Cursed with the Irish clairvoyance known as 'The Sight', Donovan O'Shea fled to America to escape his 'gift'. 15 years later, his father's illness has forced him to return to the family homestead where the past comes back to haunt him.

My thoughts:

Short..make it short...

Donovan has the sight.

Rylie comes to Ireland and claims to be his sister

He has the hots for her (euwwww). His excuse is that he refuses to believe her.

There is this stupid cop who is all Tell me who murdered the stranger in your backyard!!!! Seriously, am I supposed to believe a cop is that stupid? Donovan was 7 at the time.

Rylie gets the hots for Donovan.

There are strange things in the Fens.

Bordering ok at times. But enough to pull through to good. Mostly cos I like Ireland. Still, would I read more by her...no. So that ok is reaaaally close

New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr takes readers back to her beloved Virgin River country in this heartwarming tribute to Rhonda Clemons, founder of Zoe Institute and a winner of a Harlequin More Than Words award.

My thoughts:

60 pages that were good, but rushed. Yes I get that she wanted to tell an entire story, but even though it was good, it also went too fast.

Abused woman struggles with work, and her heart; a charity for single moms. She has two kids. No time for a man.

But oh, there is a sexy neighbor that likes to help out. She is all, leave me alone. But he continues to help and in the end she realizes that he is a good guy. And they will live happily ever after.

Conclusion;

Maybe not the best insight into Carr. But I do wanna try more.

Sergeant First Class Shane Garrison has spent a year recovering from his combat injuries. A year spent in the arms of the woman of his dreams. But loving Jen comes with a price: every time he touches her, he faces the uncertain fear that loving her might mean losing her forever.

Jen is a breast cancer survivor and with Shane, she’s found a man who loves her despite her scars. But her scars may be too much for their love to survive.

As their love grows, so does the risk to Jen’s life. And Shane must make the toughest decision any man can make to save the woman he loves.

My thoughts:

You know what the worst thing is. Opening a 70 page ebook, thinking it is that long, but no, it was 30 pages. The rest was a preview of another book. Sigh.

Armyman is thinking of a vasectomy. His wife had breast cancer and kids could make it come back. She does want kids. They think about it, and live happily ever after. The end.
