About this listen
An Garda Síochána have patrolled the cobbled streets of their storied capital for nearly a century. Within the heart of their headquarters, a bloody secret is revealed.
The tortured, brutalized bodies of young women are being discovered in the shadowed corners of the city. The victims are all young, American, and the killer has left behind a chilling calling card that could have drastic political ramifications.
Detective Tadgh O’Brien has spent three years working his way into the Special Detectives Unit of the Dublin Garda. When he’s assigned to a task force to investigate a series of murders of young American women, he finds himself unlikely allies with a US FBI agent.
Special Agent Charlie Ryan is assigned to the International Human Rights Crime Unit of the FBI. She’s ecstatic to receive a career launching assignment to work alongside the Garda task force in Ireland. But she discovers that her job will involve more than murder investigations. Her Irish counterparts will use her as bait to lure a homicidal trio out of the shadows.
When Tadgh and Charlie become temporary colleagues, they find themselves both at odds and unmistakably drawn to one another. Charlie is an experienced, street-savvy law enforcement agent from a large American city. Coming from an abusive home life, she’s learned to depend solely on herself, hesitant to trust anyone with her heart. Though Tadgh has acclimated to life in the urban jungle of Dublin, at his core he is an island boy who grew up on the coastal shores of Western Ireland. His darkest fear is that he may be the only member of the O’Brien family to never find true love and happiness. When he meets the feisty, intelligent, no-frills Special Agent Ryan, his fears change.
How will he protect her during these dark times? And at the end of this brutal case, how will he learn to live without her?
Includes bonus content Fio, an O'Brien Tales novella.

But forces unknown have better plans for the two.

Imogen, captain of the Irish charter boat, Mystic Pirate, has little time for friends and doesn’t trust her lovers. Perhaps the real issue is that she can’t trust herself, as she hasn’t yet found a good explanation for why otherworldly images dance before her eyes. Half-convinced that she is one step away from losing her mind, just like her mother, Imogen prefers to spend her life at sea with the only family she knows—her crew members.

Story
The knight was supposed to be a man. Not me, Sophie MacKnight, a marketing associate from California. This must be a practical joke that the Scots play on visiting Americans. Because otherwise I’ve inherited a haunted castle in Scotland, along with one irritatingly sexy Scotsman, who would be delighted if I turned tail and ran. Frankly, I thought I would fly here, sell the heap of bricks, and head back home to a life that I…well, I was comfortable with at the very least. Instead, the people of Loren Brae are in trouble, and it appears that as the new owner of the castle.

Now, with the pub being threatened by developers, and Harper’s fresh new start tainted by a decidedly grumpy Scotsman determined to make her leave, Harper must decide what’s more important—beating the Scotsman at his own game or saving the pub in time for Christmas.

It’s true. I’m not what most people would call “pretty” and, well, high school was rough. Fast forward ten years and life is good, until a bunch of jerks think it’s hilarious to put the “butterface” (AKA me) on a wedding Kiss Cam with the hottest guy ever - and that old humiliation hits hard. I recognize him immediately. The hottest cop in Waterbury and totally out of my league. But then he kisses me. And we totally forget the room, the crowd, everything. Then he tells everyone we’ve been dating for months.

Great story!
This episode in this series much improved from the last. Though the sex scenes may be appealing to some readers, the dialog between the participants are repetitive from different participants in all books in this series to date. Not very creative becoming so predictable as to be boring. There is so much more to these stories to be anticipated and appreciated.

Hmm 🤔
Let me start by saying I love these Irish alpha hunks ! I truly want to move to Ireland now 😁
I will continue to listen to the whole series but .....
They are all so much like the other especially books 2 and 3 . In so much of it the only difference is the names being used .
Also I am good with the narrator untill it comes to the sexual parts . She makes the males sound wimpy and you know it's always gonna be " give me your mouth I need you " that's in all the love scenes in all the books . The way it is read makes the men sound desperate and weak .
As I said I will keep going with the series I just wanted to give an honest review.
I love this family so much and I have to admit they make me very emotional at times to the point of crying but that comes from being so caught up with this family .
So it seems to be a lot of the same plot off and on but I will continue in .

Captivates my heart.
I listened to Tige’s and Charlie story in two days. I could not put it down. This book had me at the edge of my seat. Bonus story: I would have loved some More into Tim and Fiona story. Again, I am a big fan so far of this author and these books. My heart is captivated in every story. I focus on the story, the family bonds and the description of locations / emotions. Well done. Getting ready to hear book 4. Justine Eyre is a phenomenal narrator. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️
