numerous introductions to various characters, it does get better!
I was overwhelmed with the number of characters that were introduced in the first few chapters - I found myself re-reading sections to make sure I knew "who was who". After finished the book, I realized that this is #2 in a series.(I received the Kindle version, so I didn't see the large print on the cover that reads, 'Book Two'. lol)
Had I read #1, I would have known the characters, BUT, not having read #1, I did not miss anything while reading this book. I completely understand the story and the characters without reading #1.
Like most Christian romance fiction, this story involves a fire. Apart from that cliche, but the author did a good job with keeping the twists in the plot unique. I found myself trying to guess what would happen next, based upon other Christian romance fiction books I had read by other authors, but I was, thankfully, wrong each time. This book is entertaining and intriguing!!
The author kept my attention with her characters - I found myself swooning over Eoghan, and cheering for the two main characters. The are beautifully written and come to life on the page.
I did find that the Irish "slang" was difficult to understand. I could hear the characters speaking with an Irish accent while reading, but I admit, the few slang words confused me, at first.
I would highly recommend this book. It is not a cliche Christian romance story. The characters are beautifully created and the history of the times brought to life with the author's words. There are many twists and turns that keep your attention. You won't be disappointed with this book.
