Description

Born to wealth and privilege, but now widowed and betrayed on the unforgiving Arizona frontier, Viola Ross must choose between starvation and marriage -- to her husband's killer. Or take a scandalous risk and turn her back on polite society by becoming the mistress of William Donovan. With his reputation for ruthlessness and a piercing stare that can stop any man -- or melt any woman -- Donovan seems fully capable of defending her with his bullwhip and Bowie knives. Not to mention what else show more he can do with those big, callused hands ... As desire flares between Donovan and Viola, a killer's lust for Viola turns to deadly vengeance. For his allies are the very men who once destroyed Donovan's family, and this time, they'll let no Irish Devil stand in their way ... show less

I read this book because of a challenge I was in where I had to read a book with Irish or Luck in the title.

I enjoyed the story, as it had everything in that I enjoy in a good book - romance, sex and a story with a bit of angst (if you know what I mean) but there was someting lacking that does not make it a 5 star read.

Viola Lindsey, married Edward Ross because he blackmailed her but because of the marriage her family disowned her (something Edward had not expected) and they went west to mine gold/silver. Now Viola finds herself widdowed after her drunkard husband has been murdered and his murderer wants to marry Viola but she hates him and even after Paul Lennox paid her business partner to move on and sell everything from under her show more Viola still refused to marry him, instead she chose to be the mistress of a wealthy Irishman William Donovan.

Little did she know that Donovan has wound a fantasy around the lovely Viola so he can't believe what he is hearing but yes he'll have her and they get straight into it and continue on a regular basis. I enjoy good sex in a book but something in this was a little lacking, it wasn't getting me like other author's of this genre do - still it was enjoyable.

Towards the end Viola is kidnnapped by Lennox - this I found gripping which surprised me.

I would still recommend it. I have just noticed that it is part of a series and I may give the series a go (if my library has copies)
