She’s my nemesis.
My prisoner.
I‘ll make her beg for mercy.
I’ll make her scream my name.
I’ll make her mine.
Sheena Hurston’s been a thorn in my side for years.
But when she tries to bring my family to ruin, I’m done playing games.
She will pay for what she’s done.
No one comes before my family.
Sheena belongs to me.
My Thoughts:
Nolan McCarthy gives the reader a look into the life of his family. If you haven't read the series yet, it may act as a reminder that you have some catching up to do. Sheena Hurston takes family responsibility very seriously. But it's nearly crushing her. It will grip you at how sad things are but you do what you have to because in the end, family is still family after all.
There was one word that kept coming up and it got to the point that it just got itself under my skin. The more pages that went by, it went deeper and deeper until I finally did something about it. Part of the problem became that while I was reading. I kept hearing the wrong accent in my head and I needed to fix that.
It was a very simple internet/dictionary search that would help solve some of the problem. The other problem solver was that the next time I read this book, or catch up on the series, I'm going to play some Irish music in the background. It didn't take away from my enjoyment of Nolan and Sheena's story but i would prefer knowing that I was hearing the right accent. Knowing that there's an audiobook, narrated by two of my favorite narrators, out there will help me with my problem as well.
This story is a great mix. If you like mafia romance, you'll get that with an accent. Do you like women who do things with conviction but are willing to backdown when the right person comes along. Family plays a big role here and the story shows the different kinds. It's a story that moves seamlessly from scene to scene. You will get some suspense, some romance, and something just a little darker. The author doesn't go too dark so there shouldn't be anything there to offend but some may depend on what you're used to. This story left me looking forward to more of this author's work.
