Book Review: "Luck of the Irish" by Liz Gavin

About The AuthorLIZ
When Liz Gavin was in Second Grade - just a couple of years ago, really - her teacher told her mother the little girl should start a diary because she needed an outlet for her active and vivid imagination. She was a talkative child who would disrupt the class by engaging her colleagues in endless conversations. She loved telling them the stories her grandfather used to tell her.
Apparently, the teacher wasn't a big fan of those stories, and Liz's mother bought her a diary. She happily wrote on it for a couple of months. Unable to see the appeal of writing for her own enjoyment only, she gave up on it. She missed the audience her friends provided her in class. She went back to disturbing her dear teacher's class.
Since then, she has become a hungry reader. She will read anything and everything she can get her hands on - from the classics to erotica. That's how she has become a writer of erotica and romance, as well.
As a young adult, she participated in a student exchange program and lived in New Orleans for six months. She fell in love with the city and its wonderful inhabitants. NOLA will always hold a special spot in Liz Gavin's heart. Nowadays, living in Brazil, Liz's creativity has improved many times because it's such a vibrant, gorgeous and sexy country.
Welcome to her world of hot Alpha males and naughty, independent women. Add a touch of the paranormal in the presence of some wicked souls and you'll get the picture.

My Review
Great Read With Strong Characters
This book has everything: strong characters, including an alpha male and a strong, independent female; Ireland (great setting); romance; murder; and suspense. I fell in love with Kiera and Declan as they fought to protect one another against a psycho. I also loved the light paranormal aspect of it.
Kiera's grandfather told her tales of his homeland, Ireland, when she was a young girl, and she scraped and saved to go there. She set off to live her dream of both Ireland and seeing her favorite group in concert in their home town.
Declan has his own relationship demons to bear as he struggles to come to terms with his developing feelings for Kiera.
