The Irish Appeal

When I sat down to write a book featuring an Irishman (the culmination being Stone Cold Kiss, my newest release), my boyfriend told me it had to include three things:

-Drinking
-A bar fight
-And a casual attitude towards the above two things


And my boyfriend would know. You see, he's from the province of Newfoundland (Canada). You're probably thinking to yourself, "That's not Irish," but have you ever been there? Celtic music pervades along with, yes, those three things he mentioned above. Newfoundlanders have every bit of the attitude and charm that resides just across the Atlantic Ocean from them. I also have an aunt-by-marriage who is from Ireland, but that's beside the point.

There's something irresistible about Irishmen, wouldn't you say? Along with the accent, they have that flair, that charm that makes every woman a puddle at their feet. Could it be their casual attitude toward, well, everything?

For me, the hero of Stone Cold Kiss, Seamus, is so magnetic because of his attitude. He's not pretentious, though he might be slightly smug. He's just...Seamus. He knows who he is and what he wants -- and that last just happens to be Kelsey Donovan. Poor woman just didn't know what she was in for when she flew to Ireland :)

Do you find Irishmen irresistible? If so, why?

Blurb: One Kiss…

Dangling over the parapet of a castle, Kelsey Donovan doubts her decisions as she battles with her fear of heights. How will kissing the Blarney Stone change her life? But as the arms of a sexy Irishman close around her, she begins to change her mind.

Can it lead to a lifetime?

When Seamus McKinley rescues a tourist gripping the Blarney Castle for dear life, he never expected her to grab hold of his heart just as tightly. But can he convince her to meet him halfway?
