Review: IRISH ICE by Emly Forrest

IRISH ICE

Danger and romance ignite when Irish Eyes turn into Irish Ice.

A killer is on the loose in Boston with possible IRA connections and ties to murders in London. When Jessica Grandville lands in Beantown for business, she's charmed by Colin Keane, a much younger and sexy Northern Irishman.

As Jessica and Colin's brief liaison develops into the start of a serious relationship, she begins to suspect there is more to him than meets the eye. Dragged into a web of danger and intrigue, she believes Colin is directly involved in the murders. And although attracted to his warmth and wit, she fears his fierce temper.

Jessica must decide if she’s willing to sacrifice her comfortable, yet dull, existence to pursue a relationship with the man whose loving eyes can turn in an instant into Irish ice.

Yesterday's review featured a tempting Scotsman, and today we have an equally tempting Irishman.

IRISH ICE is a short and sexy read from Lyrical Press' Irish Stories Collection (ePub format = 53 pages). The story is about a young widow named Jessica who travels to Boston on business, and she falls under the spell of a mysterious and seductive man from Belfast.

It's lust at first sight between Jessica and Colin, but Colin's continued secretiveness troubles her, especially since the police drawing of a wanted murderer looks a little too much like Colin. But, he's a gorgeous younger man who makes her feel alive again. Hmm...what's a girl to do?

Though short in length, the story was well-written with a fast-paced plot and relatable characters, especially Jessica. I can certainly understand how she fell fast for a charming bad boy like Colin. 

IRISH ICE is an enjoyable "quickie." :)
