I had read the first book in the Ballymuir series and thoroughly enjoyed it...so I of course took the next step and hunted down the two books that followed.  I love finding a series AFTER they've all come out, no waiting for the next one to be published.  In The Boldest Man in Ballymuir, Jenna's story is told.  Since she was a very minor character in the first book I wasn't sure what to expect.  I loved both Jenna and Dev.  Dorien Kelly can tell a story that makes you care about her H and h, you want to know all about them and how they'll reach their happily ever after.Jenna, the owner of an old, almost restored mansion in Ballymuir, Ireland, and Dev, an executive in a company very much interested in buying her house in order to turn it and the surrounding area into an upscale resort, are attracted to each other from the beginning.  If the deal goes through, it would not only completely destroy the home that she has come to love... but the love that has begun to grow between Dev and Jenna. There are a lot of secondary characters in this novel and MS Kelly makes us care about everyone of them.  I love to read, some books I just keep reading in order to finally finish the things.  This book definitely doesn't fit into that category at all.  Instead, it's one you can't wait to finish and see what happens then you're almost sad that it's over and there's no more to be read.Hopefully, Dorien Kelly will follow up the first three books with Danny's and Pat's stories, the twin younger brothers of Michael (The Last Bride of Ballymuir) and Vi (The Brightest Flame in Ballymuir).  I, for one, will be looking forward to reading those stories if she does.
