Skipping the part on what the books are about, I'll start with the good and finish with a "but".  Cali MacKay creates wonderful characters and relationships between them.  I enjoyed the books' premises, and she certainly carries the reader along.  There's a touch -- just enough -- of the scenery to make the reader feel as though they dropped into the Irish countryside.  In each book, the writer develops a situation to create drama.  These situations, although amazingly difficult to believe would actually happen, would be enough on their own in furthering the story line, and, yes, here's the "but" to my review:  In all three of the stories, the author uses the same technique to create conflict between hero/heroine.  A + B = C, I get it.  In each story, supposed lying between the two just goes on and on and on and on to the point where it becomes ridiculous.  Please, men coming into a private home with guns to steal a necklace; a girl being attacked in a new town, and a brother being kidnapped is enough conflict without the lying issue in each and every book and on and on and on.  I think you understand where I'm heading.  I would read more from this author, but I have to wonder if this "lying" issue is in each and every book she writes.
