I loved this book, much drama and a definite page turner! Lots of suspense. I couldn't put it down.

If you like romance novels, this is an interesting book and no porn.

I LOVED this book. It's a romance, but so much more. It has rich characters, a decent plot and was just a great read.

This is my new favorite author. I love how she writes about the people in the story and you feel like you know them all intimately. It's a story about Irish immigrants that came to Lake Erie years ago and the Donaghue sisters trying to survive in todays time and deal with mystery and history of their family in the early days. They own the Whiskey Island Saloon and each has a love story of their own to tell.

Very good

Pretty good. It's a story of three sisters, their family history, and how they came to own a saloon, and the secret within the saloon.
Parting Glass is the sequel.

"It would be great injustice to cram the novel to fit a single mold or genre.

The relationships between Megan and Niccolo in the present, and Lena and Terence Tierney in 1880, both have equal focus in the romance of the book. Many social issues are touched on including child abuse, the homeless, mental and physical disability, morality and religion, doing what is right over societal institutions, and of course, love.
What the novel expresses about love is beyond any simple romance novel, subtly centering more on honor, loyalty, and protection of people you care about. ...she asks, "Is it a greater sin to commit an act you know to be wrong in order to protect those you love, or to let them perish because you are afraid for your own immortal soul?" Yes, there is plenty of drama here. " amazon review
