It took me awhile to get this review typed up.  There were so many things I wanted to say about this book, but didn't want to say too much and ruin anything.  First off, I started reading the book and couldn't put it down.  The author did an amazing job with everything from building the characters until you felt like you knew them personally, could relate (in some cases you wished you could related!) with them, and came to love and care what happened to them.  This book is nice and steamy, has humor running all through it, and keeps your attention at every single twist and turn of events.  When one chapter ends, you can't get the next started fast enough!  You might just want to get an entire pot (or two) of coffee ready and keep them right next to where you are reading because you won't even want to pause long enough to get up to get another.I absolutely love the dialect usage throughout the book.  You will find yourself starting to read it all with a bit of an Irish accent yourself.  It's written so well, you can almost hear the accent oozing from the page, and accents are always good!  The author is descriptive to the point where you can visualize every single thing you need to, but doesn't go overboard at all so you don't get lost trying to keep up with overly drawn out descriptions.  In other words, absolutely perfectly done, never causing you for even a second to have to take a break due to an overly long descriptive nature.  Excellent!This was pretty much the first time travel romance I've ever read because I wasn't sure I would enjoy the category, but boy was I wrong!  It was once of the best, if not the best, romantic love stories (with some nice hot steamy scenes) that I have ever read.  This author has a way with words and you will find yourself hanging on each and every one of them.What I think I liked the very best about this book was the storyline in and of itself.  I thought that perhaps it would be mainly just a romance, following the semi-typical romance genre rules but I was so very happily wrong.  The plot intensifies and builds at every corner.  There is romance, mystery, some good ol' revenge, humor galore, and a bit of good loving!Being transported to Ireland in 1645, mayhem ensues.  Imagine going from the modern world to a world without the very basic things we take for granted!  I won't give anything else away though because you would be doing yourself a favor if you read it for yourself.  You won't be disappointed at all.This book is just really very good.  I love that when you are reading it, you feel like a part of the story.  The language it is written in flows so smoothly it's brilliant.  You don't find yourself getting stumped on over inflated silly words, yet you also don't feel "dumbed down".  The writing is perfect and it sucks you right in and you won't be able to get out till you get to the very last word of the last page.  It will leave you wanting more, and more, and more.I would also really recommend to anyone who hasn't done so already, to check out the other books by this author, "The Wishing Well Series".  They are extraordinary horror books and when you read them and then this, you see the very wide range or writing talent this author has.  Keep your eye on this lady kiddos, she's going to go far with her amazing capacity to tell a story the way it should be told and her versatility to expand from genre to genre flawlessly.  One little word of advice though when reading this one, either have your partner nearby or make sure you have a clear path to a nice cold, very cold, shower!
