Fiona Cavanagh is a member of an affluent political family, and she's always felt like the black sheep. Between helping with her father's newest campaign, trying to please her mother, and dealing with a stalkerish ex, she has no time for her own life, and she needs a break. When going out with her best friend to blow off some steam, she meets a sexy, and mysterious stranger, and life suddenly gets more interesting. Fiona never lets on who her family is, because she wants him to like her for her, and things look like they are turning around. Connor Duffy is desperate to expose Brady Cavanagh for the corrupt man he is. He's writing a book that doesn't have enough dirt in it for publisher interest, and he must find away to get close to the alderman, who let Connor to go to prison to cover up his own son's actions. Fate puts Fiona in Connor's path, and he decides to take advantage. The problem is that he didn't count on the feelings growing after spending time with her. As the family secrets come to light, will Fiona be able to forgive Connor for his part in it?
I love political stories with suspense, and Between Love and Loyalty certainly had that in spades. The character development is good, with a colorful cast of secondaries. The problem I ran into, was really bonding with Fiona, and Connor. They grew on me, but I didn't feel as close to them. Their chemistry seeped out of my kindle though, and it led to some spicy sexy scene goodness that made for a hot flash or two. Shannyn Schroeder's talented writing can weave twists and turns like nobody's business, which made for great OMG moments that I didn't see coming. The suspense factor made it super hard to put the book down until the very end, and by that time, I did want more of Connor and Fiona. This is an author that I will continue to read, so I'm going to HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Political scandals abound in this story of finding love where you least expect it.
Connor made a choice years ago as a young adult, a choice that he thought was the right thing, a choice that now all the consequences are arriving he's realized wasn't a good thing at all. He didn't know what was going to happen to himself, to his life, to his future back then and now that he does, know that he's seeing the reality of his situation, he's out for one thing, Revenge. Alderman Brady Cavanagh is the man responsible for his life situation, the man who is corrupt and bad and needs to be removed from public office and Connor will stop at nothing to see that done. Until he meets Fiona Cavanagh and finds himself lost to her charms.
If there's anything Fiona dislikes its the feeling of not being herself. Her family expects this of her and that of her, but nobody ever asks or wonders what she wants for herself. Fiona loves her family, but she doesn't care about their political aspirations, she doesn't care about dressing up in designer fashion and parading about lavish parties. Meeting Connor, who doesn't appear to recognize her as a Cavanagh, gives her an escape from the stress of being the aldermans daughter. Gives her a chance to be just Fiona.
Though their relationship initially starts out built on semi-lies and half truths, their connection grows and soon becomes much more. The budding love makes Connor focus less on revene on more on his happiness with Fiona while it makes Fiona want to go against her family and be who she is. I loved the struggles shown between Fiona and her desire to be a part of her family, but also her own person, and Connor's struggles to give up his revenge plot for love of the good woman he's found in Fiona.
Between Love & Loyalty brought a host of emotions into play and also several life lessons. Fiona learned the hard lesson that sometimes the people we love the most, those we'd trust with anything are often the ones who hurt us the most when we discover the truth about their character. Connor learned that sometimes revenge is not the way and that people are not always who we think to them to be on first impression. And above all I think everyone in the story learned that sometimes people can earn second chances and deserve them.
I loved how this story played off both sides, we got to see how Fiona was with her family, how they interacted, get to see her inner feelings, and we got to see how Connor had been affected by his past decision, how he blamed it all on Brady and wanted to use anything he could to bring the man down a peg or two. I loved that when the truth came out, that both Fiona and Connor did for the other what they thought was what they wanted rather than trying to make themselves happy. It showed a depth of character and how much the two had grown throughout the experience.

Great read
The timing of this book could not have been more perfect with the election and everything going on. The characters were intriguing with a surprising amount of depth. The story was fun and heartwarming which is exactly what I was looking for. An unexpected relationship through convoluted family ties and corruption makes for a good read.

Politics. Power. Family. Loyalty. Love. Sometimes these things have more to do with each other than it appears. When do you stop to find the connection to it all? Sometimes unraveling the issues makes the growth of the characters that much more to enjoy at the end of it all.
Connor and Fiona had much to get around to find themselves their forever love. Trust me it did not come easy. Neither was being totally upfront and open with the other. There was more to meet the eye than what they were presenting to each other. Use me for your purpose and I'll use you for mine. This was what I got from most of the read. Somewhere along the way they fell for each other, but that was when things presented themselves as family or love.
I found that at some point and time in the story, multiple points, that Connor and Fiona got on my nerves. Things seemed to be petting and spiteful most of the time. I did not like Dermott at all. He seemed more like a meddling, angry, old bartender with an attitude. The people that I fell for were the ones that did not have dominant roles in the story.
Looking for something not so predictable, not all the characters you were in love with, a family that had some serious flaws, a young woman confused, and young man that was just angry, a love that took time. Then you need to get this one. It will give you a little something different and not your norm.

Perfect timing for a political scandal book. The Cavanaugh family will do anything to protect their children. An event hidden deep in the past has resurfaced with a new relationship, no one knows what do about it. Fiona is struggling with her love for Connor and loyalty to her parents. Connor is misunderstood but seems truthful and loving to Fiona. Tons of steamy scenes, a scene stealing dog and plenty of stressful moments. My copy was given by the author and I have voluntarily written my review.

Having enjoyed all six books of Ms. Schroeder’s “The O’Leary’s” series, this reviewer was hoping this book would fall somewhere between the same lines in regards to likable main characters and a “destined to be lovebirds” romantic plot. Seriously, if you haven’t checked into that romance series featuring handsome Irish bar owning/tending siblings, I highly encourage you to do so. I absolutely loved it!
In regards to this book, however, it just didn’t seem to quite match up. To put it more simply, I never really grew to like Fiona or Connor, the main characters, not as a couple or even individually. Goodness, I didn’t even have much respect for Connor’s good friend, Dermott, the older bartender/best friend, who seemed to be the devil on Connor’s shoulder urging him on to use Fiona to get what he needed then toss her aside. Not even after much later when Dermott flipped like a switch and became the angel advising him to forget about revenge and just let everything go. So much for a wise, old friend talking someone down off a self-destructive ledge, huh? It isn’t much help after the person has already taken a flying leap into the bottomless pit of despair and regret.
Aiden, Fiona’s brother and one of the two culprits whose previous irresponsible actions lead to Connor’s prison sentence, actually seemed to be the shining hero among these other selfish misfits. At least he’s been trying to make better choices these last four years by being a better man. It’s a shame years ago he wandered into Connor’s implied realm of behaving badly (drugs, women, and booze) in the first place. Maybe if they had never met both families would have been better off. Sure, Conner seems reformed now but openly admits he could easily slide of the rails again and wind up on the wrong side of the tracks.
Regarding Fiona Cavanagh, what can I say? She certainly is no shrinking violet when it comes to men. Worrying so much about her family’s high profile image/reputation, I’m surprised she was so nonchalant/complacent in letting her friend choose a one night stand for her. She was quite bold and aggressive in letting Connor know exactly what she wanted from him. Little does she know she’s about to sleep with the enemy. You see, Connor has an agenda of his own. He is writing a book intent on taking down her politically powerful father, as he blames him for destroying his family and sending him to prison. He couldn’t be more pleased to have fate deliver her right to his bedroom door, so he can use pillow talk to dig up dirt on her dear old dad. What a guy, huh?
Ultimately, I think the main reason I couldn’t bond with this couple was because they both had no qualms about just using each other for their own selfish purposes, and I didn’t feel a heart-melting, emotional/romantic connection. Connor seemed to even resent Fiona going on a camping trip with him after he invited her. He kept mentally commenting the sooner he got the information he needed from her the sooner he could forget all about her.
The out of the blue, crass comments and smexy scenes didn’t seem to fit at times, either. Connor sitting in a bar thinking he could just pick up any random female, even looked around the bar for another redhead that looked like Fiona, didn’t sit well with me. Was I supposed to be glad he ended up leaving alone since he didn’t see such a woman? Frankly, for me, him considering it was just as bad.
Connor was certainly a contradiction. At 44%, he mentally comments how he likes to use his hands to build instead of destroy. Sounded almost saintly. Ah, buddy, hate to break it to you, but aren’t you trying to destroy Fiona’s family by typing/publishing a tell all book based on revenge/payback? Yeah, your hands, head, and heart were all involved in that attempt of character assassination/destruction.
Btw, at almost 50%, we still don’t have specific details on why Connor was put in prison or what happened to his family. I found that distracting. At the same time, Connor thinks if they are to pursue a real relationship between them, something needs to give. Meaning, she needs to open up to him. Hello, you are going to destroy her with whatever she tells you! Sorry, pal, I found myself wanting to “Sssh!” her and tell her not to breathe a single word.
Then there was his trepidation, yet excitement, enthusiasm about getting to spend time with her at a family wedding. “He began to feel like a kid going to the prom. He’d never made it to his. More important things to do, like get high or screw any available girl.” Yeah, not exactly what I wanted to know about him, folks.
Finally, mid-way through, Connor suddenly admits to himself he doesn’t want to hurt Fiona and wants to be a couple. Then minutes later, after a surprise visit to his doorstep, he’s back to there is no hope for them, ready to give up.
Fiona is just as wishy-washy. After getting mad when Connor stands up her, without even so much as a text, she starts to enjoy the attentions/dancing with another man. Yeah, soul mates they still appear not to be. Fiona comments to her cousin, “I’m in no hurry to find the perfect guy. There are plenty to sample.” Sure, that’s likely hurt feelings lashing out, but her actions soon follow. She deliberately shows up where she knows Connor is and ends up kissing the other man wanting him to see it. I guess it is good news for Connor she didn’t feel any sparks. Otherwise, she’d likely be doing more than that later on.
It takes almost 60% before Fiona starts wringing her hands over not really knowing who Connor is and wants to know what her family is really hiding. She confronts him, he feeds her some half-truths, leaving out the most important details, then she feels sorry for him and gets smexy to comfort him. Honestly, from then on I skipped over those scenes, because I struggled to feel a genuine, soul connection between them.
With more confessions about his illicit past, they seem to agree “we are good for just right now.” Then Connor morphs into this “I’m not good enough for her” character. Yes, he goes from “vengeance shall be mine, because I’m the victim” to “I’m a loser, she’s better off without me.”
Then with a predictable, “But I love him, so accept him or lose him,” Fiona invites Connor to a family holiday meal. Here’s to hoping they forget to put any sharp objects on the table, huh? Turkey may be the main entree, people, but I had to wonder whose goose was going to be cooked when this was finally all over.
Speaking of which, at 70%, with Connor still afraid to call this thing love after Fiona’s used those three little words, I just wanted the whole story to actually be over. I kept finding more and more excuses to skim to the end. Fiona freaking out and weeping over every news article/segment accusing her father of being a fraud didn’t help matters. Then her complete reversal to wanting her dad completely exposed, just added to the whiplash, exhausting effect of this storyline.
So between you and me, if you haven’t guessed it, this book wasn’t an overly good fit for me. Here’s to hoping others enjoy it. I usually love this author’s writing. I just wish it was more in the line with The O’Leary’s, with likable/respectable characters who aren’t just looking out for themselves.

This book was given to me for an honest review
3 stars
I have read many of this authors books and loved them. Thinking I would get the same intensity I did from the others I was a bit disappointed. I always love seeing the push and pull between two people. Pinning themselves against who they love and being loyal to their family, but my problem was the connections to the main characters. Fiona, which I love that name, I just couldn't get connected to in this book. I felt that I was skipping too many pages just to get to the conclusion this book. Conner, don't get me started. I don't like for one bit how he wanted to keep on using Fiona during this book. But then again I guess you could say they both used each other during the book. I'm just frustrated that I couldn't love this book. I am so used to getting so involved with this authors characters that it through me off immediately. Even the best friend of Conner was like this evil dweller that only wanted the worse for his friend. I don't know what more I can say.
I love this author. This is the first book that I skipped through pages so I just could get to the end. This was not a good fit for me and for that I apologize. I know this author will find the right readers for this book and I can only wish her the best, because this will not stop me from reading more from her. I am just sorry I couldn't fall in love with this book.

3* read.
Before I start my review I want to say that I do love this authors work and have read a few books of hers in the past, but out of all her books that I've read I did struggle with this one, mainly because I couldn't get a connection with Fiona or Connor so that really bumped the marks down for me. At some points they really got on my nerves so that I had to skip parts. That been said I do think that other people will love this book if they can find that connection that I couldn't get. I'm not going to say to much more about it as there was nothing wrong with the writing style at all, as usual this author delivers great work just for me personally it wasn't the book for me.
