Summary: Classic Silhouette Intimate Moments by Heather Graham
Review: It shouldn't have happened but it had. And in the years since then, Kit McHennessy had never been able to escape the memory of her one night of love with Justin O'Niall. Now she was back in Ireland again, back in the tiny village of Shallywae and, before long, back in Justin's arms. But the past still haunted her, and there were questions to be answered before she could let herself think about love. Lives had been lost all those years ago, and the present seemed no less dangerous. Suddenly Kit was forced to realize that she might not live to taste the happiness a future with Justin offered.

Summary: Not the sweet love story
Review: Kit McHennessy reluctantly returns to Ireland with her young son to write a travel book on the country that took her groom's life eight years before. She runs into Justin O'Niall, the man who cared for her in her tragedy, and finds him darkly brooding and moody, yet compelling. There is mystery behind their first encounter that follows them into their second. Unable to deny their strong passion for each other, they rekindle a relationship that years before seemed wrong. I was disappointed in this book for several reasons. The author uses a Scottish brogue instead of an Irish one. Big boo-boo. The two major characters are constantly fighting (when they aren't making love), which is contrary to sweet romance. They simply seem to never find a common plane on which they can both survive -- and this problem is never resolved believeably. And some passages are repeated several times unnecessarily. I closed the book feeling dark and moody myself and would not recommend it to anyone just for that reason. Good points? Some interesting Irish history, perhaps, but when told with a Scottish brogue, very contrary. Nope. If you want to read a love story set in Ireland, stick to Nora Roberts or Lisa Hendrix. They are feel-good stories. This one is not.
