Review: Kat & Irish
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 24, 2014
Great book! There are a few things that push it over to a 5 star rating, one of which is Irish's Boston accent. I love accents & don't really know why a Boston Southie accent like Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting would do it for me but man, it definitely pushes all of my buttons! Sometimes Kat will even repeat Irish's comments and spell them out in his Boston accent so you can read exactly what she is hearing and it is hot!! Kat is hiding in Louisiana, afraid of the men who want to collect on her ex-boyfriend's debts. Kat is Vanessa's little sister and Vanessa is stalling her wedding to Jax until Vanessa can talk Kat into coming to Hawaii. Irish, a nickname for MMA fighter Aiden O'Brien, is Jax's friend & decides he'll find Kat & check into her problems. Another explanation for the high rating is for the patient way that Aiden gets Kat to reveal her true identity, come forward with her painful past & it is simply tragic. I don't know how Aiden is able to get Kat to participate in any sexual escapades with him at all so he must be just that hot! She can't even stand to kiss him at first - she is battling some serious demons. I was afraid at first that we wouldn't have an action-packed story since Kat is so repressed. Aiden is able to talk to her throughout all of their physical encounters, to remind her that she is with Irish & he is going to take care of her, that she has all the power to stop anything she doesn't want to happen. My goodness, that Boston accent whispering sweet nothings in her ear, there is no way Kat can resist! There is plenty of drama & action & violence but these two have their HEA and I enjoyed every minute!
