Darlin' Irish - Book Beginnings on Friday and The Friday 56
As Darlin' Irish (Texas Devlins) opens, Jessie Devlin uses her second sight to receive a message from the depths of a well - "Look West." But the vision also includes a pair of loving gray-green eyes as well as eyes flecked with flames. Does danger await her as she seeks the man she is destined to love? Author Lyn Horner took me on a romantic adventure from Chicago to Utah to Texas in this delightful wild west story. What a journey!
Book Beginning (Prologue):
Chicago; April, 1872
"Saints above! Where is it?" Jessie muttered, slowly making her way across the dark, fog-shrouded field. She couldn't see one blessed thing.
Friday 56 (from 56% on my Kindle):
He looked magnificent in his dress uniform with its gold cording and epaulets, his dark hair shining, his bronzed features so handsome and proud. Hardly believing he was soon to be her husband, she met his eyes, heart knocking against her ribs.
Genre: Western Historical Romance
Length: 320 Pages
Amazon Link: Darlin' Irish
Goodreads Synopsis:
Psychics in the Old West? Yes indeed! Say howdy to Lyn Horner's Texas Devlins, a trio of extraordinary siblings. Darlin' Irish, the first book in the author's unique, award-winning trilogy, is a tale of epic adventure and steamy romance set ablaze by flashes of psychic power. Jessie Devlin possesses second sight, a gift inherited from the "Old Ones," her Irish Druid ancestors. A survivor of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, she endures nightmares of the fire in which a gentle, loving stranger saves her life. She believes they are fated to love and a prophetic vision sends her west in search of him. But a second vision warns of a fiery-eyed madman who may also wait somewhere beyond the horizon. Will her quest lead her to happiness . . . or into a deadly trap? Captain David Taylor is a Texan banished from home after fighting for the "wrong side" in the War Between the States. Now serving on the frontier, David meets Jessie on the way back to his post after a trip east. She stares at him as if seeing a ghost, for he looks like the hero in her dreams, but while he's entranced by her beauty, he has no taste for her firecracker temper. She brings to mind someone from his past who he'd rather forget. As the two journey west by rail their clashing personalities war with a fiery attraction to one another. Violence dogs their path and explodes in Mormon Utah. Whether love will win the day or be lost forever is a question that hangs in the balance until a shattering final battle between good and evil on the broad Texas plains.
