Review: Interesting but odd
Rating: 2 out of 5

*I waffle between 2 stars and 2.5 on this one*About to get married, Alexi receives a last-minute gift that turns her world upside-down. Caught in the aftermath is Jesse, a "bad boy from the wrong side of town" with whom Alexi once had a fling with. In the midst of mystery, the two find romance.WILD IRISH was a bit different than what I was expecting. It contained a mystery that was full of intrigue though it seemed painfully obvious (to me) who the culprit was. The majority of the novel dealt with Alexi's self-discovery and Jesse's need to prove himself to the town. Those three elements would have made a fantastic story but the novel was weighed down by what I believed to be too much cliche sex. It just felt like author Jennifer Saints felt the need to throw in sex to get people interested and it cause some scenes to lose significance.Another problem I had were the few editing issues I found. It's not enough to be annoying, per say, but a few misplaced commas caught my attention, as well as some incorrect tenses of a verb.I wanted to rate this at least a 3 for its execution of an interesting storyline but the erotica portions were just too odd at some points that I felt the need to lower the ranking. There's a problem when I felt the need to skim a bit every time Alexi and Jesse started undressing.
