~Midsummer Lightning~
by Kate Ivers
|
|
Heroine:
average/voluptuous |
|
Kelly Sullivan finally has a chance to wow her standoffish upper crust parents
by landing a major promotion to Vice President of Lawrence Hotels.
All she has to do is slum in Ireland for a few months and assure the
smooth transition of a beautiful Gothic castle from its current owner
to her boss' eager, waiting hands.
But she hadn't counted on falling in love with the quirky old estate.
Nor did she expect to care about what opinion the current owner,
handsome Conor
O'Meara, had of her. But care she does, and now she has to find
a way to make everyone in her life happy. Yet the harder she tries to
win, the more it seems like she is going to lose everything she has
fought for.
If she can only make it work by giving up one thing she desires, what,
or who, will it be?

What worked for me: |
|
I am so glad that the heroine didn't stay prickly through two-thirds of
the novel!
The sexual tension was pretty good. (And let's face it, you can't go
wrong with a hero who is an Irish version of Mel Gibson!)
I love happy endings, and this one certainly fit the bill.
Size-wise Kelly was average and on a diet at the beginning of the
book. But the hero preferred her on the curvy side, a shape that was
easy to maintain once she discovered full Irish breakfasts.

|
What didn't work for me: |
|
There were some minor mechanical flaws in the writing that distracted
me now and then.
|
|
Overall: |
|
"Midsummer Lightning" is a pleasant way to pass a rainy
afternoon.
Warning: there are some steamy scenes and
coarse words in this book.
