Only when Shawn Gallagher mixes his music with magic is he able to see how much tomboy Brenna O'Toole cares about him.

Holds up even better during a reread. I love the notion of friends falling for each other, and these two were such lively additions to the first book, it was enjoyable to watch them stumble towards each other. Special shoutout to Mollie O'Toole, Brenna's mother who is one of my favorite NR secondary characters ever.

Oh man.... I just.  I think this is my least favorite Nora Roberts' book I've read so far. I just felt angry and irritated with the really horrible misogyny in that Shaun seemed to always display. I was annoyed with this whole mentality of I need to bring Brenna around to courting me because she's stubborn thing and she was the one who was originally pinning for him but everyone is like you sure know our Brenna! It's horrible. It just all sucked.

Love this series nice short reads. An Irish romance with a touch of whimsy 🥰

3.5. On the one hand, if I think about this too hard I could probably rate it as low as 2 stars. On the other hand, it is peak Assholes in Love with bonus Fake Irish Legends, so it hits all of my comfort read buttons. Plus Nora Roberts knows what she's doing writing-wise.

As an aside, I now know when Ireland adopted the Euro (2002 for cash), because I wasn't sure if this series was accurate in its use of pounds. But I guess it is!
